Read on for a cute li’l exercise designed to help you achieve maximum freshness, work your intuitive muscles, and help you manifest with integrity and ease.
Balloon Pops help develop compassionate detachment, release obsolete patterns, and strengthen relationships with our cosmic crews by alerting them to rally around our intentional creations and be on the lookout for maximum results.
Imagine you want a new car. A Mazda Miata, let’s say. You’ve been dreaming about this ride for months – the exact model and color – why, you even have a name picked out! (It’s Monica.) Visions of your adventures with Monica are dancing so hard you don’t realize that your spirit squad is trying to bring you a Jaguar named Moesha, who’s even more well-suited to your needs. Your grip on the idea of Monica is so snug that your crew has difficulty finding a point of entry. They’re trying to get in this way and that, but they can’t breach your desirous defenses.
See, our “More! New! Bigger! Faster!” culture trains us to hyperfocus on obtaining/earning/achieving so much that we forget about making space for it, like shoving new clothes into a closet packed with ‘fits of the past. Making the balloon is an exercise in energetic co-creation while unmaking it acknowledges that everything has a conclusion.
Let’s get into it, yuh?
- Imagine (create) a balloon. Experience as much detail as possible; get super clear on its size, shape, color, etc. If you’re feeling sturdy, you can fill the balloon with stuff you want to alter or even make a facsimile of whatever concept you’re working with, e.g., have financial issues, “make” a pile of money, then set it on fire.
- Pop (disintegrate) that joker and watch it disappear completely. Erase any stubborn balloon bits.
- Repeat as necessary.
Cultivating a relationship with this tool can also help you avoid unwitting disintegration (e.g., fender benders or closet leaks) or having your new hotness replicating aspects of the old (uncannily similar stains or damage to your new threads). Its usefulness is also not limited to material items. You can pop balloons to help change habits, release attachments to people or events, and call in new thought patterns. Cause we have to get rid of old shit to call in hot shit.
