The External World Replicates the Internal Agreements We Make with Ourselves


Have you ever noticed that your external circumstances often mirror your inner thoughts, beliefs, and agreements? It’s as if the world around you responds to the energy you emit, recreating the internal conversations and contracts you’ve signed with yourself—whether consciously or unconsciously.

This concept is rooted in both spiritual teachings and psychological frameworks. When we talk about the external world replicating internal agreements, we mean that the situations, relationships, and experiences you encounter are reflections of the internal dialogues and decisions you’ve made about who you are and what you deserve. Understanding this principle can empower you to shift your reality by focusing inward.


Internal Agreements: What Are They?

Internal agreements are the beliefs and narratives we hold about ourselves, others, and the world. These agreements are often subconscious and can be influenced by our upbringing, societal conditioning, and past experiences. They might sound like:
  • “I am worthy of love and respect.”
  • “I always struggle with money.”
  • “People always betray me.”
These statements form the core of how we navigate life. Whether positive or negative, these internal contracts shape the energy we radiate and, in turn, influence how the external world responds.

The Reflection in the Mirror of Life

Imagine that your life is a mirror, reflecting the quality of the agreements you’ve made with your inner self. When you’ve agreed internally to live in fear or self-doubt, that energy seeps out and invites experiences that reinforce those beliefs. But when you choose to rewrite your agreements from a place of self-love, abundance, and confidence, the mirror changes, and your external life reflects this new, empowered state.
For example:
  • If you believe you’re not good enough, you might consistently attract situations or relationships where you feel undervalued or unseen.
  • If you’ve decided that financial struggle is inevitable, you might unconsciously self-sabotage opportunities for wealth.
  • On the flip side, if you believe you deserve happiness and success, you’re more likely to find yourself surrounded by opportunities and people who uplift and support you.

Inner Alignment Creates External Transformation

The key to transforming your external world lies in first transforming your internal agreements. Inner alignment refers to bringing your beliefs, thoughts, and emotions into harmony with your true desires. When your internal world reflects your highest self, your external reality will naturally follow suit.
Here’s how you can start making new agreements with yourself:
  1. Self-Awareness: The first step is identifying the internal agreements you’ve been living by. Take time to reflect on the patterns in your life. What are the repeating themes? What thoughts or beliefs do you notice playing out in your mind? Are they serving your highest good?
  2. Challenge Limiting Beliefs: Once you’ve identified your current agreements, ask yourself whether they are truly aligned with who you want to become. If they’re limiting, challenge them. For example, if you believe you’re unworthy of success, ask yourself, “Why?” and then counter that belief with evidence of your worthiness.
  3. Rewrite Your Internal Contracts: Create new internal agreements that align with your desires. These could be affirmations or statements that reflect the life you want to experience. For example, “I am deserving of love, abundance, and joy in all areas of my life.”
  4. Act in Alignment with Your New Agreements: It’s not enough to simply rewrite your internal beliefs. You must also take action that supports these new agreements. If you’ve decided you’re worthy of success, start behaving as though you are. Pursue opportunities, engage with people who uplift you, and let go of situations that no longer serve your growth.

Kundalini Yoga and Inner Agreements

In Kundalini Yoga, we often talk about the connection between inner energy and external reality. The practice of Kundalini helps us break through old patterns, dissolve limiting beliefs, and tap into our highest potential. Through breathwork, meditation, and mantras, we clear energetic blocks that have kept us tied to disempowering internal agreements.

By aligning your chakras and raising your consciousness through these practices, you can rewrite your internal story and radiate the energy that attracts abundance, love, and peace. Your external world will naturally begin to shift in response to this elevated state.

Final Thoughts: You Are the Architect of Your Reality

Understanding that your external world replicates the internal agreements you’ve made with yourself is a powerful realization. It places you in the position of creator—reminding you that you hold the power to reshape your reality by starting from within.
When you take the time to heal, shift, and align your inner self, the world outside begins to mirror that transformation. You’ll find that as you elevate your consciousness and make empowering internal agreements, your external circumstances will rise to meet the new standard you’ve set.
