Do The Thing Power Series 3
Happy New Year! January 1, 2012
If I were to teach a class on Power/God training, it may start with a discussion on what power or god means to you. Even though we tend to blanket things together, everyone has their own perception and attitudes about these 2 grand topics.
I suspect many people are intimidated by power because the word conjures images of power struggles, ugly politics, power-suits, corporate greed and war. These are examples of armored power.
As my intimidation of power has given way to open-minded curiosity, the word power brings images like a new-born baby, Jesus, the sun, and Peace.
I feel my power when I feel:
~ Happy
~ Connected to everyone and everything
~ God-like
~ at Peace inside myself no matter what is happening around me
~ Completely responsible for my life
~ Self-sovereign = I am in charge of my thoughts and emotions instead of them
running me. Plus, no blame. I blame no one for "making me" mad.
You have divine power. You are divine power. It is not about money or control or influence. It is about awareness of yourself, and how you interact with yourself and all around you.
My life has been a process of going from fearing my power and running from it. {=living life in the passenger's seat}...to learning about my power and facing it {=living life in the driver's seat}. Through this process it has been very important for me to remember that I am the driver of my life only.
Here is what can help us with our power:
Self-awareness ~ See yourself as a cool science project and be fascinated by what you can learn about your body and psyche. Just learning how to breathe and relax more fully has helped me access my power and embrace it in a safe feeling way.
Simplifying life ~ There are so many distractions like TV, news, fear/worry, focusing on others problems, advertisements, competition, pettiness, guilt. These keep us from getting to know our power. Step by step, eliminate what you can.
Face your fears ~ start with small steps and practice. Make mistakes. It's okay. It helps me to say to myself, "If you weren't afraid to do -----, what would you do?"
Courage feels really good. Practice courage. It accelerates your power.
Sexuality ties in with Power in a big way. Begin to question how your body and more specifically your pelvis is connected to your power. Feel it. Move it. Healthy sex is a connector. Doing The Thing with your sexuality is a topic unto itself we can explore down the road.
Take some quiet time for you. Breathe. Tune in to your amazing core. There is no one in the world like you. Be kind to yourself. Allow at least 15 minutes a day with your passion and build on that time. Whether it's walking in nature, cooking, playing a sport or instrument, helping others or just discovering who you are...what feels good to you is your divine power.
And remember, don't always believe what you think!
Sometimes things we think are wrong with us, (body or psyche) may be improvements in the making. They may be adaptations to our ever changing environment. So instead of focusing on what you think is a problem, ask yourself what opportunity you are being presented with to greater express the powerfully unique being that you are!
What do you want to talk about in the coming year? What are your fears, hopes, visions and plans?
How will you live your Divine Power in 2012?
In Love,
Dana
