How to “make it” when you live in a toxic environment

‼️Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion based on what has helped me and is by no means professional advice. Please take what resonates according to your situation.

1. Drop your expectations. People who have shown you consistently that they don’t care will not change.You need to preserve as much energy as you can for yourself and your goals. Stop setting yourself up for disappointment. Yes, it’s sad. Do the shadow work and don’t tell people things YOU KNOW they will react negatively to.

2. Don’t expect people to be happy for you or support you. Move in silence. People’s subconscious fears will be projected onto you and your goals, why do you need those curses placed upon you when you have so much to deal with anyway.

3. Take what you can get. Accept whatever help you can receive that you know will have no repercussions. Sometimes people can help you with some things and not others.

4. Shift all your efforts towards being able to leave that environment. Do research on how you can expand your finances, and that may mean doing something out of your comfort zone such as creating a social media platform etc. Never compromise on your well being however.

5. You need to believe in yourself as much as you can, even if people won’t.

6. Take advantage of the free help and advice on the internet. Can’t afford something? Well you have time more than money at the moment so use it to research. That research can be used as an asset to help you now and maybe later it can be the reason you start a particular business or are inspired to help people.

7. BE SOLUTION ORIENTED. focusing on problems only creates more problems. You’re going to have to try over and over again in life. Focusing on what’s wrong all the time will not allow you to step outside of the box and see things from a detached point of view where you can actually see a solution.

8. Prayer. I cannot stress this enough. Prayer has caused miracles in my life. Rely on God/Universe whatever you resonate with as much as you can. Your connection to yourself and your higher power is something you always have access to and if you believe and have faith even in times of darkness your high vibration will cause the ripple effect you’re looking for and problems will be solved. I recommend praying and setting up an intention every morning and night.

9. Even if you’re in survival mode 90% of the time. That 10% you spend meditating and praying. Even a little 10 minute meditation, if you can do it and have that time to be in complete surrender and serenity it will still make a difference. It’s not about how much time is spent on something but rather the quality of that. Allow that 10 minutes to be sacred, profound.

10. Ask for all the help you can get from where you know you can. you may get turned down, life is about risks. But always keep going.

11. Create time if you don’t have it. Give something up in order to gain something else. You may need to compromise on something for the time being to be able to create a prominent change/shift in your life. But make sure it is something that won’t affect your health and well being. Example; less time watching tv, more time spent on cultivating faith

12. Be very consistent in your efforts. Consistency towards something is what creates that energetic momentum which will eventually lead to a manifestation.

13. Daily affirmations and listening to affirmations when you sleep is also a great method to reprogram your subconscious and set you up for success. Again, so many free resources out there you can use, you just have to consciously use your will power and pray to receive the strength you need so you can push through.

I’ve linked my energy healing playlist as well as another energy clearing I listen to. I will also be posting more energy healings , always listen with the intention to receive. You don’t even need to pay attention when listening to those.

The meditation I linked says “love meditation” but I’ve used it to manifest other things and I’ve received answer to my prayers immediately.

I hope this helps and I’m sending much love to everyone needing this.

Tried and tested Manipulation Techniques:

1) While talking, 80% truth and 20% lies. Make sure that the 20% lie is generic and extremely difficult to spot. This will help in creating a persona where people will think you are an honest person and when you truly need to lie or are put in a compromising situation people will naturally believe you until proved otherwise.

2) We live in a male dominated society and need to manipulate them to leverage benefits. The basic one that will keep you safe and get things done is speak with respect and softness. Confuse the person with hot and cold behaviour. Act a little cutesy I swear a lot of men are vulnerable to it. Touch them occasionally and strategically.

3) If you are living in a dysfunctional family learn how to manipulate your parents. You know your parents the best. Know the major deal breakers now the ones that align with you stick to them and fulfill it. It will give an illusion of being the perfect daughter and then strategically implement the rebel side.

Trial and error is the only way here.

4) Always keep a pristine image in front of authorities, bosses, teachers and professors. Never be aggressive if you have opposing views express it gently and in ways it's digestible to them. Being aggressive, on defence will only lead to your downfall. Soft spoken over anything else. Show your intellect but don't try to outsmart them. Showcase a learning attitude.

5) Learn to confuse people. Honestly it's such a boon. No one knows if you are truly a bitch or the situation triggered it out of you. Have multiple personalities catered to multiple people. Please understand I am not talking here in a people pleasing way. It's called adaptation.

For example: In my previous office I am rumoured to be an introvert in the team who is bitchy because of my strong boundaries but when you go to the HR she thinks I am a sincere candidate with a great work ethic and hardworking persona. In my college everyone thinks I am an extrovert and in my home my family thinks I am an ambivert. So you understand. So you understand the point right? Tailor your personality as per the environment.

