The Source of True Power
When we think of the word POWER, what comes to mind?
Electricity? Niagara Falls? Physical strength? A king? God?
Very rarely will a person picture themselves when they think of the word power? This is interesting when you ponder it because we are all made up of power and energy yet we look outside ourselves for a source. As a society, many of us are taught to be detached from our power/source. I am learning this now and am coming to realize that this is by design. When we are not standing in our power, we are easily swayed, we are afraid, we are fractioned and we are certainly not empowered.
As I continue to evolve, within my healing journey as well as support others in theirs, I have been awakened to a deep sense of personal power by connecting to MY source.
What do I mean?
Since I was young, I can remember adults, media, and religion telling me all the things I wasn't capable of and thus I believed it. Not realizing that had I asked them “why?” they most likely would not have had a logical answer. Would they have said “because you are female” or “because you are not smart enough” or “because you don’t have the skills” or even “because you are too sensitive”? Who knows, but whatever the response would have been, there should have been someone, anyone else, in my corner to remind me that none of those things matter and all of their “reasons” why I couldn’t do something were all areas I could evolve into better practices and learn (aside from my gender, obviously). Yet no one said that. No one sat me down and called out“bullshit”. So, I worked and struggled and fought to make my way.
Do I regret the hard work? Absolutely not. I do, however, wish I could have done it out of sourcing my own, onboarded, already existing power, rather than it pumping on hyper drive from a place of trauma and false narratives. This had made me strong yet fragile. Which is sad. I would never wish this for anyone and yet I know I am not alone in how I feel. My work now is to be powerful but gentle.
When we move through life knowing that we are capable of doing great things because we are powerful the moment we are conceived rather than trying to live in a vicious cycle to prove to ourselves and others that we are enough, the rewards and achievements are SO much sweeter. They come with no strings attached! They bloom from us and our pure desires to use our time here on earth to grow into our highest potential.
If you are being told that you can not achieve something, let me be the one in your corner to call “bullshit”. You are powerful, capable, and most definitely enough to achieve greatness. We get in our own way sometimes because we have doubts that aren’t even ours. They have come from generations before and we have the choice to set them down and walk away.
See ya old belief systems! We are mighty and have good works to do!
With love,
