Does Alcohol Lower Your Vibration?: EP 278

Hello , hello , hello , welcome back my beautiful souls to Manifesting Miracles . I'm your host , michelle Juanita Lamont , and today we're going to have a deep and intimate conversation . Today , we're going to have a deep and intimate conversation about something that I've been reflecting on for a long time Alcohol . Now , this isn't just going to be a casual chat .

This is about my personal journey with alcohol , how I went from drinking casually to drinking all day long , and how that habit affected my ability to manifest and stay in alignment with my highest self . What I want to share with you today , I want you to hear me . It's not about judgment or shaming anyone . I've been there .

I was drinking all day , every day , and I didn't even realize it was a problem at first . It was my routine , part of my new aesthetic . You know , according to Ms Swift that's the way she put it , I would agree A glass of wine with dinner , mimosa at brunch . It all felt so fucking normal .

But slowly , alcohol started taking over my life , and it wasn't until I hit a breaking point that I decided to quit completely cold turkey and start focusing in on my healing . And if you don't know where to start or how to move forward , just start focusing on yourself and only yourself . Alcohol can sneak into our life in ways that we don't even realize .

For me , it just started super cash . It was so social , literally happy hours , cocktails with friends , something to quote unquote , wind down after a long day . It felt so harmless , right . But what started as something occasionally quickly became my everyday norm and before I knew it , I was drinking all day long .

I was using alcohol as a crutch to cope with emotions I wasn't ready to deal with . I thought it was helping me , I thought it was normal , but as the days went by , I noticed something was off . My energy was low , my manifestations were stagnant and I wasn't really feeling like my true self .

It felt like I was out of alignment with everything that I wanted to create in my reality . So let's talk about why alcohol blocks you from manifesting , because I don't want you to be in judgment . I don't want you from manifesting because I don't want you to be in judgment , I don't want you to feel insecure , I don't want you to be angry at yourself .

I just want to open up a conversation . I want you to just put these things in somewhere in your mind and consider them . So I don't want to talk about anything that's going to shame you . I just want to explain some things to you . Why does manifesting and alcohol have a significant connection ? Because we're not just talking about how it feels .

I want to talk about the science . Alcohol directly affects your brain . What it does is it release bursts of dopamine , which feels so chemically good . But what follows is a crash . Your brain's dopamine levels drop and that's when you start to feel low . You feel drained and , for me , super anxious .

The crash lowers our vibrational state exactly the opposite of what we need to manifest . Think about it . Manifesting is what you hear it all the time on social media , everywhere you go . It's about staying in a high vibrational state , like when you're aligned with abundance , like when you're aligned with joy , like when you're aligned with clarity .

But alcohol messes with the balance . It impacts the frontal cortex of your brain , that area . It's responsible for decision-making and impulse control . That's why , when you're drunk , you're just going to call the ex , but normally you're like hell , no , that fucking low life , blah , blah , blah has got to go Right .

And so when we are literally , the frontal cortex is just like I can't think , I can't think . Then what are you doing ? You're not manifesting , you're not using your brain to make decisions and you're not having impulse control when you're meditating . This part of your brain , it also is totally responsible for emotions . That's why we get so emo .

So when alcohol impairs it , you're more likely to make decisions from a place of emotional instability . I've tried to explain this to so many people . Science backs it up , though . I've tried to explain this to so many people . Science backs it up , though . Science shows that alcohol impairs our brain's ability to manage stress and anxiety .

You think it's helping , but it's not . And while in reality , you might think that that glass of wine is going to help you , relax alcohol , what it does ? It decreases the production of gamma acid , amino burotic acid , what it is , what they call it , is GABA , g-a-b-a a neurotransmitter . What does that do ? That calms the nervous system .

So while you're drinking to relax , alcohol is actually stimulating long term anxiety . So when you're overthinking and you're overthinking and you're overthinking and you're overthinking and you're overthinking and you haven't even drank , but you drank all weekend . That's the GABA in your brain making it worse for you to deal with the shit I was drinking so much .

At the end I just didn't even realize it , like I was looking for people who were maybe going to have like a little colloid in their coffee , kind of girls . That's what I was looking for , because for me it really I thought it was like calming me down and giving me a sense of direction .

Unfortunately , it doesn't stop there , because alcohol is a diuretic , meaning it makes you lose fluid faster than you can take them in . You're literally so if you're outside at like a festival and you're drinking , you're doing so much harm . If you're outside drinking , it's a diuretic .