The 48 Laws of Power

by Robert Greene - video link

part 1: [laws 1-27]

Never outshine the master- make those above you feel "comfortably superior". when you try to please/ impress them, don't go too far or you might inspire fear and insecurity instead. make your masters more brilliant than they are.

Never put too much trust in friends.- friends can become jealous more easily.

Conceal your attentions.- keep people in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. if they do not know why you did something, they cannot prepare a defenCe.

Always say less than necessary.- the more you say/ talk, the more "common" and less in control you appear. impress and intimidate by saying less.

So much depends on reputation- guard it with your life- through reputation alone, you can intimidate people. but if it slips, you will be attacked on all sides.

Court attention at all costs.- everything is judged by appearance. never let yourself get lost in a crowd, or 'buried' into oblivion. stand out.

Get others to do the work for you, but take the credit.- use the wisdom, knowledge, and legwork of others to further your own cause.

⭐️ Make other people come to you- use bait if necessary.- when you force the other person to act, you are the one in control. lure them in, then attack.

Win through your actions, never through argument.- more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions.

Infection: avoid the unhappy and the unlucky. - emotional states are as infectious as diseases. associate with the happy, and fortunate instead

⭐️ Learn to keep people dependent on you.- always be needed and wanted. the more you are relied on, the more freedom you have. make them depend on you for their happiness and prosperity.

Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim.- open hearted gestures of honesty and generosity, bring the guard down of even the most suspicious people. once it "opens a hole in their armour", you can deceive and manipulate them at will.

⭐️ When asking for help, appeal to people's self interest, never to their mercy or gratitude.- if you need help, do not bother to remind him of your past assistance or good deeds, instead uncover something in your request that will benefit him. - and emphasise it.

Pose as a friend, work as a spy.- knowing about your rivals is critical to keep a step ahead. in polite social encounters, learn to probe. ask indirect questions to get people to show their weaknesses.

Crush your enemy totally. - not partly because that can be even more dangerous as they will be wanting revenge.

Use absence to increase respect and honor.- too much of staying around makes your value go down. if you are already in a group, temporary withdraw from it and it will make you more talked about, and even more admired. learn when to leave. create value through scarcity.

Keep others in suspense: cultivate an air of unpredictability.- humans are creatures of habit with a need to see a familiarity in other people's actions. being predictable gives them a sense of control. be deliberately unpredictable.

Do not build fortresses to protect yourself- isolation is dangerous.- isolation exposes you to more dangers than it protects you from. instead, make/ find ally, mingle.

Know who you're dealing with- do not offend the wrong person- choose your victims and opponents carefully.

⭐️ Do not commit to anyone.- only the fool rushes to take sides. do not commit to any side or cause but yourself. maintaining your independence -> become the master of others.

Play a sucker, to catch a sucker- seem dumber than your mark.- no one likes feeling stupider. the trick is to make your victims feel not just smart, but smarter than you. once convinced of this, they will never suspect that you have ulterior motives.

Use the surrender tactic: transform weakness into power.- when you are weaker, never fight for honor's sake. surrendering gives you time to recover. by surrendering first (before they get the satisfaction of fighting and defeating you) it makes them infuriated and annoyed.

Concentrate your forces.- conserve your forces and energy by keeping them concentrated at their strongest point. intensity > extensity.

Play the perfect courtier.- mastered the art of indirection. asserts power over others in the most oblique and graceful manner. learn and apply the laws of courtier-ship.

⭐️ Re-create yourself.- do NOT accept the roles that society decides for you. forge/create a new identity- one that commands attention and never bores people. 🌙be the master of your own image.🌙

Keep your hands clean.- never to nasty deeds. use others as pawns to disguise your involvement.

Play on people's need to believe to create a cult-like following.- words vague, but full of promise.

Law 1

Never outshine the master.

Keys to power:

Everyone has insecurities. When you show yourself in the world and display your talents, you naturally stir up all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity. This is to be expected. You cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others. With those above you, however, you must take a different approach: When it comes to power, outshining the master is perhaps the worst mistake of all.

Law 34 - Be royal in your own fashion. Act like a king to be treated like one.

"The way you carry yourself will often determine how you are treated: in the long run, appearing vulgar or common will make people disrespect you. For a king respects himself, and inspires the same sentiment in others. By acting regally and confident of your powers, you make yourself seem destined to wear a crown.

