Ive had people get angry at me because of my growth or opportunities. They were so mean, then I learned their true colors. I even felt bad for leaving the relationship/friends. I no longer feel bad. I do feel alone at times through this journey and at times used. I am more happy alone searching for my tribe. Deep inside I walk in peace and I am continuing on my growth. ❤❤❤

I have been lying to myself and purposely keeping myself out of the spotlight because of my childhood trauma. It’s so sad. We have to do a much better job raising our kids

"A huge part of this process is being able to lean into and feel the emotions you've been avoiding feeling."

So true 😢 I was so conditioned of the Eastern European mentality. Unbelievable. Thank God I don't do that to my daughter. She shines all the time and I let her speak. She even teaches me how to be a parent sometimes most of the time😊❤ bless you. You have so much wisdom

It’s a great message and I agree with everything. Recently, I’ve decided to not shine anywhere anymore so I’m no longer a target to steal from, sabotage or shut down. I also feel that people don’t deserve the “real me”.

I have a feeling that you have a gift that can enable you to work for yourself. Workplaces can be hellscapes where groups of traumatized and abused children congregate as adults, having become very skilled at hurting others. I only work for myself so I can hang on to what sanity I have left. There is guidance all over the internet about checking in to how you can make a good living working for yourself. I’m not psychic or anything but I am intuitive & have a measure of common sense. Get looking into that right away.

I’ve been feeling this strongly the last couple weeks. I’ve been having a lot of my power come through strongly and I’ve seen that I have this fear of being big and being seen. I definitely didn’t feel seen as a child. My mum has always dismissed the things that made me special and never shown any interest in my gifts. Ive been thinking a lot today about my fear of stepping fully into my power. I was struggling today and and decided to focusing in on my mission of why I’m here and what I’m most passionate about. Singing/songwriting, creating community and helping others see and come into their power. A few hours before seeing this remembered I had mushroom spores that I got ages ago and never grew and decided to trying to grow them and then seeing this and hearing about your friend who heals with singing was such a powerful sign for me. I’ve had a lot of synchronicities happening the last few days and a lot of things I’ve thought of manifesting fast in the next day. Very grateful for the awesome video Aaron!

Rise & Shine ✨️🌞✨️

From my very first Christmas I was put down, ridiculed and shamed by my jealous aunt because I had So many presents (because I was the first grand child). My entire life I've made every excuse possible to avoid Christmas and my birthday. I just realized after 35 years I downplay myself so as not to make Her feel bad about herself. Funnily enough she's also the one that puts me down and shamed me for not having confidence etc. but you said the magic phrase my friend "I'm not here to worry about Your feelings". I'm allowed to shine. We are allowed to shine. And you know what? This year I'm going to celebrate my fucking birthday!!!

Its beautiful thing to dare to shine but you need to feel safe to do it. I had safe childhood and I guess all I did was shine. After narcisstic abuse 4 years ago I had lost my light but what helped was inmer work and awareness. To get aware of how I am secure person and how if I lashed out or got angry in all I had to go through it didnt make me a bad person. Being in your own strong frame is a good thing. Aaron you do awesome job to set good example what spiritual badass looks like. Thanks for showing the way! 🌞

@@tresaS58 I feel you and you had clearly the worst darkness to go through as a partner and as a mother. I have had also physical pain what can so often come when u deal with toxic people. My narcisst ex pushed me down the stairs suddenly half year after our separation while I was only picking our child but suddenly he refused to give him and I would not give up getting our child and this let us to verbal argument in stairs that turn bad for me. Later I had also back surgery as it was close for me to end up in wheelchair because of the hernia I got mostly doing too heavy things alone like moving 2 houses very much alone. I do understand now how my words can trigger my ex badly so I avoid the hate bond he offers me and focus on the best of our childs interest. What helped me a lot was to write down a dream day 5 year from the point I was 2020 and start really understand my ways of being as a parent or partner in my possible dream future partnership and how I wanna be and then just be it step by step. Dream day text is working best if you record it and listen your own encouraging words time to time what is possible for u. U just have to let yourself dream big! 1 good habit can be enough to shift all. Focus on 1 thing u can do right away! For me it has been learning to celebrate if i can be clean and organised as its victory for me. Narcissts can put you into chaotic state with your emotions. I used to feel worst trauma in my kitchen freezing there and not able to do my dishes as my ex hurtful words kept repeating in my mind. He wanted to make me believe I can do nothing right andhe would call me failure case or even fucking Einstein if he thought i tried to be clever. It was constant mocking style also about making faces to food I made. And i used to be so proud of italian food i had learn to make living in Italy but with him i became very insecure in the kitchen. He was after me commenting what was wrong and these bad words can be hard to forget and are part of my trauma. After our separation i still lived 2 years in the house we had shared and i would write on chalk board "you are enough" to be able to feel better in my kitchen. He had cheated me very badly. I felt also not enough as a woman. Healing can take time but we are often protected when we surround ourselves with safe caring people. You cant let anymore any toxic people in your life even it feels familiar while u are used to it. Saying no should become your new safe word u should use often and you dont have to expain your no to anyone. If its no..its no and thats it. You know the best what feels good for u. You can be the captain of your soul ❤ hugs

Being quiet and observant since childhood, assessing the emotions, tension, energy of everyone. Wanting to fix and heal people. It does effect us into adulthood. And not wanting to outshine anyone. Great video as always Aaron 🤍k

As an ex-Christian, I so relate to not being able to be seen or take credit for anything. Everything good that happens is because GOD did it, not because I did anything good. In fact, we’re all sick sinners… according to that rhetoric, we’re UNworthy. Turning from that belief system has been difficult but deeply healing. I’m able to see truths like the fact that I am not innately sick, in fact, the opposite. I have basic goodness & it’s ok to let ppl see it in me.