You don't understand what you're doing to your body and the older you get , the more that these organs are going to suffer . But not only that , it's your fucking energy . So you're not even going to have the energy to manifest . Okay , because when we're dehydrated , your body isn't just tired , it's not just your , it's not just your physicality .

When you're dehydrated , you're energetically depleted , tapped out . Hydration is so important to keep your energy flowing . Our chakras are aligned when we're flowing in an energy . That's why we're putting that into the water . Your vibration is high , but if you're running on empty , physically , your field of energy or your aura is going to be sluggish too .

It doesn't just impact that one situation , it's literally impacting everything and from a manifestation standpoint , this is major . Water is a conduit for energy . It helps our body channel and maintain that high vibration . If you've listened to episode 19 , dr Emoto's how to Manifest with Water , you know that everything is water . The planet is water .

Our bodies are water . All of our food is water . All of the sources need water . Everything is water . The planet is 80 something percent water . Our body is 87% water . Our mind is 92% water is 87% water .

Our mind is 92% water , and when you're dehydrated you're less motivated , more fatigued , and that affects our ability to focus on what you're trying to manifest . Without clarity and focus , how can you align with your desires ? It's literally an oxymoron . So let's talk about the spiritual impact , because this is where it gets really deep .

Alcohol doesn't just mess with your brain and your body , it literally creates a cloud between you and the universe . It's like it's like a big spiritual fog and it's just blocking your connection with your higher self .

When we drink , we lower our vibration and we make it so much harder to receive those divine downloads , those intuitive nudges that guide you towards the desires . Now , I've taken quite a few psychic coaching , classes , workshops and even gone to a psychic retreat , because when you're going down the spiritual rabbit hole you're consistently trying to expand .

Could I be psychic ? Could I be clairvoyant ? Could I be clairsentience ? Does tarot work for me ? Does crystals work for me ? Does intensive visualization work for me ? Is the 369 method going to be in it ? Is there Reiki ? Is it Tesla ? What is it ? Is it Dr Dwayne Dyer ? Is it Dr Joe Dispenza ? I mean , is it Dolores Cannon ? I mean , where does it end ?

Where does it end ? But when I was in psychic and multiple coaching psychic coaching , psychic camp , psychic retreats , they all had the same viewpoint no psychic I mean no psychic ever drinks alcohol . And they tell you before you go into these , whatever you're doing a retreat , a coaching session , whatever they say please don't drink 30 days before camp . 30 days .

Why , why , why , why , why , why ? Because alcohol dulls our intuitive abilities . It literally dulls them . It's like trying to hear the universe whisper to you but you're too busy with the static in the background . You can't receive clear guidance when your energetic field is clouded by alcohol . And there's something I want you to really understand .

Alcohol is often referred to as what Spirits ? It's literally on the signs . For a reason , in so many spiritual practices and traditions it's believed and this is like culturally around the world that alcohol opens you up to a lower vibrational energies . It's like why I stopped watching true crime .

I don't want to be a vibrational match to criminals and I don't want to think about my safety 24-7 , because then I'm going to be . I'm going to need something to prove that all the safety measures are required . So a crime has to be committed . You are creating your reality , my love , you're creating it .

So when you're watching the crimes , you're heightened intuitively that there are criminals . Therefore , you're looking for crime . Therefore , the universe isn't judging it like , oh , she wants to be protected from crime . No , you're thinking about criminals and how they're criminalizing . So you're going to be a vibrational match to it .

The reason that they're called spirits isn't to elevate your spirit . It's to motherfucking , lower your spirit . Do you think that the people that are in control , that are playing chess with our lives , the 5% who are actually buying the laws , buying the judges , buying the politicians , and whatever country . You're listening to this all the same .

Do you think that if this was so good for us and beneficial for us , there would be spirits and alcohol distribution places everywhere because it's so good for you ?

I did volunteer for a while in food banks doing food banks for children , and there's a thing called a food desert , and people have food insecurities , and a food desert is where there's a large community that doesn't have access to fresh fruit and vegetables , but you know what they fucking have Spirits , alcohol shops , cash , cash , et cetera stores .

Spirits , alcohol shops , cash , cash , et cetera , stores . You can buy cigarettes , you can buy alcohol , you can buy vapes everywhere , but you want a banana , you want some salad ? No , you're in a food desert .

But go ahead and drink the alcohol , because that's what we really want you to do , because if you drink the alcohol you're more likely to make a mistake , and if you make a mistake then we can incarcerate you and then we have free labor .

Hey , so go drink some more and then , and then , and then we're in relationships with alcohol , and hey , that's when we get preggo , and then we have to raise children with absentee fathers . We commit crimes , crimes against our soul , crimes against our spirit , crimes against ourselves and the general public .

