Ever manifested something beautiful only to watch it quietly fall apart two weeks later, like a cheap Amazon box in a rainstorm?
You're not alone. And spoiler alert: it's not because you're bad at manifesting or your vision board wasn't Pinterest-worthy enough.
The problem runs deeper; literally at the frequency level where reality actually reorganizes itself. In a mind-bending conversation on The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Karen Cheong drops some serious truth bombs about why our carefully crafted manifestations keep snapping back like unauthorized rubber bands, and what we can actually do about it.
The Static Problem: Why You're Broadcasting Through Distortion
Picture this: you think you're sending crystal-clear signals to the universe about what you want. But here's what's actually happening; you're broadcasting through layers and layers of static.
When we carry limiting beliefs or place our attention on lack or fear, we lose touch with our innate creative power and begin to perceive reality through distortion. These distortions aren't just annoying background noise. They're the invisible filters shaping every single thing you experience.
Karen explains it brilliantly: imagine you're sitting on a beach watching a gorgeous sunset, but you're wearing filters...one yellow, one gray, one green, and one that causes wobbliness. Instead of seeing that sunset, all you see is a storm. That's exactly how distortion patterns work. You're experiencing your entire reality through these inherited, unconscious filters, completely unaware they're even there.
Where Do These Distortion Patterns Come From?
Think your great-great-grandmother's unresolved trauma has nothing to do with your Monday morning anxiety? Think again.
Your distortion patterns come from:
- Ancestral experiences – Thanks to epigenetics, what your ancestors experienced absolutely influences your DNA expression and the choices you make today
- Cultural conditioning – The unspoken rules and beliefs of the society you grew up in
- Religious programming – Even if you're not religious now, ancestral religious beliefs have shaped your lineage
- Past life imprints – The emotional and energetic baggage carried forward (if you're open to that concept)
These patterns literally wrap around you like layers of duct tape around a brilliant sphere of pure source energy. The sphere, the real you, is perfectly fine. But it's weighed down, vibrating slower, forgetting it's surrounded by infinite possibility.
The Frequency Solution: Raising Your Resonance Changes Everything
Here's where it gets exciting. When you release these distortion patterns, something remarkable happens: your frequency resonance naturally rises. You don't even have to force it.
Everything in the universe vibrates at a specific frequency, and when you align with healing frequencies, you restore balance and promote deep healing across physical and energetic systems.
Karen breaks down the vibrational hierarchy beautifully:
- Pure source energy – The highest vibration (pure consciousness, oneness)
- Frequency – A step down from source
- Energy – Lower vibration than frequency
- Matter/form – The densest, slowest vibration (your physical body, your desk, your annoying neighbor's leaf blower)
Everything originates at the higher resonating order. Change something at the frequency level, and the physical reality has to reorganize to match it. Not because you're forcing it, because that's just how physics works.
The Keyhole Metaphor That Changes Everything
Imagine you're looking at the infinite field of possibility...all the abundance, joy, health, and love that exists...but you can only see it through a tiny keyhole. That keyhole is determined by your distortion patterns.
As you release the distortions and your resonance rises, the keyhole expands. Suddenly you have access to perspectives, timelines, emotions, manifestations, and possibilities that were always there but completely invisible to you before.
It's not that the universe was withholding. You just couldn't see what was available because of where you were vibrating.
Timeline Jumping Isn't Sci-Fi, It's How Reality Actually Works
Now let's talk about timelines, because this is where things get deliciously weird.
There are infinite possibilities and timelines that exist in the universe, and by changing your thoughts, emotions, and belief systems wholeheartedly, you shift timelines and quantum jump into new realities.
A timeline is simply a trajectory in time of your life experience. But here's the kicker: there isn't just one timeline. There are infinite versions running simultaneously, each representing different potential outcomes based on different resonances.
In one timeline, you said yes to that opportunity and your life looks one way. In another, you said no and it looks completely different. The version you experience isn't fated or predetermined, it's based on your current frequency resonance.
The Business Partner Who Became a Different Person
Karen shared an incredible story about a client drowning in business partner drama. They couldn't even be in the same room without screaming at each other. The client was working 14-hour days, terrified about losing everything.
But as she started releasing distortion patterns...low self-worth, scarcity, fear...something magical happened. Her resonance rose. She started having actual conversations with her business partner. They hired team members. She went from 14-hour days to 6-hour days. Strategic partners appeared out of nowhere. Revenue amplified.
But here's the mind-bending part: the business partner changed too. Not because the client "fixed" her, but because as the client shifted to a higher timeline, she encountered a different version of her business partner, one who existed on that higher-resonance timeline all along.
