I was triggered (to the max) by a car alarm, seriously?

We are going through a massive upheaval on this planet, whether you’re spiritual or not. It doesn’t play favorites. This era we’re entering, written about by ancient civilizations and channeled by spiritual teachers, is basically the next chapter of Earth’s evolution. Some call it the Age of Aquarius, some say we’re shifting from 3D to 5D, old Earth to New Earth. Whatever you want to call it, the message is clear:

“We are being asked, and honestly forced, to release what no longer serves us to make space for the new.”

There’s this idea out there (I know, it sounds wild and a little esoteric but stay with me) that Earth is “splitting” into two parallel realities. The old Earth holds on to all the heavy stuff... anger, resentment, frustration, payback, all that low vibe energy. The New Earth? It’s all about happiness, love, transparency, alignment, and ease. but to get there, we need to release the dense.

Right now, you might be feeling the push and pull of both worlds at once, and yeah, it’s uncomfortable. It’s supposed to be. The Universe is basically saying, Shed that old skin. Drop the patterns, self-doubt, low self-worth, and resentment that you’ve been clutching like security blankets. It’s tricky because those old patterns feel normal.

“That morning dread before opening your work email? It feels normal, but it’s a pattern your nervous system expects.”

So when you try to release it, it feels like you’re losing something, even though it’s exactly what you need to let go. I hear this lately from people asking, “Why does everything feel so hard right now?” But what if it’s not hard? Let's flip the perspctive. What if it’s actually exciting? Your routine is changing. You’re shedding old skin.

An example of clinging to the old is when someone complains about their job nonstop, then gets fired and feels crushed because they were so attached to the pain of that job that losing it felt like losing their identity.

The beauty is, we peel layers every day towards our true self. When you connect with your authentic self, nothing outside shakes your foundation. You could lose a job, relocate, have inconveniences but still feel at ease because you are at home with yourself.

I say all this because I had a massive “aha” moment this past weekend, triggered by something totally mundane and wild.... a car alarm.

Yes, a car alarm.

After three years of living without a car, taking the train, walking everywhere, embracing the no-car life, I finally manifested a car. The car literally checked every single box on my specific Manifestor manifestation list. (Specific manifestation is a whole other blog we will get into soon!) I love everything about it. Until the alarm started going off. Randomly. Day and night.

At first, I shrugged it off. Maybe someone bumped it? But it kept happening. Over and over. Sometimes at midnight, sometimes at 2 a.m, sometimes when I was teaching rooftop yoga on a Sunday morning with my car 6 floors below. We live in a condo surrounded by trees but alsoother buildings with plenty of neighbors. The noise wasn’t just mine, it was everyone’s problem, and it triggered me, to my core.

“I thought, ‘I’m going to have a nervous breakdown over a car alarm.’ Sounds crazy, right? But this alarm was pushing me to more inner healing.”

I started to feel overwhelmed with guilt and shame: I’m a monster. I’m annoying everyone. I have no care for anyone. I’m selfish for putting my needs first.

It was wild.

It took a few days of wrestling with these emotions to realize what was really happening: this tiny, external inconvenience was a reflection of my internal energy purging people-pleasing and the fear of being “too much.” It was a chance to feel the emotions, ride the wave, and release.

Here’s where manifestation laws show up: the more I fixated on the frustration, the more other annoying things popped up. The Universe was saying, “You’ve got to see this, Nikki.”

The moment I got it and had awareness and realized the alarm wasn’t the enemy but a teacher, everything shifted. My boyfriend found a way to silence the alarm until we got it in for service. My nervous system settled. Peace returned.

“Healing is mostly awareness. Once you see what needs to change, the Universe aligns to help you. It's literally 90% of healing. Awareness.”

This experience hammered home something I’ve known but needed to live again: healing is mostly awareness. Once you see what needs to change, the Universe aligns to help you. Awareness clears the things you’ve been lugging around for years.

So if something ridiculous or minor is driving you crazy right now, trust that it’s doing its job. Your energy is purging. You’re healing. You’re clearing space for the real, authentic, aligned you, the New Earth version of you.

You don’t need that old heavy baggage anymore. But... the New Earth needs your authetcity.

With so much love,

Nikki
