I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the rhythms and patterns in my life — the ways my body, mind, and spirit communicate with me, especially on this GLP-1 journey. It’s fascinating how the Hermetic Principles and Universal Laws provide a mirror for understanding these shifts. When I layer in the wisdom of thinkers like Jung, Freud, Welsing, Fanon, Vanzant, and Beckwith, the journey becomes more than metabolic; it becomes deeply transformational.

Here’s my personal reflection on each principle and how it shows up in my GLP-1 experience.

1️⃣ The Principle of Mentalism 🧠

“All is mind; the universe is mental.”

Funny thing about this principle is how it connects directly to cravings and mindset. My old patterns around food were shaped by childhood routines, cultural signals, and early conditioning — a mix of Freud’s subconscious drives and Welsing’s ancestral imprints. On GLP-1, I’ve noticed that hunger isn’t just physical; it’s also mental. When I pause and notice my thoughts around food, I can choose differently — I can step into alignment with my body instead of reacting automatically.

2️⃣ The Principle of Correspondence 🌌

“As above, so below; as within, so without.”

This principle reminds me that my internal state mirrors the external results I see — energy levels, weight, and even mood. When I honor myself with movement, hydration, and nutrient-rich meals, the “below” (my body) aligns with the “above” (my intentions and mindset). Jung would call this integration of shadow and conscious self — seeing the reflection of my inner work in tangible results.

3️⃣ The Principle of Vibration 🎶

“Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates.”

Some days my body feels heavy and resistant — a vibration that mirrors stress or old habits. GLP-1 supports a physical shift, but the emotional and spiritual vibration must shift too. I find that light exercise, dancing, and meditation raise my frequency. Beckwith’s influence resonates here — when my vibration lifts, energy flows, cravings soften, and the mind-body connection strengthens.

4️⃣ The Principle of Polarity ⚖️

Health journeys are full of contrasts: hunger vs. satiety, energy vs. fatigue, setbacks vs. breakthroughs. Polarity teaches me that these are not enemies but partners. If I feel resistance one day, I remind myself: the opposite exists — abundance, strength, clarity. Fanon’s ideas on reclaiming agency echo here: acknowledging the “low” moments doesn’t diminish me; it clarifies the highs and keeps me liberated from self-judgment.

5️⃣ The Principle of Rhythm 🌊

GLP-1 has its own rhythm in my body — hunger cycles, side effect cycles, dose cycles. Life has rhythms too: work, family, emotional cycles. When I honor both, I flow instead of fight. Vanzant’s daily practices fit here perfectly — small rituals, gratitude, reflection, and forgiveness keep me riding the waves instead of crashing into them.

6️⃣ The Principle of Cause & Effect 🔄

Every choice matters — the food I eat, the walks I take, the journaling I do. Nothing happens by accident. On GLP-1, I see cause and effect clearly: consistent doses + mindful meals + movement = measurable progress. The law reinforces responsibility without guilt — it’s empowerment. My body responds predictably when I act with awareness.

7️⃣ The Principle of Gender ⚡

Not just male/female — but the balance of creative and receptive energies. On this journey, I’ve learned to honor both: the discipline to follow my plan and the receptivity to listen to my body’s signals. This principle reminds me that transformation isn’t about force; it’s about balance, intuition, and flow.

✨ Bottom Line

The Hermetic Principles are more than philosophy; they are a map for living fully while using GLP-1 as a tool. They help me understand myself, align with natural laws, and navigate this journey with wisdom, patience, and reflection. Every meal, every walk, every thought is an opportunity to practice integration of Mind, Body, and Spirit.

✍🏽 GLP-1 Soulwork: Journaling Prompt

Take 10–15 minutes to reflect and write:

1. Which Hermetic Principle speaks to me most right now, and why?
2. How have my thoughts, emotions, or habits mirrored my external results lately?
3. Where am I resisting the natural rhythm of this journey, and how can I flow instead?
4. What small daily practice can I commit to that honors my Mind, Body, and Spirit?
5. How can I celebrate the moments when my internal alignment shows up in real, tangible ways?

Remember: “It’s not magic, it’s practice — GLP-1 is the tool, I am the transformation.” 🌿