As children, we start our lives with great exuberance, expecting and demanding everything from the world. This generally carries over into our first forays into society, as we begin our careers. But as we grow older the rebuffs and failures we experience set up boundaries that only get firmer with time. Coming to expect less from the world, we accept limitations that are really self-imposed. We start to bow and scrape and apologize for even the simplest of requests. The solution to such a shrinking of horizons is to deliberately force ourselves in the opposite direction - to downplay the failures and ignore the limitations, to make ourselves demand and expect much as a child. To accomplish this, we must use a particular strategy upon ourselves. Call it the Strategy of the Crown.

The Strategy of the Crown is based on a simple chain of cause and effect: If we believe we are destined for great things, our belief will radiate outward, just as a crown creates an aura around a king. This outward radiance will infect the people around us, who will think we must have reasons to feel so confident.

Throughout history, people of undistinguished birth - the Theodoras of Byzantium, the Columbuses, The Beethovens, the Disraelis - have managed to work the Strategy of the Crown, believing so firmly in their own greatness that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The trick is simple: Be overcome by your self-belief. Even while you know you are practicing a kind of deception on yourself, act like a king. You are likely to be treated as one."

The stronger your gravitational pull and magnetism is, things start to come to you.

To attract, means to have something things can be attracted to in the first place. If you have no energy, nothing can be magnetised to you. And your efforts to manifest are futile when you are depleted.

Call your energy back from all and any people places things from all and any timelines back into this present moment in this current reality. Cut any negative chords and contracts and consents and retrieve that energy back to yourself.

Become clear in mind, heart , action and let such things reflect the truth of your heart as much as possible and miracles will happen because you’re creating reality as you go, and you’re relying on your inner vision, your inner sight, your third eye, to visualise things into creation. To visualise and create reality into being rather than allowing the collective energies to dictate you. Work with the elements , surrender to them and they will no longer control you. They only control you when you are not aware of them.

Karma will unfold, but when you become aware of it , it means you are now ready to create a change, you are planting a seed for change, and the more you nourish the thought of change the more the seed will grow.

Will you allow yourself to be manipulated by the elements, the planets , or will you allow their natural process to aid your growth?

If you don’t dictate yourself and tell yourself who you are. The gods(planets) nature, will define you. You will allow yourself to be defined. If you don’t sculpt yourself as Michelangelo did David, the ocean will sculpt you just as it would a rock, slowly withering away, with untouched potential. Are you a leader or a follower?

Astrology is a tool to see how one can transmute and allow themselves to be brought closer to themselves, and the world in an authentic way. It tells us, what may limit us, what is in our favour, what hand we were dealt essentially. But what you do with that is up to you. Please remember you are always in control. Learn to work with the gods(planets) and not against them. Understand them, see them for what they are, and when you do,you will no longer feel like the world is against you. See the sky as you see the ocean, as you see the earth, fire and wind. You cannot erase the duality of this universe, and you cannot control the natural flow. You can simply control your response and if you allow yourself to level up or get dragged down.

Will you ascend or descend? That is the question

Being in touch with your sensuality:

On today's episode of ash-says we are going to talk about how to get in touch with your sensuality. Personally it's something I am very passionate about and kind of indulgent too.

Sensuality helps me in feeling alive and in tune with myself. I can't guarantee it for everyone but for me it works wonders. It's like the "Amrut" or "rejuvenating water" (for a lack of better terms) for me. Along with that it's the most healthy way for expressing my sexuality and keeping it in control to not let it affect my day to day functioning.

Here are some ways I incorporated in the last five years of my life to be in touch with my sensuality:

1) Exercise: No matter what I am going to vouch for this always. The way it helps me in expressing the surplus energy and controlling my desires is a chef's kiss. Plus helps in tackling the sluggish feeling.

2) Dance: Especially the slow sensual seductive dance. Not only it's a good outlet but above all that it validates the emotions and creates a space to delve in it to create a beautiful synchronisation with the body movements.

3) Art: Create! Create! Create! Nothing better than creating beautiful art or writing poems, stories,etc to voice your passion for the world and it's offerings.

4) Music: I have playlists on Spotify that specifically cater to my sensual mood. It has all the songs that can set a tone for the bedroom (iykyk). Singing to it or dancing works wonders. It's a magical experience.

5) Meditation: You can meditate on those feelings to internalize it and put all that energy in proper use for achieving a goal,etc. This is something I very rarely do because I am a very active person but putting it out here cause it works for some people.

6)Play Barbie: This is my personal favourite. After all I am just a girl. I put on some makeup, wear a bold sexy outfit or a cute dress (depending on the mood) then spend my time reading a romance novel and listening to sensual songs. It's my kind of therapy🦋🦋

7) Be a model: Being all dressed up but not clicking any photos you got to be kidding me!!! Come on girl! Pose and click! You are not going to be this young again. The best thing I do is this. It literally helps in skyrocketing my confidence. I don't click pictures daily but boy when I do, God forbid!!

