Rejection: Learning to Repair the Damage

Originally written in 2011 | Revisited through Conscious Synergy in 2025

By Robbyn Raquel Wallace

Reflections from the Path (Intro Note)

Fourteen years ago, I wrote the original version of this piece in the raw aftermath of a rejection that shook me. I didn’t know then that I was laying the first bricks on a path that would become the foundation of Conscious Synergy. Revisiting this now, I see just how far the journey has taken me—not away from the wound, but deeper into its wisdom.

The Wound as Portal

There was a time in my life when rejection felt like annihilation. Not just a dismissal of an idea or a misalignment in paths, but a soul-deep rupture that cracked open all my inner fault lines. I didn’t know it then, but I was being invited—over and over—into the sacred work of repair.

Back then, I didn’t yet have the language of energy or alignment. I didn’t yet understand that what I was feeling wasn’t just emotional pain—it was a vibrational dissonance. The withdrawal of someone’s presence or affection would send me spiraling, because I hadn’t yet anchored in the truth of my own worth.

“Rejection wasn’t just hurt feelings—it was stored frequency.”

Rejection activated old imprints—abandonment, unworthiness, fear—and I let it harden into shame. I absorbed it, made it mean something absolute about me, and allowed it to shape my self-perception.

Listening to the Field

Eventually, something began to shift. I started listening. Not to the noise of others’ opinions or the echo of past betrayals, but to my own energy field.

I learned to pause. To stay with the discomfort without letting it define me. To interrupt the story of “I’m not good enough” with grounded tools rooted in conscious awareness and energetic coherence.

One of those tools is the ABCDEF process, which I now teach as part of the Conscious Synergy framework. It’s a practice that walks us through layers of awareness:

• Awareness: What’s the story I’m telling myself?
  
  
• Body: What sensations are present?
  
  
• Connection: Can I hold space for the part of me that hurts?
  
  
• Discernment: Is this really about now, or is it echoing something old?
  
  
• Energy: Where am I vibrating? How can I shift toward coherence?
  
  
• Forgiveness: Can I let go—not for them, but to reclaim my wholeness?
  
  

“Forgiveness isn’t weakness. It’s energy reclamation.”

Frequency as Foundation

This model didn’t just help me reframe rejection. It helped me re-code my responses and recognize my own agency within the energetic field.

I began practicing frequency shifts after painful moments—using breath, sound, stillness, or movement to recalibrate. These weren’t just coping tools. They became daily acts of energetic sovereignty.

And I came to understand something essential:

“My vibration is not determined by others’ approval—

it is attuned by my alignment to truth.”

Synergy Through Alchemy

Yes, rejection still stings. I’m still human. I still cry sometimes, or retreat. But now I see those responses as energetic data rather than personal failures. I’ve learned to alchemize the wound into wisdom.

We live in a world wired for performance and external validation. But when we reclaim our energetic field—when we learn to feel, discern, and shift consciously—we build the muscle of true inner synergy.

We don’t bypass the pain.

We transmute it.

“The repair was never about going back to who I was.

It was about becoming who I really am.”

The Paradox of One: Understanding Non-Duality in a Divided World

Explorations in Consciousness: Pathways to Collective Awakening | Part 1 

Conscious Living 

We were taught to divide.

From the earliest days, we learned to label—good and bad, success and failure, self and other. We built entire worlds around these dualities, believing they made life manageable, measurable, and meaningful. But in doing so, we may have lost something essential: the remembrance that, beneath it all, there is only One.

Non-duality—or Advaita in Sanskrit—means “not two.” It is not a belief, but a perception shift. A remembering. A lived experience that transcends polarity and invites us into the mystery of wholeness. In a time when division dominates the external world and internal narratives, non-duality isn’t just a philosophy—it’s an invitation home.

What Is Non-Duality?

At its essence, non-duality points to the truth that everything is interconnected and that the apparent separations we experience—between people, ideas, identities—are ultimately illusory. This teaching echoes through many mystical traditions:

• Advaita Vedanta speaks of the self (Atman) being one with the absolute (Brahman).
  
  
• Taoism teaches that dualities (light/dark, male/female, life/death) are expressions of the same source.
  
  
• Quantum physics suggests particles are entangled—no matter how far apart, their states are connected.
  
  

Modern mystics like Eckhart Tolle, Alan Watts, and Mooji have brought these ancient truths into present-day language, reminding us that we are not isolated beings but waveforms in a shared ocean of consciousness.

The Illusion of Separation

Our world reinforces separation.

We are taught to succeed against others, to define ourselves apart from others, to judge and categorize in order to survive. This creates what some call the “ego self”—a collection of thoughts, beliefs, roles, and stories that feels separate from the rest of existence.