I can't thank you enough for making this video I needed to hear it every word u said in this video... I needed to hear.... thank you 🙏

Thank you, Aaron! This is interesting for me because I am not at all unwilling to be seen so I am happy to be a performer, and happy with publicity, but at the same time I am a very quiet and shy person off stage. It is as if I am an Extrovert and an Introvert. I used to think it was because I was born on the cusp of Pisces and Aries.

Some people try so hard to get attention, especially singers which can be very competitive, and they get so jealous when someone gets a lot of attention without even trying. If that is your siblings, it's even worse. I often draw back to avoid the drama. I'm so sensitive to these things, and haven't got a single competitive bone in my body, so it's easier to just withdraw. But it feels good the times I have given my self the grace to shine, seeing that I truly touch people doing so! 💖

oh i so understand these dynamics you describe ! its amazing to see how you have overcome so much

Thankyou Aaron I have been a sub for a couple of yrs now since and listening/watching your vids have helped me greatly Thankyou 💜.

Woohoo I was the first to like this video 😁💖

Aaron, you are amazing and I want to say thank you for shining bright. ✨️ I am better because you are a guiding light. Your message is spot on. I didn't want to outshine my siblings as a 6 year old kid and also I know for sure my dad was jealous af of us kids having a better upbringing than him. This led my dad to being super abusive and then I had to really not be seen and not heard at all. It wasn't even safe for me to cry as a kid or for my siblings to cry or for us to express ourselves because it would enrage him. So much other crap just came up for me. Makes total sense why now as an adult I shy away from excelling, and it's leaving me feeling unfulfilled. You are amazing Aaron. Thanks for your videos. I am showing up for myself more, and realizing I'm not responsible for other people's response to my awesomeness. 😂😄🌼🙏🏼🩷💯✨️

Hi. I am part of the High Vibe Tribe. ✨

awesome thank you so much🙏

Wow your inner little Aaron is so enlightened ❤ I love your essence and I resonate with your childhood experience 🫂 For me, the little me took the protector, the older sister who took the blame and who's been abused by the adults "caregivers" who were and still fighting their own demons. Awareness is my power. Now my adult me is responsible for only myself that's it ❤

One of my favorite videos of yours, loved hearing more stories about your life. You light up when you tell stories and you make me laugh when you joke around...the chandelier thing lol...I mean if I had a chandelier I would totally be grandiose about it with a fancy accent and shit because it's funny and I like making people laugh. I see you Aaron. But also I meditated half way through this video..I paused it and then let the fuck go...how?...I imagined all of this life I am living..my job.. things that weigh me down..were in the past. Then I felt the relief of doing what I love..I saw vividly a surreal painting of me Athyna like the Greek depiction but only as myself in nature surrounded by things I love...it was realistic yet had illustrated lines. I called the style_ A Storybook Come To Life. I cried and said to myself "you are freaking amazing. " Then when I was done wrote it in my sketchbook. After I came too, I came in, made a pot of tea and watched the rest of the video and tears came to my eyes as you expressed what you said to Patty. I saw a glimpse of your heart when you were expressing how you felt about her singing. ✨ Beautiful ✨

Thank you Aaron⭐️ You are totally RIGHT 🙏

Hi Aaron, I just watched your video. I can resonate with this topic. You really discuss things in depth on topics that many self improvement KZreadrs haven’t mentioned. I have been always been into these types of videos since 5th grade. You are right about wanting to steer away from the limelight. Some people I see have gifts and I know they are hiding. I can see it blatantly. I always tell them that I see their strengths. That’s something I have always noticed in certain people. I come from a family with a mom, dad and 2 sisters. My parents used to own an adoption agency. My dad visited one of the orphanages in China that mistreated children. Right when he met me at 4 he adored me because I immediately came up to him and hugged him then looked into his eyes. Ever since then he wanted to give me all the attention. Shortly after, he died from cancer. My mom was devastated and things started to change. She put all her anger towards the world onto me. I was the youngest and she planted seeds I was certain beliefs. Then my sisters got jealous I took all the attention at the beginning and gained up on me to the point I hated being myself. I was constantly walking on eggshells and holding my breath my entire childhood. This created me to feel small and hated to be noticed. I was criticized a lot so it created me to super self conscious of me doing the smallest things. I unconsciously do whatever I could to get out of the attention and if I ever did by accident I was ridiculed. I have always been told my strangers I was meant for something. I have had many contradictory thoughts of were strangers right or were the people I grew up were right. It made me question everything I did. Slowly but surely I’m realizing I do have light inside me. I am very good at bringing hope into other lives by changing mindsets when they don’t even know it by organizing their homes. I have realized that’s something powerful and I want to help others. This really explained more on my thoughts and feelings about this certain topic.