All of this is going to disrupt your spiritual alignment , making it harder and harder and harder for you to stay in clarity , for you to stay in peace and for you to know and stay connected to your purpose . For me , it was a slow realization . I didn't wake up one day and decide to quit cold turkey .

It took time , but the more I noticed how off my energy was , how I wasn't manifesting the life I wanted , the more I realized that alcohol was the common thread . So I made a decision I quit that day cold turkey .

I threw myself into healing , I threw myself into meditation , I threw myself into shadow work , to journaling and to grounding myself with the earth and putting my face in the sun every single day . And you know what happened ? The fog lifted , my vibration started to rise and suddenly everything felt centered .

My manifestations literally started coming through quicker and my energy felt more and more aligned , like , like , like I was some version of myself I hadn't known in a long fucking time . And like me , who's tuned into the universe , it got stronger and stronger and more and more connective . And here are some of the real dangers . I wanted to touch on something .

If you're listening to this and you're thinking , michelle , I'm not drinking all day , I'm good , michelle , I'm not drinking all day , I'm good , I'm not an alcoholic , let me tell you I didn't think I was either . It started so small and it grew . The thing is , it's at a slippery slope and that's why I want to bring attention to this .

For you to be mindful , maybe you're having a drink before a meeting to calm your nerves , maybe it's after work to unwind . And then even you're saying , look , I'm fine to drive that one drink . You're drinking and driving yourself home . Look , I'm not here to judge and I'm

not here to shame , but I want you to think about this and ask yourself this one question . I want my voice in your head when you order your next drink how is alcohol really serving me ? How is alcohol really serving me ? How is alcohol really serving me ? How is alcohol really serving me ?

Because the longer you rely on it , the more it progresses and the harder it becomes to see the impact that it's having on your health , that it's having on the relationships with your children , with your coworkers with yourself and how it's impacting your ability to manifest an energy .

And if you feel like alcohol has a bigger hold on your life than you'd like to say babe , babe , my love . It's okay to ask for help . I did . There's no shame in going to a meeting , and there's always a meeting available somewhere Okay , aa meeting . It's okay to talk to your doctor or a doctor .

You can go get telehealth , because seeking support is important . Alcohol might feel like it's helping you in the moment , but I promise you the science doesn't check . We already talked about what it does to the brain , what it does to our body and what it does to our energy . But what about yourself ? Your face ?

You're going to age , you're going to look harder . You're going to get things on your face that you cannot do with surgery . You can't remove that stuff . I'm telling you right now . It's so accessible and it's everywhere to make it feel like it's normal , so you won't actually pursue and achieve your dreams .

All of these things are ways to stop all of the people who are enlightened and empowered to actually move forward . And if you want some guidance from me , let's do it . You can book a 30-minute session , you can book an hour session and you can book a 90-minute clarity session .

They're all recorded and in these sessions , we can dive deep on what's holding you back , whether it's alcohol , a relationship or something else , and you're going to work on raising your vibration so that you can manifest the life that you deserve .

So , now that you've listened to my I don't know my podcast on manifesting , I want to take a few moments to affirm those of us who are walking in a clarity a little bit higher because we put the bottle down , and for those of us who are wanting that peace and serenity , or to cut back significantly I'm talking to all of you or to cut back significantly ,

I'm talking to all of you . So let's take a moment and reaffirm these affirmations . I wrote a couple down that I used in the beginning . I went back and found my old journals , and here's one that I wrote down for myself . I wake up energized and refreshed . Let's try it again . I wake up energized and refreshed . One more time .

I wake up energized and refreshed . Now let's try another one . I am sober , not somber . I am sober , not somber . I am sober , not somber . Let's say it with meaning I am sober , not somber . Let's say it with meaning I am sober , not somber . Okay , my liver and energy are ready for everything the universe brings my way .

My liver and energy are ready for everything the universe brings my way . Now the last one . I'm in tune with my highest self and I'm ready to manifest with clarity and purpose . I'm in tune with my highest self and I'm ready to manifest with clarity and purpose . Do you feel that ? Do you feel it ? Do you feel it ? Do you feel it ? Do you feel it ?

That's your vibration rising . That's your vibration rising . That's you manifesting even more . That's your vibration rising . That's your vibration rising . That's you manifesting even more . That's your clarity returning . That's you stepping into your highest power . Okay , so , so , so what are we going to do about it ? So , what are we going to do now ?

Right , so what's next ? The benefits of removing alcohol are huge . You can gain so much clarity . Your energy feels lighter . You're able to tune into the higher vibrations where manifesting happens .

