2025 is a turning point in the collective evolution of consciousness. As the energetic backdrop of our world shifts, many are feeling the pressure to align more deeply with their truth. But how do we manifest with clarity when the rules of reality itself seem to be changing? The true path to transformation lies in understanding and working with the energy field—the subtle systems that shape our emotions, thoughts, and results. Manifestation isn't just about wishing. It’s about aligning your entire vibrational field with your soul’s desires.
In this episode of The Life Reawakened Show, host Gretchen sits down with Dr. Alison J. Kay, energy medicine pioneer and founder of the Vibrational Upgrade™ System. Together, they unpack the real reasons why the Law of Attraction often “doesn’t work”. They also discuss how our conditioning, subconscious beliefs, and unhealed energy blocks silently sabotage our desires. Dr. Alison shares ancient wisdom from her decade in Asia and decades of working with energy, chakras, and manifestation. She offers a grounded reframe on co-creation in the modern world, plus practices to help listeners perceive intuition, release internal resistance, and finally hear what the universe is really saying.
If you've ever doubted manifestation, felt cynical about “positive thinking,” or struggled to stay clear on your desires, this conversation is for you. Dr. Alison’s insights will help you clear mental fog, reconnect to your inner guidance, and activate the subtle energies that bring your vision to life. This conversation will help you work with your energy field to manifest more clearly and powerfully in 2025 and beyond.
Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:
- Understand why traditional manifestation methods often fall short and how to align your energy field for true co-creation in today’s evolving vibrational landscape.
- Uncover how unconscious beliefs, inherited conditioning, and energetic blocks silently shape your reality and what you can do to clear them.
- Explore ancient energetic systems and modern neurology to activate deeper intuition, subtle awareness, and natural manifestation flow.

Episode Highlights
2025 Energies: A Turning Point for Manifestation
- According to Dr. Alison, the energetic climate of 2025 is unlike any before.
- She explains that we are now in the second half of a 20-year awakening window, marked by rapid shifts in human consciousness.
- The ability to manifest is accelerating—but only for those aligned with the new vibrational patterns.
- Dr. Alison frames this year as a moment of urgency, where intention and awareness are key to personal evolution.
Tuning Into Qi: A Practice in Energy Awareness
- Dr. Alison guides the audience through a gentle Qigong exercise to help raise and lower their Qi.
- She encourages listeners to feel the energetic resistance between their hands, describing the sensation as a “golden ball.”
- Qigong creates real-time feedback—tingling, heat, and emotional release—that demonstrates the potency of subtle energy.
- She uses this to illustrate how our senses can expand beyond the physical plane, awakening us to subtle perception.
A Decade in Asia: Learning From Ancient Systems
- Dr. Alison shares her personal journey of leaving Florida to immerse herself in the ancient healing arts of Asia.
- She recounts her experiences with reflexology, Qigong, Chinese massage, and Daoist practices across Southeast Asia.
- Her journey uncovered a deep hunger within herself to deepen client outcomes through energetic mastery—not just Western logic.
- These experiences seeded the foundation for her Vibrational UPgrade™ system, now used globally.
Redefining Energy Work as a Profession
- Returning to the West, Dr. Alison commits to professionalizing energy medicine, viewing it as a rigorous science.
- Her years of leading retreats to sacred sites in the Yucatán helped her connect ancient wisdom with modern transformation.
- This work positioned her as a thought leader in the energetic shifts tied to humanity’s awakening process.
Rewiring the Mind: Neurology, Meditation, and Energy
- There are specific neurological shifts required to thrive in the new paradigm.
- Dr. Alison explains how our brains are wired for linear, masculine logic—and why we must now cultivate the feminine, intuitive yin.
- Working with the energy field helps recondition both mind and body to become more attuned to divine guidance.
- Accessing this divine guidance requires that we surrender rigid thinking and embrace vibrational living to unlock inner wisdom.
Dr. Alison: “The times that we're in this year, it is the thick of it. This is the turning point… We're at a turning point where people are going to be able to see how their thoughts create reality in a much quicker, more direct way..”
Conscious vs. Unconscious: The Real Creator of Your Reality
- Only 5–15% of our thoughts are conscious—Dr. Alison emphasizes that the rest silently governs our daily choices.
