Weekly Digest: Transmutation
Plus: Manifestation Advice
Hi Readers! This week, I’ve been deep in thought, reflecting on the books and ideas that have shaped me. From all that reflection, I’ve pulled out two powerful ideas I want to share with you.
Honestly, these are the kinds of things I wish someone had told me when I was younger. They would’ve saved me from a lot of trouble and confusion.
So I hope you enjoy this edition and walk away with something meaningful.
TODAY’S TOPICS
1. Transmute emotions
2. State of Being
Quotes to Mediate On
“Stop thinking, and end your problems” - Taoism

"you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor" - Stoicism
Transmute Emotions
Behind every emotion lies energy.
Every feeling, whether it’s a burst of joy or a wave of frustration is powered by energy moving through your body. Big or small, loud or quiet, every emotion is a ripple in your inner ocean.
Throughout the day, this energy crashes into you like waves onto the shore—sometimes soft and subtle, other times intense and overwhelming.
Now stop and really think about that:
There is an abundance of energy constantly moving through you. Most people don’t notice it. They get caught up in the emotion itself—sadness, anger, anxiety—without realizing what it truly is: the flow of energy.
When an emotion confronts you, pause. Instead of reacting, feel the energy underneath it. Don't label it or resist it. Just observe it. Let it move through you.
Then…..choose what to do with it.
Visualize this energy as something you can shape and redirect. Push it toward your goals. Use it to fuel a workout, to speak your truth, or to create something meaningful.
Soon enough, you’ll become limitless because you’ll realize that the very emotions that once made you suffer, that kept you anguishing in bed, are actually powerful instruments for your growth and happiness.
The State of Being
I’ve been diving into manifestation content.
I found that one major idea that manifestation gurus emphasize is this:
Feel like you already have what you desire.
Choose being over chasing.
And honestly, that clicked something in me.
Because this state of “being” isn’t some magical thing.
It’s actually a state of mind we all experience.
We all access it from time to time when we’re relaxed, calm, and our mind is quiet. In those moments, people seem more drawn to us. Things flow. Opportunities arise without struggle.
But for most of us, this state doesn’t come on demand.
Luckily, I’ve learned a technique recently that helps you access this “state of being” on command.
