In this episode of the Awakening Conversations podcast, Kate and Amanda explore the power of choice in shaping our consciousness—especially in uncertain and heavy times. They discuss how many people today feel trapped in fear, hopelessness, and despair, yet the truth is that we each have the power to choose a different reality by shifting our awareness.
Drawing on David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness and the principles of letting go, they break down how we can release limiting beliefs, reframe fear, and align with higher vibrational states like love, peace, and joy. Through personal experiences and practical insights, they show that awakening is about recognizing our patterns, letting go of what no longer serves us, and actively choosing how we engage with the world.
This conversation is an invitation to step out of fear-based narratives and into a conscious, empowered way of being—one that radiates love, gratitude, and inner peace, no matter what’s happening externally.
✅ Your Consciousness is a Choice – No matter what’s happening around you, you always have the power to choose the frequency you align with.
✅ Fear & Hopelessness Are Not Permanent States – They are energetic patterns that can be shifted with awareness and intention.
✅ The Map of Consciousness Shows the Way – David Hawkins’ work reveals how we can move from lower vibrational states (fear, shame, anger) to higher ones (love, peace, enlightenment).
✅ Letting Go Frees Us – Instead of suppressing emotions, we must acknowledge, feel, and release them to create space for healing and transformation.
✅ Your Energy Creates a Ripple Effect – The frequency you hold impacts others—choosing peace and love raises the collective consciousness.
✅ We Must Be Aware of the Fear Matrix – The world bombards us with fear-based narratives, but we can choose to step out of them.
✅ Inner Work is the Key to Outer Change – Healing our inner child, shifting limiting beliefs, and practicing self-awareness allows us to move beyond fear.
✅ Gratitude Transforms Everything – Even in difficult times, shifting our focus to what we appreciate raises our vibration.
✅ Happiness is in the Present Moment – Not in the future, not in external circumstances, but in our awareness and choice right now.
✅ Your Attention is Your Power – What you focus on grows. Are you feeding fear or expanding love?
This episode is a wake-up call to reclaim your power, break free from limiting states, and actively choose a reality aligned with love, peace, and inner freedom.