I'm not saying you have to quit drinking forever , babe , don't even put words into my mouth , but just imagine how much more you could manifest if the clear fog , if the I'm sorry if you're cleared the fog okay , I speak too fast sometimes . Imagine that you're driving down a clear road and then the first drink , it's medium light fog .

The second drink , medium fog . Over time you're always in the fog . How can you drive ? You put the headlights on , you're moving slower . You're looking around that's fucking alcohol .

And if you gave yourself the gift of clarity each and every day and you could wake up with intention and focus and you're somber , and you're , and you're , and you're sober , not somber what would happen ? Alcohol weighs your energy down . It keeps you in a lower vibrational state .

When you remove it , it's literally like all of a sudden you've passed through the fog and now you can see the whole road ahead of you . You can see everything . And when you remove it , you're raising your frequency . You're raising your frequency , you're raising your frequency and the universe responds to that .

Manifesting becomes quicker , it becomes easier and it becomes more powerful . And if you're ready to clear the fog and step into your highest vibrational state , I'm here to help . Whether you're looking to cut back on alcohol , align with your desires or just need guidance on your manifestation journey , I offer a 30-minute , a one-hour and 90-minute clarity sessions .

They're always recorded Together . Me and you will get to the root of what's really holding you back and I'm going to help you create a plan to raise your vibration and start manifesting the life you've always dreamed of . This isn't about judgment . If you feel judged right now , it's because there's probably a reason that you're attaching to the judgment .

What is it about me saying this that makes you feel judged ? It's about giving yourself the opportunity to live a life that you were meant to live , without the barriers and the blocks of other negative influences that might be putting in your way . Why would you pour fog into you ? Why would you pour fog into you ?

What do you think the benefit is when you're at a bar , three sheets in , and all those eyes are on you and all that energy is on you ? What do you think the people who are around you are looking to do ? Do you think they want to elevate you ? Do you think they're going to recommend books to you ? Do you think you're going to swap recipe stories ?

Do you think they're going to tell you the best yoga instructor in town ? Do you think they're talking about podcasts ? Do you think they're talking about increasing their money ? Do you think that they're talking about higher elevation ? Do you think that those people in those places are actually good , high vibrational people , or do you think they're dark elements ?

Do you think that there are people who are looking around and looking at you as the next fucking meal ? Maybe it's your credit card , maybe it's your body , maybe it's your energy . These are energy vampires . How do the spirits get into us if we don't invite them ?

Those are called spirit energies , and when we pour and open that and put it into ourselves , we are opening up ourselves to the frequency that is a lower vibrational . This isn't about judgment .

This is about giving yourself an opportunity to live the life that we were both , all of us were meant to live , and when you're not in those foggy dimensional states or other things , it lets you resonate . I stopped drinking in 2018 . And if this resonates with you , I'd love to work with you .

I would love to turn on my Zoom and see your beautiful , magnificent face on the other side . As we solve these things step by step , one by one , you are not going to find yourself in a better situation . Two or three drinks in and the thing isn't going to manifest faster when you can't even see the road , how to drive on it .

Let's clear the fog , let's raise your vibration and let's work together . Let's raise your vibration and let's work together . At the end of the day , my love , it's all about alignment . I really truly wish it makes me so emotional . I really truly wish that you could see your aura , that you could understand how fucking important and powerful you are .

You deserve to manifest everything your little heart desires , but the power comes from clarity , from being in tune with your higher self and maintaining a higher vibrational state . Alcohol creates a barrier between you and the power , but the beautiful thing is you .

You , the one in the mirror , the one driving the car , the one washing dishes , the one sitting in line waiting for the kid to pick up , the one working two jobs , the one saying how the fuck do I get into this higher dimension , michelle , you , you deserve everything and you have the ability right now to remove that barrier . And only you can do it .

Only you can say I'm going to get a mocktail Maybe . Only you can get a prescription for a medical license so you can garden , because no psychic ever says gardening is bad and nothing that comes from the earth in moderation could be . But that's not what alcohol is . It doesn't come that way .

And when you reclaim your clarity and when you reclaim your energy , you will also reclaim those manifesting abilities and be crystal clear and , trust me , when you do , the universe will respond in ways you can't even imagine . So let's choose clarity , yeah .

Let's choose high vibration , yeah , and let's choose alignment with our highest self , because baby , baby , baby , as L'Oreal says , you're worth it , babe , you are , and I only want you to see yourself in those high vibrational realities . I only want to see you just glowing and growing . What good is it if we can't enjoy all of you ?
