The Power of Mindset in Personal Growth  
Mindset is the foundation of transformation. It shapes how we navigate challenges, embrace opportunities, and ultimately create the life we desire. In a recent episode of *The Wild Sage Society* podcast, host Marcie Walker sat down with Alexis Nelson, founder of Latitude Wellness, an intuitive life coach, and Holy Fire 3 Reiki Master. Together, they explored the profound impact of energy healing, the importance of shifting limiting beliefs, and how personal growth often requires stepping into discomfort.

The Role of Intuition in Healing  

For many of us, personal growth starts with a nudge—a quiet whisper from within that urges us to explore something new. For Alexis Nelson, that whisper led her to become a Holy Fire 3 Reiki Master. She didn’t plan for it, but she trusted her intuition and took the leap.

This is a powerful lesson in following inner guidance. So often, we seek external validation or wait for the "perfect" plan before making decisions. But Alexis’ journey reminds us that sometimes, growth begins when we simply say yes to what feels aligned. Intuition is not about knowing all the answers upfront; it’s about trusting that the next step will reveal itself.  

 Energy Healing & Mindset Work: A Holistic Approach to Transformation  
Personal growth is more than just shifting your thoughts—it’s about addressing the whole self. Alexis integrates Reiki, sound therapy, and mindset coaching to create a holistic healing experience. Why? Because energy is stored in the body, not just the mind.

Our thoughts influence our emotions, and our emotions influence our energetic state. When limiting beliefs take hold, they don’t just affect our mindset; they manifest as tension, fatigue, or even illness. Energy healing works by releasing these energetic blocks, allowing for a deeper transformation beyond mindset shifts alone.

If you've ever tried affirmations or mindset work but still felt stuck, it may be time to explore healing on an energetic level. True transformation requires addressing both the conscious and unconscious aspects of ourselves.

 Breaking Through Fear & Limiting Beliefs  

Many people unknowingly operate from outdated programming. These beliefs—often formed in childhood—shape how we see ourselves, our potential, and what we believe is possible. Alexis emphasizes that self-awareness is the first step in breaking free from these unconscious patterns.

Ask yourself: *What narratives am I holding onto that no longer serve me?* *What fears are keeping me from stepping into my full potential?*  

One of the most powerful ways to shift limiting beliefs is through reframing. Instead of seeing fear as a stop sign, see it as a doorway to expansion. When fear arises, it often signals an opportunity for growth. Rather than avoiding discomfort, we can learn to move through it with awareness and self-compassion.

 The Power of Shadow Work  

Shadow work is the process of uncovering and integrating the hidden aspects of ourselves—the parts we've repressed or ignored. While this can feel uncomfortable, it is one of the most powerful tools for self-growth.

Alexis and Marcie discuss how shadow work allows us to reprogram outdated beliefs, break free from conditioned patterns, and cultivate self-trust. By facing our unconscious fears and wounds, we reclaim our power. Rather than being ruled by our shadows, we can integrate them into our personal growth journey.

As Marcie wisely states, *“Discomfort is the currency of growth.”* The more we lean into the work, the more we expand.

 The Importance of a Safe Healing Space  

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. Alexis highlights how crucial it is to create a safe space—both energetically and psychologically—where true transformation can take place. Whether through coaching, therapy, or self-guided practices, a healing container allows us to process emotions without judgment.

For those navigating personal growth, this means:  
✔ Setting boundaries that protect your energy  
✔ Seeking out spaces where you feel seen and supported  
✔ Creating daily rituals that foster emotional and mental well-being  

When we feel safe, we can fully surrender to the healing process and embrace growth with an open heart.

 Actionable Steps to Shift Your Mindset and Energy  

Ready to step into your next level of personal growth? Here are some practical steps inspired by this episode:

🔹 Self-Awareness Exercise – Pay attention to your recurring thoughts. Are they empowering or limiting? Start practicing discernment by questioning whether these thoughts support your highest potential.

🔹 Create a Healing Container – Journaling, meditation, and working with a coach or healer can help you process emotions and shift limiting beliefs in a safe space.

🔹 Explore Energy Work – Experience the benefits of Reiki, sound baths, or other energy-based healing practices to release stagnant energy and reconnect with your intuition.

 Final Thoughts: Your Mindset Shapes Your Reality  
As Alexis beautifully puts it, *“Clarity starts with awareness, but alignment comes from trusting yourself.”* Personal growth is not about reaching a final destination—it’s about continuously evolving, trusting the process, and embracing each step of the journey.

The way you think influences the way you live. If your thoughts create your reality, the question to ask yourself is: *What am I choosing to think today?*
