Living with the Energy of Negativity While Denying It: A Path to Awareness and Transformation

www.lifeinsynergy.com helps to smooth out the speed bumps of life

We all encounter moments where life’s challenges feel heavier than they should, where negativity seems to loom over every step we take.

Whether it’s from personal circumstances, the pressures of society, or even our own self-critical thoughts, negativity can subtly creep into our lives and take root, sometimes without us even realizing it. But what happens when we live with this energy of negativity and deny its presence? What does it mean to unknowingly give negativity power, while claiming we are unaffected?

The Silent Companion: Unseen, Unacknowledged Negativity

Negativity, when not addressed, can become like an unwanted guest that lingers in your space. You tell yourself you're fine, that it's just a phase, that the problem is external, but internally, this energy chips away at your sense of peace. Often, we deny the presence of negativity because it’s uncomfortable to face. We’ve been taught to “stay positive,” to focus on the good. But in this culture of forced optimism, we forget that acknowledging negative emotions and energy is part of the healing process.

At Life in Synergy, we believe that true awareness begins with recognition and responsibility. Denying negativity doesn't make it go away. In fact, denial is often a way of feeding the very energy you’re trying to escape from. Without acknowledgment, it can manifest in various forms — stress, anxiety, tension in relationships, or even physical discomfort.

The Illusion of Control

When we refuse to acknowledge negativity, we often feel that we are in control. We convince ourselves that we are above those emotions, that positivity is the only answer. But this is where the illusion lies. By denying negative energy, we are not controlling it; we are allowing it to control us from the shadows. This avoidance may show up as resistance to self-reflection or even a defensiveness when others suggest we might need to address something within ourselves. It may appear as constant busyness, as if productivity can keep negativity at bay. But that feeling of unease, the tightness in your chest, or the sleepless nights? That’s negativity tapping on your shoulder, asking for attention.

The Power of Acceptance

The key to transforming negative energy lies in acceptance. Acceptance doesn’t mean surrendering to it or wallowing in it. Rather, it means recognizing it as a part of your experience. When you acknowledge negativity, you create space for it to be transformed into something that serves you. This process is not about blame or judgment — it’s about observation and understanding.

Helena Collins, the multi award winning creator of the Apex Life in Synergy program, often speaks about the power of self-awareness in overcoming life's challenges. She encourages us to explore the root causes of our emotions.

Are they karmic patterns?

Are they inherited from family dynamics?

Or are they societal expectations that you’ve unconsciously absorbed?

Through the tools offered in her program, you can begin to recognize how deeply ingrained negative energy may be, and more importantly, how you can shift it.

Transforming Negativity into Fuel for Growth

Once you acknowledge negativity, you can begin to work with it. Instead of denying it or pushing it away, try asking: "What is this energy here to teach me?" This simple question can shift your perspective from resistance to curiosity. When we view negativity as a teacher rather than an enemy, we open ourselves up to learning and transformation.

The Apex Life in Synergy program’s approach to this transformation is multi-faceted, addressing both the energetic and physical aspects of negative emotions. It combines ancient wisdom with modern practices, helping you to clear your energy fields and release the hold that unacknowledged negativity can have. Through SFM, breath work, meditation, and deep reflective subconscious tools, you can realign with your true self — a self that thrives beyond the limitations of negative energy.

Moving Forward with Awareness

Living with negativity while denying it creates a dissonance within. It's like driving a car with the parking brake on — you're moving, but not freely. The first step toward freedom is recognizing the energy you're carrying. Once you're aware of it, you can begin to unravel it, transform it, and eventually, release it. It’s not about never experiencing negativity — that’s impossible. Life will always present challenges, but how you respond to them determines your path. By embracing both the light and the shadow, you move closer to a state of harmony within yourself.

At Life in Synergy, we guide you through this journey of self-awareness and transformation. With the tools and insights from Helena Collins’ Apex Life in Synergy program, you’ll find that even the heaviest of negative energies can become a source of profound growth. All it takes is the courage to stop denying and start acknowledging — and from there, your life can shift in ways you never imagined.

Discovering the Energetic Depths of Your Emotions: A Pathway to Self-Awareness

Emotions are the invisible threads that weave the tapestry of our lives.

