You Don’t Attract What You Want—You Attract What You Feel Safe Having

Principle 2: Safety Regulates Your Reality

🔥 You’re not failing at manifesting.
 You’re just trying to call in a life your nervous system doesn’t feel safe holding.

In Episode 24 of Sovereignty Rising, Dawn Elgin brings the bold truth about why you keep repeating old patterns, attracting misaligned relationships, and sabotaging the very things you say you want.

“Your mind might want the breakthrough. But if your body associates it with danger, your system will block it.”

This episode isn’t mindset fluff—it’s trauma-informed co-creation. You’ll learn how to recognize your nervous system’s hidden rules, why you attract what you feel safe having (not what you desire), and how to start expanding your capacity to receive more.

🎧 This is Principle 2 of the 8-Part Principles of Co-Creation Series, rooted in Dawn’s upcoming book. If you’re ready to stop blaming yourself and start healing your receiving patterns, this is your episode.
