The Power of Empowerment
Yay, it’s another Olympic Summer! Have you watched any of the Olympic Trials on TV yet? The dreams! The achievements! The overcoming of obstacles like injuries and fears and financial hardship!
The athletes are brimming with empowerment, and we hear their stories of the dreams they’ve had since childhood, the lifetime of training, and all the twists, turns, and challenges they’ve had to conquer along the way to reach this pinnacle. We have to keep a box of tissues on the couch while we’re watching.
How do you handle the obstacles that get in the way of your dreams? If the Power of Empowerment is not strong and balanced in your life, instead of prevailing against the headwinds, you might hear yourself saying things like this:
- “My career is stuck in the muck and I can’t seem to move forward no matter what I do.”
- “I don’t think I can get through these relationship issues. Turning this around is just too big of a hurdle.”
- “I give up. I just don’t have the time and energy to move through this.”
- “I feel powerless.”
- “I barely even remember what my dreams are, much less have any energy to put into them because I feel so bogged down by life.”
When you’ve lost sight of your dreams, breathe!
Chaya here…
Last July I woke up one morning with frozen shoulder. If you’ve never heard of it, consider yourself lucky. Basically, it’s mind-numbing pain and an immovable arm.
I couldn’t do the most basic things – dress myself, chop vegetables, work on the computer, or anything that required 2 hands.
While getting a session from a Feldenkrais practitioner I remember telling her about the usual 2 year period it takes for frozen shoulder to heal and that I didn’t think I could do it. I was so broken down by the pain and frustration of not being able to move, that I just didn’t feel capable of going through it day after day.
She just looked me in the eye and said, “Yes you can. You are resilient. You will get through this. You’ll get back to all those dreams and things you love to do.”
I wasn’t sure if I believed her, but I hung onto her words like a life raft.
In the end, thanks to grace and some great healing modalities (including Vibrancy Healing Therapeutics first and foremost), less than one year later I have full range of motion and no pain!
So after all, I was resilient enough. I survived frozen shoulder. Next time I have something challenging to face, hopefully I won’t doubt myself and go to that place of powerlessness.
Yesterday, I came across a great quote on Facebook, and it brought a sigh of comfort and a tear of gratitude. Here it is, in case this is a time when you need to hear these words:
Stand your ground, reclaim your dreams,
and move forward with confidence!
When you’re reconnected to the Ultraviolet
Power of Empowerment, you will:
- Take a deep breath, stand firm, and start moving forward step by step, making the changes you need to build a fulfilling career.
- Tap into your resilience and reclaim your determination to make your relationship the pinnacle of success, rather than a dive into mediocrity.
- Be surprised how energizing it is for you to meet your challenges head on, giving the time and energy necessary to surmount them.
- Re-engage with your visions and dreams for your life, and let them (rather the circumstances) dictate your next step forward.
- Be motivated by obstacles rather than deterred by them – they are just another chance for you to live from a place of personal power.
- Fire up the momentum needed to burst through any inertia you’ve been facing in your attempt to live into your potential.
- Hold your ground.
Two Ways to Step into the Ultraviolet Power of Empowerment:
#1: Sing or say this affirmation until you believe it with your entire being:
“I am calm, assertive, and empowered!”
#2: Take 7 – 21 drops of Empower Vibrancy Essence daily. It will help you breathe deep, claim your power to move mountains, and take the first bold step.
Move forward with strength.
“We all have a divine mission on earth. Let that mission be to inspire love and embrace the light within. Let that mission be to have peace in our hearts as we create heaven on earth. Let that mission be to seek empowerment through transformation and to breathe joy into everything we do. If we allow these things to be our mission the golden light of the sun will shine on our souls and change our world forever.”