They guide our reactions, shape our experiences, and often, without our conscious awareness, steer us down paths that might not always serve our highest good. Yet, how often do we pause to truly understand the nature of these emotions? How frequently do we take a step back to observe the patterns they create, the triggers they ignite, and the consequences they bring into our lives? In a world that often encourages us to suppress or ignore our emotional landscapes, the journey to self-discovery begins with embracing and exploring these feelings.

Emotions are not the enemy—they are signals, invitations to delve deeper into the intricacies of our being.

Imagine this: you’re driving through life on autopilot, responding to the same situations in the same ways, over and over again. Maybe it’s the frustration you feel when a loved one doesn’t listen, or the sadness that creeps in when you’re alone. These emotional patterns are more than just reactions—they’re keys to understanding the core beliefs and experiences that shape your reality.

The journey of self-discovery requires courage. It asks you to face those parts of yourself that you’ve tucked away, the feelings you’ve deemed too painful to confront. But within this exploration lies the potential for profound healing. By acknowledging and understanding your emotions, you begin to break free from the cycles that no longer serve you. You start to recognize the power of choice—the ability to respond differently, to create new patterns that align with the life you truly desire.

The Clouded Mind: Perception, Reality, and the Eternal Cycle of Mistakes

Helena Collins shows you how to open up to the cosmos

In the delicate dance of life, our minds serve as the prism through which we perceive and interpret our reality.

This prism, however, is not always crystal clear. Often, it is clouded by a myriad of factors—emotions, past experiences, societal conditioning, and subconscious patterns. When our perception is clouded, our reality becomes distorted, leading us to recreate the same mistakes over and over, perpetuating a cycle that can span lifetimes and echo through the corridors of history. A clouded mind is like a fogged-up mirror. When we look into it, the reflection is hazy, and our understanding of ourselves and our surroundings becomes skewed. This cloudiness can arise from various sources:

1. Emotional Turbulence: Intense emotions, whether they be fear, anger, or sadness, can cloud our judgment. In the grip of strong emotions, we often react impulsively, making decisions that are not in alignment with our true selves.

2. Past Experiences: Traumas and unresolved issues from the past can linger in our subconscious, influencing our current thoughts and actions. These unresolved issues act as filters through which we view new experiences, often leading us to misinterpret situations and repeat past mistakes.

3. Societal Conditioning: From a young age, we are bombarded with religious beliefs, societal norms and expectations. These external influences shape our beliefs and perceptions, often leading us away from discovering our own beliefs and authentic selves and towards actions that do not serve our highest good.

4. Subconscious Patterns: Our subconscious mind is a powerful force, driving much of our behavior without our conscious awareness. Patterns ingrained in the subconscious, often from early childhood, can lead us to repeat the same mistakes, even when we consciously desire change.

When our minds are clouded, our perception of reality is distorted. We might see threats where there are none, interpret kindness as manipulation, or view opportunities as risks. This distorted perception influences our actions, leading us to make decisions that reinforce the cloudiness of our mind. For instance, someone who has experienced betrayal may develop a distorted view of relationships, seeing potential partners as untrustworthy. This perception can lead them to sabotage relationships, thereby reinforcing their belief in the untrustworthiness of others. The cycle continues, as each new experience is filtered through the same clouded lens, leading to the same outcomes.

Throughout history, this pattern of clouded perception leading to repeated mistakes has played out on both personal and collective levels. Societies have risen and fallen, often making the same errors in judgment that their predecessors did. Wars are fought over the same misunderstandings, and civilizations crumble under the weight of repeated missteps. On a personal level, individuals find themselves trapped in cycles of behavior that they cannot seem to break. Whether it’s choosing the wrong partners, engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors, or perpetuating limiting beliefs, the clouded mind keeps us bound to our mistakes.

Ending the pattern

To break free from this cycle, we must first clear the fog from our minds. This requires a journey inward, towards self-awareness and healing. Here are some steps to begin this journey:

1. Mindfulness and Meditation: By practicing mindfulness and meditation with the Apex Life in Synergy program, we can become more aware of our thoughts and emotions. This awareness allows us to observe our patterns without judgment and begin to understand their roots.

