How to expand your state of being
When you are stressed or feeling lower vibration emotions, you are in a contracted state of being. You become your expanded self when you feel alive and vibrant. Find out more about your Contracted Self vs Expanded Self and how you can raise your state of being.
Let's look at Dr David Hawkins' Scale of Consciousness because what he illuminated was that different emotions have a corresponding energy associated with them. The scale includes from lowest vibration to highest vibration as follows:
- Shame
- Guilt
- Apathy
- Grief
- Fear
- Desire
- Anger
- Pride
- Courage
- Neutrality
- Willingness
- Acceptance
- Reason
- Love
- Joy
- Peace
Dr Hawkins' scale demonstrates there are lower states of consciousness vs higher states of consciousness.
What does your Contracted Self look like?
It is when you are setting up limits for yourself, experiencing lower vibration emotions such as those listed above and living in lack.
You might be saying or thinking things such as:
- I’m doing all these things or taking all these actions but I’m not manifesting or nothing is shifting in my reality
- I doubt my abilities
- I don’t feel confident to step forward into the unknown
- I feel hopeless to change my situation
- I don’t have enough money or resources to take action or make my dreams come true.
Stress is also a contracted state of awareness because you are allowing stress to keep you playing small or limited in some way.

Squint your eyes, notice how squinting your eyes limits your sight. Notice when you feel cold and your body contracts, you might cross your arms or curl up into a ball to try to get warm. When you are stressed, your body contracts as well.
These are examples of how your contracted self can show up and gives you a sense of contraction.
Ask yourself:
- Can you see that when you are in a contracted state of being that this limits your reality and possibilities?
- Can you see how from this state you can create a prison of your own making?
What does your Expanded Self look like?
When you operate from higher vibration emotions such as love, joy and peace and you notice abundance all around you with infinite possibilities available to you.
Your expanded self wants to make choices for the highest good, in this state you might say or think things like:
- I feel I can do or achieve anything in my life, it’s just applying some dedication to something
- I might not see anything change in my physical reality, however, I know that I’m operating from an expanded view of my life from within and by doing these things I'm learning and growing
- I feel 10 feet tall and can walk with confidence because I understand who I truly am
- I flow through life and in the present moment I respond to choices that are aligned with my intentions
- I am not wanting or needing, I am being and relating to the world around me.
Open your eyes wide and look up and down and to your left and right. Stand tall with your arms open wide and your feet wide apart.
These are examples of how your expanded self can show up and give you a sense of expansion in your life.
Ask yourself:
- Can you see how your expanded self is limitless?
- Can you sense how more opportunities are available when you live from this place?
How can you expand your state of being?
It can be challenging to feel higher states of consciousness and emotions when you've been in a contracted state of being. It's necessary to align your energy so that you can embody these higher emotional states of unconditional love, joy and peace. These higher emotional states are positive and have increased frequency. When you create your day from this expanded state, you feel better and attract more positivity into your life.