Thank you for this very important message. You are truly a wonderful person ❤️☮️🕊️

Hello, I am from the HV tribe 😁 I am still learning how to shine without feeling so guilty. I am no longer going to allow myself to hide. I will continue to challenge myself to go out in the world and do me and also meet some good people. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I show you my gratitude for helping us navigate through this for it can be difficult at times. Peace and love to you all and thank you again Aaron for what you do. ✌🏻❤

Ok this is what I was doing!:)

It's so odd how we feel shame with our success and abundance in relation to those around us who may not have what we have. But you're right in saying, that as we shine, we hold a vibration that can inspire others, they have a choice to feel jealous or be happy for you and to feel that they can also be, do and have what they want. It's all a mindset thing. I've had partners who don't acknowledge my gifts and so I stayed quiet, currently in another situation where I might also be playing small, but I'm aware of it, and working on it. yeah, we're not responsible for how others feel in relation to us.

I feel this. Whenever i felt good about myself as a kid, my family said "its getting dusty in here" as a joke about me being confident in my abilities. Bc they are all people who never had the courage to shine or be seen. So i learned, that i am not allowed to feel good about myself, to be proud of myself. I learned, that i am a bad person, when i feel good about myself. Bc i want them to like me and they wouldnt like me, when i shine. As i got older, it just got worse and may be a part of the reason, why i cant get out of the house anymore, bc of panic attacks. I dont want to be seen by anyone anymore. It feels dangerous. And in this feeling of depression, i realised, my family likes me most when i am on the ground. I didnt overcome it yet, i still struggle to like myself and i still have depression, social anxiety, panic attacks, but maybe the realisation will help me

When you started singing "Happy Birthday" I started to feel the panic in myself rise up very briefly. It's almost like it's hardwired in. Thank you for bringing awareness I could never put my finger on it until now.

You don't even know the insight this video gave me and the impact on my life. I am forever grateful. Thank you 🙏

Thank you so much! I agree with everything ❤

Thank you for explaining this so well! You are amazing too!

Aaron, your story growing up wit your younger sibling is my story 😮 I have always felt exactly what you described, not wanting to be seen, hiding my talents, feeling uncomfortable being the center of attention. Slowly, I have been able to be aware of this and little by little have been stepping into my light more and more not caring about what they feel. But man, it felt like you were speaking directly to me ❤ thank you, thank you for sharing this so that we are more aware too :)

Afraid to be seen due to overwhelm when my skills and talents are in high demand. I have a hard time saying no, overcommit, and eventually burn out. I’ve been accused of being lazy, but I’m trying to protect my energy. No one expects you to do things for them when they think you are incompetent.

Wow. We are living the digital life. It all comes down to be productive! Be who you want to be not what everyone expects. Not that hard!

I love you. This video was so honest... I felt every word in my heart 🤍 Thank youu!

Nobody ever talk about this subject. I needed this video like my life depends on it. you have no idea how much it helps me. thanks

This resonates soo deeply I feel very much the same way. Also the sync of the lights flashing right after you say "I better hold back" at 18:05 is really satisfying. It's like nah man, y'all better shine ✨

God man. Your videos hit me so differently. I have always felt that I have greatness inside me. I know I do. I have just been so scared to see it come out and so scared to fail. I just started seeing your videos and I know it’s happening for a reason. I’m fresh out of a relationship that I pretty much ruined because of my insecurities of not feeling like I’m enough. This is my time and I can feel it. Thank you bro and much love ❤

I now look at all my childhood moments that I was afraid to shine, and still to this day, there are things I hold back. This video really opened my eyes to why that is. I've dug deep trying to think of "childhood trauma" with my parents or a specific event but never thought about the small traumas often by my brother or kids at school even. By school, i was mostly shaped by my parents and my older brother. My brother picked on me, and all my life, I attracted "friends" that would do mostly the same. I would embody a new personality for different friend groups to fit in but never let my highest self shine in those relationships.

That video resonates with me so much! For years downplaying myself in front of my 4 siblings to not trigger their jealousy, not upsetting them although they are not even nice to me. Realised lately how I've been downplaying myself whole life to not disturb people around me, although I know their feelings are their responsibility. I guess, if we are honest, we are downplaying ourselves to fit around and not to be rejected. So now, f....this!- let's shine! Right people can take it as a good example to follow & motivation, the rest, if they are triggered, hopefully will realise the work they need to do on themselves. Self love, self confidence, self worth - for us to work on and then, shining! 😉😊❤️

For me, growing up at home, being seen often meant being teased and picked on. I was also never allowed to defend against that. It has taken me time and work to get past that.

Yes, I was always told that children were to be seen and not heard! This video resonates with me, huge! Wow!
