Moving into the 5th Dimension with Catherine Keattch

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined once again by creator of vibrational essences, essence practitioner, energy healer, spiritual explorer and co-director at Crystal Herbs Ltd, the incredible Catherine Keattch. In this episode we discuss the notion that whether we like it or not, we are, on a global and personal level, beginning to move towards a process of deep change. Catherine explains the changes that will occur as the earth enters this new phase of expansion, moving us collectively out of the disconnected dysfunctional patterning of the 3rd dimension to the higher consciousness of the 5th, and what that means for us in our day to day lives. We also explore how the vibrational frequency of fear is used to control people, and how our true personal power lies in choice. So please join me as look at life through a different lens.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Catherine explains that humanity is experiencing a shift from third-dimensional polarity consciousness (right/wrong, conflict-based) to fifth-dimensional unity consciousness, marking the largest expansion of human awareness in recent history. She emphasises that personal power lies in choice rather than control, the need for control is rooted in fear, which operates at a specific vibrational frequency often used to manipulate collective behaviour. True lasting change comes from inner transformation and heart connection, not external resolutions. Catherine stresses this requires acknowledging and releasing old patterns, beliefs, and programming that no longer serve us. Catherine observes that the universe responds exactly to the vibrational frequency we emit. She explains that if we hold thoughts of lack or unworthiness, we'll continue creating those experiences until we consciously change our internal programming. Current global chaos is a symptom of old systems and beliefs breaking down as humanity transitions to a higher frequency. Catherine says this process requires individual inner work rather than waiting for external change. She teaches that emotional pain and defensive patterns must be acknowledged and released for transformation to happen. This process is simple but not easy, requiring us to face stored trauma and limiting beliefs. Personal transformation requires grounding in self rather than external reference points, using heart based wisdom instead of relying solely on the limited perspective of the everyday mind. BEST MOMENTS   "If you wanted to control people or humanity, all you've got to do is vibrate something in the world that vibrates at fear. And if you're not conscious of what's happening, it sets off your fear and you contract down into this place of fear and then you're controllable."  "If you're holding onto a thought form that says I'm not good enough or I can't do it, that's what you're creating all the time. The universe is absolutely exact." "Your everyday mind does not have the capacity or the data bank to be able to understand all of what that bigger picture is, it hasn't got the information your heart has."  "We've been programmed to seek our information from the everyday mind and the outside rather than turning inside and feeling it in our heart and in our gut." "I think people are so wedded to the old because the old is familiar and because the old is safe."     ABOUT THE GUEST   Catherine Keattch is a creator of vibrational essences, an essence practitioner, energy healer, teacher, spiritual explorer, and workshop leader.
