Clarity From Contrast Process
Contrast is a natural part of expansion. Each life experience contributes to the compound effect of our growth and evolution. It’s essential to remember that Source does not assign negative or unfulfilling meaning to anything we experience. Instead, it recognizes that every experience generates valuable expansion.
The most empowering way to frame contrast is by acknowledging the clarity that was born from it. In this exercise, we will transform the data from our contrasting experiences into the clarity that naturally emerges from them.
Clarity is always born from contrast! Clearly identifying what you don’t want is an incredible launch point for recognizing what you do want. This clarity has already been achieved vibrationally—it’s simply time to bring it into conscious awareness.
While this process may not always be enjoyable, it is profoundly powerful. Facing contrast head-on and extracting clarity from it is an empowering way to liberate ourselves from thoughts that drain our mental energy and focus. All our creative power exists in the present moment, and we want to use it to propel us toward the life we choose rather than holding us apart from it.
Once this process is complete, you will feel free from thoughts that have been holding you back and empowered with clarity that will elevate your life to the next level.
Directions
Let’s stop avoiding our struggles and instead allow ourselves to acknowledge them fully. Think of this as a venting session where you release resistance by putting your feelings on paper—no need to hold back.
This is only to be used if you feel so overwhelmed by contrast on a subject that you feel like you don’t have access to clarity around it. Remember, you only have access to thought that’s in vibrational proximity to the thought that is currently dominating your mind!
Step 1: Print the 'Clarity From Contrast' Worksheet
Print this free worksheet. If you are using your own blank piece of paper, on the top left side of your paper write “Contrast” and on the top right side of your paper write “Clarity.”
Step 2: Acknowledge the Contrast
On the left side of the paper under “Contrast,” write down all aspects of your current reality that feel difficult, unclear, or frustrating. If you’re struggling, write about it! Be honest with yourself—this is a safe space to face your current circumstances head-on, even if they’re not the reality you ultimately desire. A good old-fashioned rant about what isn’t working can be a healthy exercise, especially when done with the intention of transforming it into the clarity that has already been born from it.
Use the following prompts to help identify the contrast you’ve experienced/your points of vibrational resistance. It is not important to answer every question. These are here simply to help stimulate thought and identify the root of your vibrational resistance.
PROMPTS:
- What am I currently struggling with?
- Is there anything about my current circumstances that I detest right now?
- Do I feel restricted or limited in any way? How?
- What experiences have I had recently that produce negative emotion when I think about them?
- Are there any unfavorable manifestations that I’ve repeatedly experienced regarding this subject?
*(Note: This is meant to be a private exercise. Verbally expressing contrasting experiences to others may reinforce negative momentum rather than help you move forward.)
Step 3: Recognize You Are Not Your Thoughts
It is crucial to remember that you are not your thoughts! Do not judge yourself for painful thoughts. Many of these are influenced by external perspectives that have been impressed upon you at different points in your life. Acknowledging them without attachment allows you to move through them with greater ease.
Step 4: Extract the Clarity
Be proud of yourself for being able to identify the contrast you’re experiencing! Now it’s time to shift to the right side of the paper under “Clarity.” This is where you ask yourself, “What is the exact opposite of each point of contrast I’ve written down?
Other Prompts:
- Since all contrast produces expansion, what did I expand into as a result?
- What is the clarity that was born from this experience?
- What do I now know that I truly desire in this area of my life?
For example, if you wrote under “Contrast” that you hate having to check your bank account every time you go grocery shopping, your “Clarity” might be:
- There is an abundant version of myself that has access to unlimited resources.
There is a steady and abundant flow of income that supports my desired lifestyle.
Step 5: Vibrationally Anchor in the Clarity
Take a moment to read through your clarity statements. Breathe them in. Acknowledge that this clarity already exists vibrationally and your work is just to line up with it. If you can, get into an attitude of gratitude for all of the contrast you’ve experienced and the person it has vibrationally expanded you into.
As you engage in this process regularly, you will notice a shift in perspective. The more you refine your clarity, the easier it becomes to align with thoughts that move you toward the life you choose.