2. Healing Past Wounds: Confronting and healing past traumas is crucial to clearing the cloudiness of the mind. This may involve therapy, energy healing, or other modalities that resonate with us.

3. Challenging Societal Norms: Questioning and redefining the societal norms that have shaped our beliefs can help us align more closely with our true selves.

4. Reprogramming the Subconscious: Techniques such as Apex Life in Synergy can help the subconscious mind, replacing limiting beliefs with new, vibrant empowering ones.

5. Cultivating Emotional Intelligence: Developing emotional intelligence allows us to navigate our emotions more effectively, preventing them from clouding our judgment.

The journey to clear the mind and alter our perception of reality is not an easy one, but it is a path worth walking. As we clear the fog, our true reality begins to emerge—a reality where we are empowered to make choices that serve our highest good. By breaking free from the cycle of repeated mistakes, we can create a life of harmony, growth, and fulfillment. In doing so, we not only transform our own lives but contribute to the collective evolution of humanity, breaking the chains of history and stepping into a future of infinite possibilities.

Breaking Free and Rediscovering Yourself: The Journey of Transformation

In the quest for personal transformation, we often dream of shedding our past selves like an old skin, hoping to emerge refreshed, renewed, and vibrant.

Yet, the journey towards this renewal is seldom a straight path. It is fraught with challenges that test our resolve, our self-esteem, and our deepest beliefs about who we are and who we can be.

The following story of one of our old clients, whom we'll call "Lily," at Life in Synergy perfectly illustrates this complex dance of transformation. In the late 1990s, Lily came to us at our former brick and mortar studio on Newbury Street in Boston with a goal that resonates with many: she wanted to lose weight. But beneath her initial goal was a deeper, more profound aspiration—to rediscover herself and break free from the clutches of her accepted old habits and self-perceptions. With determination and endless support , Lily embarked on her journey with us. Months of dedication and hard work paid off. Lily not only met her weight loss goal at Life in Synergy but exceeded it. With My multi award winning Synergistics Fitness Method®, she sculpted a new amazing version of herself that she had only imagined in her dreams.

However, this new reflection in the mirror, though celebrated by many, felt alien to Lily’s family.

The transformation was so significant that she found herself struggling to reconcile her new physical state with her old internal identity. As Lily adapted to her new self, the positive reactions from those around her began to pour in. Her family, accustomed to the old Lily ( and her feelings of insecurity) however expressed their concerns. They suggested she was "too skinny," echoing their discomfort with the unfamiliar change. Despite her achievements, the pressure to revert to her former self intensified, feeding into Lily's insecurities and fears. The tug-of-war between her new self and the comforting familiarity of her old identity became too much to bear. Eventually, Lily succumbed to these pressures began to miss many of her appointments, and gradually returned to her old patterns that her family desired and she quit coming to the studio and regained the weight she had fought so hard to lose.

Lily’s story is a powerful parable about the human struggle with change.

It underscores a profound truth: letting go of who we were is terrifying, even when we desire nothing more than to evolve. Our past selves, with all their flaws and comforts, often provide a confusing sense of identity and belonging. The challenge, then, is not merely in shedding the physical or behavioral traits but in redefining who we are in the eyes of our communities (family, friends, co-workers, etc) and, most importantly, in our own hearts. The parable of Lily teaches us that the journey to self-transformation is as much about building resilience against external pressures as it is about changing ourselves, for ourselves. It highlights the necessity of a supportive environment that nurtures our new selves without alienating us from our roots. True transformation requires a synergy of self-belief, community support, and a deep, unwavering faith in our ability to change the course of our lives.

For those of us on a path of personal transformation, let Lily's story be a reminder: hold onto your vision with compassion for your past selves, and step forward with courage, even when the road of your life twists unexpectedly and may be influenced by the poor driving instructions of outside sources. Remember, every version of you has contributed to who you are today and will become tomorrow. Lily’s case of “family override” made me go deeper into discovery of pattern energies back in 2001 and for the past 23 years, I have been perfecting the facets of ascension power and levels of release and now have them all available in my online program Apex Life in Synergy.

Embrace your journey, knowing that each step, forward or backward, is a part of your unique path to discovering your truest self and discover how to unlock and trust your your voice to create your reality.