Trauma deepens this illusion.

When we are hurt or dismissed, especially in childhood, we often retreat into protective identities and internal walls. Over time, we forget that these were survival strategies—not the truth of who we are.

This illusion fractures not only our inner world but the collective. It leads to wars, greed, judgment, and even spiritual hierarchy. Healing the illusion of separation, then, is more than personal—it’s planetary.

Returning to Oneness

Non-duality isn’t something to be understood with the mind—it must be felt, experienced, embodied.

You cannot “think” your way into unity consciousness. But you can fall into it. Surrender to it.

Here are some gentle portals back into Oneness:

• Stillness. Sit long enough in silence, and the mind begins to soften its grip.
  
  
• Nature. The trees do not question their belonging.
  
  
• The Heart. Coherence practices like those from HeartMath show us how the electromagnetic field of the heart entrains the body—and even others around us—into harmony.
  
  
• Presence. As Eckhart Tolle says, “The Power of Now” is where separation dissolves.
  
  

And sometimes, the most powerful portal is simply this: awareness of awareness itself.

The quiet observer behind your thoughts is the same Presence witnessing this moment, through every being, every form, every breath.

Living the Paradox

Here’s the beautiful mystery:

Non-duality does not erase your individuality. It includes it.

You are not asked to abandon your name, your needs, your passions, or your path. Rather, you are invited to see them as expressions of the Whole—not apart from it.

You can set boundaries and hold compassion.

You can walk your truth and honor another’s.

You can feel anger and still be rooted in love.

This is the paradox of One: we are both the wave and the ocean.

And in remembering that, we become less reactive, more spacious, more real.

A Gentle Inquiry

Where in your life are you being asked to soften the illusion of “other”?

What would shift if you saw this moment, this person, this breath—not as separate—but as an extension of the same infinite Being?

Let the question open space, not demand an answer.

The path of non-duality is not a dogma. It’s a door.

And you are free to walk through it—again and again.

From Critic to Compass: Shifting Self-Talk to Align with Higher Frequencies

We all have a voice within.

Sometimes it’s encouraging, wise, and attuned. But often, it echoes old fears, unconscious patterns, and harsh judgments we’ve internalized over time. This inner narrative—our self-talk—can either constrict our energy or expand it. It can reinforce the illusion of separation or guide us gently back into alignment with truth.

So the question becomes: What is the energetic cost of our internal narrative?

The Energetic Signature of Self-Talk

Negative self-talk doesn’t just live in the mind. It vibrates. It pulses through our energy field. It colors how we see the world, how we show up in relationships, and what we believe we deserve.

Thoughts like “I’m not enough,” “I always mess this up,” or “No one sees me” often carry the energetic frequency of fear, shame, or guilt. And those lower frequencies don’t just feel heavy—they ripple outward, subtly shaping our reality in ways that confirm the very beliefs we’re trying to overcome.

It’s not about blame. It’s about awareness. Because once we recognize the vibrational impact of our self-talk, we reclaim the power to shift it.

Why Shifting Self-Talk Is Energetic Work

Healing the inner voice isn’t about plastering over pain with positive thinking. It’s about creating an inner ecosystem where truth can thrive.

Healthier self-talk invites us to speak to ourselves with clarity, compassion, and courage. It lifts us toward emotions like acceptance, hope, empowerment—and these are high-frequency states.

When we shift our inner dialogue, we’re not just choosing better thoughts. We’re choosing alignment. With our soul. With our energy. With the version of ourselves that already knows we are worthy.

Practices to Shift from Negative to Aligned Self-Talk

The shift doesn’t require perfection. It requires presence. Below are a few conscious practices that support the transformation of self-talk into a source of inner resonance and power.

1. Witness and Name

Before you change the thought, notice it. Name the tone. Observe how it feels in your body. This simple pause disrupts automatic patterns and invites consciousness in. You might say, “Ah, this is the voice of fear,” or “That’s the old story.” Naming loosens its grip.

2. Reframe and Rewire

Once you’ve named it, ask: What’s also true? What would love say here?

For example:

• “I always mess up” → “I’m learning, and every step is part of the process.”

• “I can’t do this” → “This is new, and I’m open to discovering how.”

The goal isn’t to fake confidence but to find words that are both honest and empowering.

3. Language as Frequency

Words carry charge. Notice which ones feel dense and which feel expansive.

Try replacing “should” with “choose,” or “can’t” with “not yet.”

Experiment with phrases that lift you. Speak as if your soul is listening—because it is.

