Align Your Energy First, Everything Else Follows

The Universe Meets You At The Frequency You choose To Live In

I used to believe that doing everything ‘right,’ following the rules and checking every box, would shape my life. But life flows in its own rhythm, and control is an illusion, and I learned something even more important: it’s not the steps I take that matter most; it’s the energy I bring.

✧ What “energy” really means

Energy isn’t just about “good vibes” or aesthetics.
It’s the unspoken part of you that people feel before you even say a word.

It’s your intuition.
Your presence.
That quiet knowing when you meet someone and instantly vibe with them…or don’t.

Energy is the part of you that senses, moves with, and responds to life in ways you can’t always explain, the quiet force behind your choices, feelings, and reactions. It’s always there, shaping your day-to-day, even when your mind doesn’t notice.

The way you act, the thoughts you focus on, the little habits you do quietly influence how you feel and flow through your day.

✧ How I work with energy

Energy work isn’t just spiritual; it’s practical. It’s the part of life that shifts when you shift.

For me, that looks like small rituals that help me feel like the highest version of myself. Because feeling is the key.

Research actually backs this up: our brains respond more to the emotion and feeling behind a thought than the thought itself. That’s why repeating affirmations, moving your body, or listening to frequencies can actually “trick” your mind into aligning with the energy you want to feel.

Some of the things that help me raise my vibration:

✨ Frequency music + subliminals — tuning my mind into the energy I want.
✨ Affirmations — speaking as the version of me who already has what I want.
✨ Movement — stretching, dancing, even a few minutes wakes stagnant energy.
✨ Whole, nourishing foods — eating alive food shifts how I feel physically and emotionally.

Everyone has their own way to sync with themselves. Maybe it’s prayer. Maybe it’s talking to ancestors, angels, or spirit guides. Maybe it’s journaling, moon rituals, or sitting quietly with your breath.

Whatever works for you, it’s all energy work — and you guide your own vibration.

(My Self-Love Challenge can be a gentle way to support this process.)

✧ The moment everything shifted for me

One day, I was sitting in my garden, feeling lost. Everything around me seemed heavy, and I felt like I was trying to row a boat in the middle of an ocean… but I didn’t know how to row. I was gripping the oars, fighting the current, anxious to get somewhere… anywhere… without realizing the ocean was already carrying me.

That’s what being out of alignment feels like — trying to force movement when the energy hasn’t been set yet.

Then I had a realization:
It’s above me! Truly above me.
I can’t control what happens outside of myself.
My only job is to be, to breathe, to flow like water.

That realization brought freedom. I understood that I don’t have to control everything, because life is already unfolding for me. As it says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you.”

Everything is already written, including the path, the lessons, and the growth, and even when I can’t see it, it’s working for my highest good. The divine has already gone before me, and life is moving in my favor. The only thing standing in the way of me meeting my highest potential is me.

✧ What it feels like when your energy is off

When my energy is off, everything feels heavier than it should.

I feel stuck in my head, overthinking every little thing.
Anxiety runs the show, keeping me unsettled and unsure.
I’m quick to anger, insecure, and constantly comparing myself to others.
I look for validation outside myself. I reach for distractions to escape reality.
I feel disconnected from myself and from the moment I’m standing in.
I react instead of respond.

It’s like trying to steer a boat in the dark, fighting the current even though the water is already carrying me somewhere better.

✧ What aligned energy feels like

When my energy is aligned, everything shifts.

I feel supported and guided, like the universe, Allah, God (I use these names interchangeably to describe the higher power I believe in) are working in my favor, along with my ancestors and the spirit guides who walk with me on my journey.
Clarity flows through me. Confusion fades.
Synchronicities show up everywhere, not because they suddenly appeared, but because I’m finally tuned in.

I move through my day with ease.
I trust myself more.
I notice the birds, the wind, the small magic happening around me.
I’m present, not worrying about the future or replaying the past.

Alignment feels soft. Clear. Confident, but not loud.
Nothing is forced. Everything clicks.
I feel grounded in who I am, not performing, not seeking validation.
I’m connected, calm, and flowing with life instead of fighting it.

Where focus goes, energy flows (Tony Robbins).
My focus is on becoming the best version of myself and living like my highest self, meaning the best life I can live in this lifetime.
My frequency rises, and everything around me rises with it.
Peace, opportunities, and the right experiences naturally find me.

✧ A moment when the universe spoke before I did

I remember sitting in the garden one afternoon, questioning everything.
I had followed the “right” path, college, work, doing everything I thought I was supposed to do, and still I felt empty, like life was happening around me instead of through me.

And then two butterflies appeared.
One red and black. One blue and black.
They didn’t rush or flutter past me. They circled, slow and calm and intentional, almost like they were delivering a message without saying a word.

“You’re okay. You’re on the path. Trust this part too.”

It felt like the universe reaching out before I could reach for anything myself.
A moment of alignment showing up before action.
A reminder that guidance doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes it comes quietly, in color, in movement, in signs that meet you exactly where you are.

✧ Why energy comes first

You can’t manifest from panic.
You can’t create from fear.
You can’t receive when you’re closed off.

Energy is the instruction.
Actions are just the echo.

When your energy is aligned, everything else falls into place.
Your mindset, your spirit, and your vibration lead the way.
Opportunities flow naturally, and your reality begins to shift.

Everything else follows.

With love,

Impera
