What is it? How do we get it? What does it even mean?
Power a (1) : ability to act or produce an effect (2) : ability to get extra-base hits (3) : capacity for being acted upon or undergoing an effect b: legal or official authority, capacity or right 2a: possession of control, authority or influence over others b : one having such power; specifically : a sovereign state
Power means having influence, having authority and the ability to have that authority or the ability to act.
No wonder people sell their firstborn for it or their Souls!
As we have witnessed in history, for some having the power to influence the masses and their riches is worth going to war for…
Human being 101 seems to be: the minute we are born…we are taught to give our power away.
Most of us can agree that we are made of energy. That energy cannot be destroyed or created.
We give our power (energy) away in many ways everyday:
• “Well, she’s making more money in her business that I am…something’s wrong with me”
• “My relationship is ending…everyone I know is married. I must truly SUCK.”
• “My parents are right. I can never close the deal.”
• “My partner/boss/job/parents/upbringing/society don’t let me be who I really AM!”
• “I’m fat/ugly/old/too skinny/dumb/stupid.”
Power is actually at the heart of being able to access your intuitive abilities.
So it follows that a definition of power can be the innate energy that we are born with to live our lives, enjoy our lives and live out our soul purpose.
In every statement…we have handed our ability to act or our energy to break through to what we want.
In essence our beliefs, our words and our actions start reflecting a structure a process where we automatically start to give our power away.
We are born with this amazing ability to be sovereign onto ourselves, to decide, to create…yes, to MANIFEST.
This beautiful creative energy is then layered upon with stories/beliefs/patterns passed down by family, culture, society, religion and government. You name it and you’ve encountered it. Yes, programming.
It’s not done maliciously. It’s done so you will survive. Keep your head down so they won’t shoot it off. Dress and speak the same so you won’t be singled out. Be part of the pack to survive. Laws that the reptilian part of the brain we still carry, wants us to uphold so we will survive.
The thing is…we don’t need that anymore! Thank the Universe for that! Mostly in this world (sadly not all parts) we have more freedom than ever before yet we continue to drag all those layers around us AS IF they are real, unbreakable, carved in the stone of our being. Our being is not stone.
The beliefs/stories/laws of the tribe can shape the lens from where we look from but not the true essence of what we are.
When we give our power away we often suffer:
• Bad health
• Depression, anxiety
• Stress
• Lack of self-confidence
• Lack of accountability
• Unhappiness and discontent
• Lack of gratitude and an overall YUCK and UGH energy
• Inability to commit
• Not-so-hot relationships
• Lack of direction at work