- She reveals how deeply rooted imprints, traumas, and beliefs form our energetic “broadcast” to the universe.
- Our energy field carries these imprints unless cleared, often blocking the flow of desired outcomes.
- Her vibrational upgrade system works by releasing density and rewiring internal narratives for aligned creation.
Listening to the Whispers: Why Manifestation Has Been Failing
- Host Gretchen asks whether people are finally ready to hear the subtle messages they’ve long ignored.
- Dr. Alison affirms that 2025 marks a time when subtle energies become more pronounced and accessible.
- She compares this shift to post-COVID Earth—quieter, more intuitive, and full of hidden signals.
- To thrive, we must tune out cynicism and recalibrate toward synchronicity, softness, and trust.
Clearing Chakra Blocks to Amplify Manifestation
- Dr. Alison teaches how blocks in specific chakras—like unworthiness or over-responsibility—directly interfere with manifestation.
- We receive unconscious programming from childhood (e.g., sibling dynamics) that embeds into our energetic system.
- Clearing these patterns allows vital life force energy to move more freely, particularly in the solar plexus and heart.
- She introduces the “Co-Creator’s Channel,” a bridge between the heart and throat that helps birth soul-aligned desires.
Kirsten’s Question: What If I Feel No Desire at All?
- Kirsten asks what it means to feel desireless—not apathetic, but blank.
- Dr. Alison explains this is often depression or suppression of the higher self, caused by unexpressed energy.
- She teaches that every new desire activates vitality, and not pursuing it leads to energetic stagnation.
- Clearing egoic resistance reawakens intuition and opens space for true desires to surface gently over time.
Do You Need Clarity to Manifest?
- Dolores raises a powerful question: Is crystal-clear clarity required to manifest effectively?
- Dr. Alison challenges the myth that we must know the exact outcome—we only need to sense the feeling we desire.
Dr. Alison: “We are going through humanity's greatest evolutionary leap.”
- She encourages listeners to start simple: ask for ease, flow, or clarity without needing a perfect vision.
- Shifting the energy field into resonance with your desire is more important than visualizing every detail.
How to Ask the Universe
- There is a correct way to phrase questions to the universe for deeper guidance.
- Instead of commanding a specific outcome, she recommends staying in curiosity: “What else is possible?” or “Show me what I can’t yet see.”
- This surrender opens space for divine orchestration and outcomes better than the logical mind can conceive.
- She reframes the process as a partnership with divine intelligence—one where trust and openness carry more weight than control.
Dr. Alison: “It's a re-patterning where now your alignment with negative occurrences, struggle, difficulties, obstacles, hesitations, resistance. It's replaced with alignment with success.”
Releasing the Struggle Paradigm
- Many participants wrestle with long-held beliefs that life must be hard or earned through suffering.
- Dr. Alison directly names the “struggle paradigm” as outdated, urging listeners to release their addiction to hardship.
- She explains that internalized cultural and generational beliefs—like “people like us don’t get to have that”—must be cleared to rise.
- Joy, abundance, and ease are not luxuries—they are natural frequencies we must learn to normalize.
Clearing & Activation for Natasha: Reclaiming Self-Worth
- Natasha receives a live clearing focused on healing patterns of over-giving and disempowerment.
- Dr. Alison pinpoints deep karmic and energetic imprints tied to rescue behavior and lack of self-value.
- As the clearing progresses, Natasha feels lighter and more supported, visibly releasing old pain.
- Dr. Alison reminds her that true power comes not from sacrifice, but from knowing one’s innate worth.
Clearing & Activation for Mona: Letting Go of Taking on Too Much
- Mona shares her habit of taking on too much and feeling energetically heavy as a result.
- Dr. Alison performs a clearing to release these burdens, focusing on the heart and throat chakras.
- Mona experiences a fluttering sensation and recognizes the emotional weight she’s been carrying.
- Through the session, she is guided to re-center in her own value and step back from over-responsibility.
Stepping Into a Co-Creative Life with Your Energy Field
- Conscious co-creation isn’t about striving harder—it’s about tuning into the energetic truth beneath our desires.
- Remember: the universe doesn’t just respond to words; there’s more to our energy field than the words we say.
- We also need to observe our vibration, conditioning, and subconscious patterns if we are to co-create with the divine.
