Has it ever happened to you that once you start becoming conscious of your thoughts and feelings, all hell suddenly breaks loose in your physical reality? (Yikes, right?) Despite repeating the positive affirmations or doing daily meditations and visualizations, your reality goes from bad to worse, and that’s when you begin to seriously question if the law of assumption and other teachings of reality creation are a complete bs (I get it, believe me, so no judgment here!).
This fabulous experience is known as the “Purge,” or, in simpler terms, the “Transition” period. It is the transition of your frequency and emotions from one state to another. You can also look at this as a shift in your dominant vibration, and just like any other shift or change in your life, this one can get pretty darn overwhelming!
Before we move on to understand ways to deal with this period, let’s first understand its significance in your life and your manifestational endeavors.
Why Is There a Need for a Purge or a Transition Period in Manifesting?
Every thought, emotion, and feeling that we experience, not only impacts our mood but our body as well. Over time, when we keep on feeling the same quality of emotions, they become imprinted in our cellular memory, and that is why just thinking new or positive thoughts usually doesn’t work for us at first.
Have you seen a canvas with colors splattered all over its fabric? That’s how our mind takes the color of our emotional states. This also means that if you want to focus on new emotions to manifest new things in your life, you will first have to clean out the canvas as much as possible!
The act of cleansing out the old thought patterns is called the Purge. The Transition.
So as much as I hate to say it, it does exist… BUT it definitely doesn’t last forever and it may be one of the best ways to calibrate your vibration for a new reality!
How Long Does It Last?
I believe that largely depends on YOUR personal expectations, self-concept, and fears. For example, if you are already skeptical about the efficacy of manifesting, then the transition period, unfortunately, has the power to completely throw you off track. Not only will it affect your belief, but it can also make you feel discouraged about taking charge of your life. However, if you are a firm believer that manifesting works, it can last only a few days, and pretty soon, you will be fully aligned with your desired reality.
What To Do To Minimize It?
The transition period is a very natural process, and you shouldn’t seek to completely eliminate it if you want to get really good at manifesting in the long run. However, there are still a few powerful ways to shorten the Purge or Transition period:
Take Your Focus Off the 3D While Persisting in Your Belief
The 3D is your current reality, and if you are going through a transitional period, your 3D might not represent the ideal life. So, it’s best to take your focus off it for a while (which, I realize, is much easier said than done) and instead, stay conscious of your INNER world. You must stay faithful to the reality you desire. Visualize it, think about it, and daydream about it until you feel butterflies in your stomach. Keep affirming that it’s on your way to you right now and will be there super soon!
Use Revision
Revision is a very powerful tool that Neville was always a big proponent of. As soon as you start experiencing the reality that is not to your liking, REVISE. Imagine the event turning out exactly as you would have liked for it to happen instead of your negative 3D experience. Revision can truly do wonders when done consistently and correctly. In fact, it’s a great practice to take time every day to revise anything that didn’t go your way right before sleep, and you bet it will help speed up the purge period.
Do Not Give Up
Most importantly, please DO NOT give up!! Please remember that this is only temporary. Think of this period as the Universe’s way of testing you to see how much you truly want this desire and how persistent you are willing to be. Please remember that just because you are not seeing any movement in your 3D or you’re seeing the opposite of what you’d like, literally doesn’t mean ANYTHING other than the meaning you assign to the situation! You could be so unbelievably close to manifesting your desires, but there is only one way to find out–by having faith in the unseen reality and persisting in your belief!
My intention for whoever is reading these words right now is that you get everything you want and more, because you are an amazing powerful master manifestor who has the potential to completely change their 3D in whatever way makes you happy!
Persist, persist, persist! Persisting won’t cost you anything and could be the only thing standing between you and your manifestation! You’ve got this!!