8) Unlearn the shame: The basic one. You need to own your body first and appreciate it. I know saying is easy but hey you won't get there if you never start.

9) Imitate things that you find sexy: I will explain this with an example, so I find laying on the bed on my chest with my legs dangling in the air extremely sexy so when I am alone I will lie on the bed in that way as a way of expressing. Secondly, we all know sipping wine while reading a book is incredibly sexy while being dressed all slutty but I don't consume alcoholic beverages so as an alternative I drink pomegranate juice. Plus I find pomegranate as the sexiest fruit for obvious reasons.

10) Invest in things that make you feel sensual and seductive: It doesn't need to be costly. Find your sexy and invest!! For me it's aroma candles, jewellery, deep neck tops, skirts, ribbons, art honestly I have developed a knack to turn any ordinary thing into something seductive atp I feel. Everything works for me. So exploreeee!! If you are experimental enough and don't have parental risks you can try out sex toys too.

That's all for today's show on ash-says. Stay tuned for more illegal tricks and explosive opinions.

The 48 Laws of Power:

by Robert Greene - video link

part 1 <- link

part 2: [28-48]

28. Enter action with boldness- if you are unsure about doing something, do not do it. your hesitation and doubts will effect your execution of it. enter with boldness. any mistakes? correct it with audacity. everyone admires the bold, no one admires the timid.

29. Plan all the way to the end- take into account all the possible consequences, obstacles and twists of fortune.

30. Make your accomplishments seem effortless.- make them seem natural and executed with ease. conceal everything else. act effortlessly as if you could do much much more.

31. Control the options, get others to play with the cards you deal.- the best deceptions are the ones that seem to give the other person a choice. your victims feel as if they are in control.

32. Play to people's fantasies- the truth is often avoided because it can be unpleasant. never appeal to truth and reality.

33. Discover each man's thumb screw.- everyone has a weakness. maybe an insecurity, an uncontrollable emotion/ need. once you find it, you can use it to your advantage.

34. Be royal in your own fashion. Act like a king (or queen) to be treated like one.-the way you carry yourself will determine how people treat you in the long run. a king/ queen acts confident and respects themselves and inspires the same in others. by acting regal and confident, you make it seem like you are destined to wear a crown.

35. Master the art of timing- never seem to be in a hurry. always seem patient as if you know everything will come at the right moment.

36. ⭐️ Disdain things you cannot have. Ignoring them is the best revenge.- by acknowledging a petty problem that you have, you give it existence and credibility. the more attention you pay to someone, the stronger you make them. it is sometimes best to leave things alone. if there is something you want but can't have, show contempt for it. the less interest you reveal, the more superior you seem.

37. Create compelling spectacles- grand symbolic gestures. stage spectacles for those around you.

38. Think as you like, but behave like others.- people will punish you for making them feel inferior. it is safer to blend in and nurture the common touch, share your originality only with people who will appreciate your uniqueness.

39. Stir up waters to catch fish- always stay calm and objectives. make your enemies angry but stay calm yourself. put your enemies off balance.

40. Despise the free lunch- offered for free? it is dangerous. it usually involves a trick, or a hidden obligation. by paying your own way, you stay clear of gratitude, guilt, and deceit. it is also often wise to pay the full price.

41. Avoid stepping into a great man's shoes.- what happens first always seems more better and original than what comes after. do not get lost in their shadow. establish your own course/ identity and story.

42. Strike the shepheard and the sheep will scatter.- you can normally track trouble to a single individual. do not allow people like this room to operate or others will give in to their influence. instead, neutralise their influence by isolating or banishing them. strike at the source of the trouble.

43. Work on the hearts and minds of others- seduce others into wanting to move in your direction. the way to seduce others, is to operate based on their psychologies and weaknesses. soften up the resistant by working on their emotions- playing on what they hold dear, and what they fear.

44. Disarm and infuriate with the mirror effect.- the mirror reflects reality- but is also the perfect tool for deception. when you mirror our enemies by doing exactly as they do, they cannot figure out your strategy. it mocks and angers them, making them overreact.

45. Preach the need for change, but never reform too much at once.- make a show of respecting the old ways of doing things.

46. Never appear too perfect.- appearing better than others is dangerous. but what is more dangerous is to appear to have no faults/ weaknesses. envy -> silent enemies.

47. Do not go past the mark you aimed for. In victory, know when to stop.- by going too far, you make more enemies. do not allow success to go to your head.

48. Assume formlessness.- by having a visible plan, you open yourself to attack. instead of taking a form that your enemy can grasp, keep yourself flexible, adaptable and on the move. accept the fact that nothing is certain.

remember that everything changes.
