Shift to reclaim Inner Power

Notice true power arises from within and waits on us to unleash it. We access inner power through self-awareness, conscious intention, speaking our truth, pure desire to uplift others and the self. Tapping into our inner power requires making purposeful choices to direct our thoughts, emotions, behaviors and access higher vibrations. Pursuing external power weakens our inner power since it requires external approval or validation. Many of us do this. This is why we must shift focus to “reclaim inner power.”

Reclaiming inner power is about being present, withdrawing consciousness (attention) from what does not resonate with our frequency and acting to continue raising consciousness. This is continuously choosing mindsets, behaviors, and emotions that guide us to walk in love and trust versus fear and doubt. Its like, choosing to give versus take, to surrender rather than to worry. Choose to ground in higher vibrations that emit signals of peace and contentment. This guides one towards the highest version of self. It dawns we each walk in full power when we own and use our gifts in different situations to benefit our collective humanity.

Reclaiming our power also implies not suppressing feelings. Its about creating boundaries to build a sense of safety and see from another's point of view. When we give ourselves space and solitude, soul flourishes.

If you feel triggered, insecure, or mistreated/ betrayed, whether it's really another person treats you that way or it doesn't matter: you feel betrayed and you can no longer receive love or connect; The innate desire to be seen, heard, valued cannot be felt if you hide behind a shield. As you discover innate security, it dawns negative feelings are only triggered and they guide us to deeper truth.

Feeling complete in yourself implies you are not dependent on another and already tune into and live your own truth. You no longer need external validation or acceptance yourself as you are. Relationships truly enrich us from the moment we recognize we are the ultimate source of all we need. This is the path to codependence no more. All experience enriches our journey of awareness.

Stop Playing it Safe

(Visual Art Bill Brouard- @ Visual Alchemy)

Notice what happens as you stop playing it safe, when all of a sudden, something awakens within you that recognizes you are the one that has been holding yourself back. Its the illusion of fear and conditioned assumptions in the mind that keep us feeling small, powerless or stuck. This revelation is the pivotal moment of finally reclaiming inner power, consciously shifting to focus purely on Soul direction and destiny. Trusting intuition allows energy to flow more freely, can involve abruptly letting go of apparent commitments and aspects of life that previously defined you. Being spontaneous opens channels of vision within you that continue to dazzle and amaze. Creative streams of inspiration arise as if from nowhere. Life experience shifts again. 

Access & Unleash more inner power

Notice as lightning storms increase in frequency & intensity, one may sense inner build-up and flow or transmission of other energies. Our life-force is a major Source of internal power. Yet, how to access and unleash it?  We all have it, but not all of us have yet experienced it awakening on a visceral level. Consciousness expands as part of transmutation, in other words, our change in form, nature and substance. This allows us to receive, decode and transmit more light. As consciousness grows, the Sun is recognised not only for its outer physical light and heat which nourish and sustain life on Earth. The inner spiritual nature of the Sun is also felt as “the Heart of the Sun”. This reveals itself as one begins to respond to its subjective pull (the great magnet) of the Sun which not only holds all bodies in its orbit, physically but subjectively, through magnetic and radiatory energies which produce friction, but also awakens consciousness within all forms. This preciptates remembering about solar stargates, and the part of one's Being that feels deeply connected to the Sun. There is more than one reason for this.  All is revealed in and by the Light.

Moving Forward

Every moment, the choice exists as to how we perceive the energy within and around ourselves.  We do not perceive the world as it is, rather we perceive the external based on the state of our internal environment. As consciousness expands, we receive, decode, transmit energy differently.

Moving forward, each of us decides consciously or unconsciously how to function.  We decide whether to allow our perception of the external world to shape how we feel and function or, recognize that how we breathe, feel and vibrate shapes our sense and experience of everything.

Come what may, change is always within reach.  One area of life is interconnecetd to all others. Being present is about living with more clarity, confidence and harnessing unseen power.  Whatever prevents living more fully can be identified and transformed through conscious recognition. Everything can be related to the rhythm of the breath.  Attentive listening is key. 

Get out of that dilemma

I am sometimes asked why share Zen stories as part of my workshops and group sessions. In a nutshell, Zen stories may confuse or leave one hanging, yet they do not impart information or knowledge. They are designed to to get rid of something, to get rid of a false problem with which you are wrestling so that the problem will disappear as the result of understanding the story.  In this way, they invite joining the dots like stars into constellations and evoke eureka moments.

There was a Master walking, engaged in forest meditation with a group of his disciples.  Suddenly, he picked up a tree branch and said to one of the monks, "what is it?" As the monk hesitated , did not answer immediately, the Master hit him with it.  Then, the Master turned to another monk and asked, "what is it?" That monk said, "Give it to me so I can see."   The Master tossed it and the monk hit the Master.  The Master said, "Well, you got out of that dilemma." 

When we look for the mind that seems to be giving us so much trouble and realize it cannot be found, this is a pointer to the solution to our perceived problem. A dilemma is like a physical stick that many people hold within themselves, dwell on, discuss or allow to fester. Focusing on dilemmas harms ourselves. Letting go, going with the flow, acting spontaneously, implies less thinking, and more savouring this moment as it is. A dilemma is a state of mind. Albert Einstein echoes we cannot solve a problem with the same level of consciousness that creates it.  We can always tune in, and allow the rhythm of the breath to guide us. The power resides within.
