Hi Sirrah!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience here. Yes, that up-and-down roller coaster is common. I see it as a see-saw, kind of. Or a scale, which tips back and forth, before it finds balance. As you come into these higher levels of awareness you tap into that energy, then of course, because it IS very difficult to maintain when your system isn't clear of karma and inner child wounding and family karma and self-limiting beliefs, etc. you drop back down into shadow, but deeper, with a greater capacity to bring that light into the dark places. It's like the higher you go, the deeper you can go into the depths and shine light there to clear it out.

So, your system gets more accustomed to bearing that light and carrying it. And the clearer your system is, the more sustainably you're able to maintain higher vibrations, because you're a clearer channel for that energy. I hope this is making sense.

I think the peeling layers happen because it would be too taxing for the system if we tried to upgrade all at once. Like a hard drive that needs to shut down to reboot, we need times of rest/sleep/integration. If we tried to take it all on at once, it would be an overload. Our bodies are dense, and this energy is incredibly high vibrational. It just takes time to penetrate and clear away all that is in the way of that consistent connection.

As far as me, I spent about three years (from August 2020 to May 2023) in various cycles of clearing and energetic fine-tuning. Some of them were lengthier than others -- anywhere from months to weeks, to days. Some of them involved specific chakra blockages, that I could pinpoint and feel needed work, and I would consciously do that work. Other clearings were more emotional heaviness that I just needed to cry out or get on my yoga mat and move energy to clear out. Still others were upgrades I couldn't make sense of when I was in them, but I had to surrender to.

While I do feel, on the whole, that the past year has been more level energetically from day to day, I've still had occasional disruptions of that. What I'd say is that yes, your baseline vibration does get higher over time and yes, it does get easier and easier to bounce back to your baseline when something throws you into shadow. The process of seeing it and clearing it out becomes quicker and smoother.

I hope this is helpful! Sending love on your journey.<3