4. For Deeper Transformation: The ABCDEF Model

For those ready to go deeper into transforming persistent thought patterns, the ABCDEF Model we’ve shared in earlier posts is a powerful cognitive and energetic tool. It helps you trace the roots of limiting beliefs and consciously reframe them from a higher vibrational perspective.

(Feel free to revisit our previous posts on this model for a step-by-step guide.)

5. Embodied Alignment

New thoughts integrate more easily when your body is involved. Speak affirmations aloud while breathing deeply. Ground your feet. Let movement or stillness help anchor your energy in the new frequency. Conscious self-talk is more than mental—it’s a whole-system recalibration.

Becoming the Inner Guide

Each time we choose a higher thought, we tune our frequency.

Each time we respond to ourselves with kindness instead of critique, we reinforce alignment.

This is the journey from inner critic to inner guide. From habitual reaction to conscious resonance.

The goal isn’t to silence the inner voice—it’s to cultivate one that reflects who we’re truly becoming.

Try this mantra if it resonates:

“I speak to myself with the wisdom of who I am becoming.”

Raising Conscious Children: The Next Step in Conscious Parenting & Synergy

The Evolution of Conscious Parenting

Raising Conscious Children

In The Conscious Parent, Dr. Shefali Tsabary revolutionized the way we view parenting—not as a process of control, but as an opportunity for deep awareness, healing, and co-creation between parent and child. She teaches that parenting is less about molding a child into an idealized version of success and more about nurturing their true essence while healing our own generational wounds.

But what happens after we cultivate this awareness as parents?

How do we guide children beyond emotional intelligence into a space of collaborative creation and conscious action?

This is where Conscious Synergy for Children comes in.

From Conscious Parenting to Conscious Synergy

If Conscious Parenting helps us break old patterns, Conscious Synergy helps us build new ones—ones that empower children to understand their role in the interconnected web of life. It moves beyond emotional intelligence into the practical art of conscious co-creation:

• Self-awareness becomes synergy awareness – Teaching children that their thoughts, emotions, and actions don’t just shape their own world, but also ripple outward, affecting others.

• Mindfulness becomes mindful impact – Helping children recognize that their presence, words, and energy contribute to a larger collective experience.

• Breaking unconscious cycles becomes intentional creation – Instead of merely avoiding past mistakes, children learn to actively shape a future rooted in compassion, collaboration, and awareness.

While Conscious Parenting focuses on the inner world, Conscious Synergy helps children bridge their inner and outer worlds—understanding their power as co-creators in a shared reality.

How to Teach Conscious Synergy to Children

Below are some practical ways to introduce Conscious Synergy to children, aligning with the values of Conscious Parenting:

1. Awareness of Self & Others

• Help children name and process their emotions with visual charts or storytelling.

• Introduce mindfulness activities like deep breathing, sensory awareness, or guided visualization.

• Use empathy-building questions: “How do you think your friend felt when…?”

2. Understanding Interconnectedness

• Teach kids that everything is connected—from nature to human relationships. (Example: How trees provide oxygen, how bees help flowers grow.)

• Introduce the idea of energy awareness: “How does it feel when someone speaks kindly vs. unkindly?”

• Create Kindness Ripple Experiments, where children see how one small kind act spreads.

3. Living in Synergy with Others

• Use co-creation games to emphasize collaboration over competition.

• Teach active listening—helping kids fully hear before responding.

• Frame challenges as opportunities to work together rather than win/lose scenarios.

4. Conscious Decision-Making

• Help children understand cause and effect by asking: “If you do this, what might happen next?”

• Introduce intention setting: “What is something kind or exciting you want to create today?”

• Teach the Power of the Pause—encouraging a deep breath before reacting.

5. The Power of Imagination & Creation

• Use vision boards to help children visualize their dreams.

• Encourage storytelling that reflects problem-solving through creativity and kindness.

• Help them explore patterns in nature, energy, and the universe to cultivate curiosity about the bigger picture.

6. Being Present & Grateful

• Start a daily gratitude ritual—naming one thing that brought joy that day.

• Engage children in sensory awareness games, tuning them into sight, sound, and touch.

• Show them the power of slowing down and being present in their experiences.

Why This Matters

As parents, educators, and caregivers, we are no longer just raising children—we are guiding the next generation of conscious co-creators.

The world our children will inherit depends on how well they understand their role in the collective evolution of humanity.

Conscious Synergy is not just about teaching children new skills—it’s about empowering them with a way of being that allows them to move through life with presence, purpose, and a deep sense of connection.

For those who have already embraced Conscious Parenting, this is the natural next step—a shift from awareness to action, from inner healing to outward creation.

Our children are not just learning how to be kind, aware, and intentional.

They are learning how to be the architects of a more conscious world.