The 50-Year Marriage That Transformed
Even wilder? Karen worked with a woman in her 70s who was ready to divorce her controlling husband after 50+ years of marriage. She had it all planned out; divorce attorneys, separate bank accounts, the whole nine yards.
But as she released her distortion patterns, her resonance rose. Her husband started changing. He agreed to sell the house (he'd refused before). He let her make decisions about improvements (unheard of previously). And the day after closing, just as she was about to ask for the divorce, he surprised her by asking her to manage all their money and decide what they do with it, something he'd never allowed in 50 years.
She was so shocked, she didn't make her big announcement. They bought a sailboat. They're currently sailing around the world together, still married, having the time of their lives.
Did the husband magically transform? Not exactly. The woman shifted to a different timeline where a different version of her husband existed, one who was more collaborative, more respectful, more open. When you shift internally, the quantum field mirrors it externally, and quickly.
How to Actually Work With Frequency (No Woo-Woo Required)
So how do you actually release these distortion patterns and raise your resonance?
Step 1: Become Aware of Your Patterns
You'll know you have a distortion pattern anywhere you keep hitting the same wall repeatedly, regardless of how much work you've done. It shows up as:
- The same relationship dynamics with different partners
- Recurring money blocks no matter how many courses you take
- Physical symptoms that won't resolve
- Opportunities that appear and then mysteriously evaporate
Step 2: Name the Pattern
You don't need a PhD in psychology. Just notice what you're feeling when you get triggered. Jealousy? Fear? Unworthiness? Scarcity? That's your distortion talking.
Step 3: Confirm the Removal
This is where frequency work comes in. While traditional methods focus on managing symptoms, frequency work addresses the pattern at the quantum level where it actually exists as a wave formation.
Frequency healing uses sound vibrations and specific frequencies to stimulate the vagus nerve, reduce tension, encourage healthy energy flow, and align the body's frequencies for improved health and well-being.
You can explore:
- Group frequency calibrations (Karen offers over 250 free ones on her podcast)
- Sound therapy with singing bowls, tuning forks, or binaural beats
- Meditation practices that calm the nervous system and create coherence
- Breathwork exercises that shift your energetic state
- Somatic practices that release stored trauma from the body
Step 4: Step Into Your Authority as Co-Creator
Here's the crucial part most people miss: you have to claim your power. Frequency work can release the pattern at the quantum level instantly, but you have to acknowledge it and choose to let it go. You have free will. No one can do this for you, not even the most skilled practitioner.
The Practical Magic of Rising Resonance
As your resonance rises, some pretty spectacular things start happening:
- You feel less triggered by things that used to send you into a tailspin
- Synchronicities multiply (the right person calls at the right time, unexpected opportunities appear)
- Your perspective expands (you see solutions you literally couldn't see before)
- Physical reality reorganizes faster than you thought possible
- You start experiencing timelines where better versions of people show up
And perhaps most importantly? You start noticing the beauty in small moments you would have completely missed before. That quality of light. That unexpected kindness. Those quiet magical instances that make life worth living.
The Ripple Effect: Your Frequency Affects the Whole
Here's something beautiful: as you raise your resonance, you don't just change your own life. You ripple out and affect everyone around you, whether you know their names or not.
Karen shares a powerful story about a man who invented something that saved thousands of lives. At his award ceremony, he thanked his childhood best friend, because that friend had randomly stopped by one day when the man was planning to end his life. The friend had no idea. Just showed up. And that simple act changed everything.
Your emanation matters more than you realize. When you remember your true nature as a conscious creator, you help raise the collective vibration of the planet and all life on it.
Why This Matters Right Now
We're in what many call a "window of ascension", a period where consciousness can genuinely rise. Yes, the world looks chaotic (understatement of the century). Old systems are breaking down loudly. But underneath all that noise, there's an opportunity.
An opportunity to remember who we actually are beneath all the conditioning and distortion. To recognize that we're not broken and don't need fixing, we just need to release the heavy layers that have been weighing us down.
You're not a damaged human desperately trying to fix yourself. You're a sphere of pure source energy that temporarily forgot its own brilliance.

The Big Picture Takeaway
Your reality isn't fixed. It's a fluid, dynamic field shaped by your frequency. Those manifestations that keep unraveling? They're not failing because you're doing it wrong. They're constrained by distortion patterns running beneath your conscious awareness.
Release the distortions, raise your resonance, and reality reorganizes. Not because you're chasing or forcing or hustling harder, but because you're finally vibrating at the frequency where what you desire already exists.
The infinite field of possibility isn't some mystical concept. It's physics. And you have access to it the moment you release what's been dimming your light.
So maybe stop trying to fix yourself and start remembering who you actually are: a brilliant sphere of consciousness wrapped in temporary layers of forgotten stories.
Time to unwrap.
