Powerful Thinking- Part 1

We are living in a world of great change. Once we realize that we are part of this change, we will better be able to influence it. To do this, we all need to stand up, acknowledge our own power and work together in LOVE. Part of the process of awakening to our own power is realizing what we give our power away to.

My definition of "giving your power away" is the conscious or unconscious act of seeing something outside of yourself as having more power or information than you have within yourself. It can also be described as anything that you look to or give yourself to without equal power. The only exception to this would be giving your power away to a higher aspect of yourself.

In life, we are presented with things that we need to either release or acknowledge. Frequently these are the things that we give our power away to. Most people give their power away to things unconsciously, because they have been conditioned to do so. Some people have been giving their power away for so long it is now a habit. These situations and actions do not normally go away or resolve themselves without us trying to solve them. Instead, they continue to repeat and grow stronger as long as we allow them to exist.

We need to reclaim our power. As we awaken to a higher consciousness, the more power our thoughts, emotions, and actions have in our manifested reality. The things that we give our power away to hold us back and work as lower frequency energetic ties. In order to release these lower frequency ties we first have to acknowledge that they exist. These ties show themselves in our everyday life and continue to do so until we release them. Empowering yourself is the conscious effort to release all things that we give our power away to.

Here are some ways in which we give away our power:

• Many people look to food for security or comfort. Food is only an energy that our body uses to survive. However our world is filled with information that conditions us to think otherwise. For many people this is a major energetic tie, which has been reinforced over several years or even decades. People can also give their power away to food when dieting or eating restrictively. Restricting ourselves from something is another way of giving away our power by telling ourselves that we are not in control.

• No matter how evolved our consciousness becomes, as long as we are in the human body we will have an ego. Most people give their power away to the ego because they know no differently. We trust the voice of the ego because it's the main voice we have always listened to. However, the ego is a separate entity from our true self. It is a self defense mechanism that creates fear and judgment in our life. The only reason the ego speaks through us is because we allow it to. To control the power of the ego, we must learn its voice. When trying to distinguish if a thought or action is created by the ego, ask yourself if it is based in fear or judgment.

• As I mentioned before, fear is created by the ego. Many people have told me that they need fear in their life to survive, or that fear is a natural emotion. Sure it is a natural emotion and so is evil, but few people think of it this way. The truth is that we do not need fear in order to survive. However, when we experience fear, chemical exchanges take place within our cells, which sends our body into survival mode. Living in a state of fear means you’re always in survival mode.

How many times a day do you feel fear? There is the fear of loss, fear of illness, fear of dying, fear of someone else dying, fear of evil or dark energy, fear of other people, and in many cases fear of ourselves. The list could go on and on. Fear is an illusion; you cannot touch it. It is unnecessary to give your power away to fear of any kind. The easiest way to release yourself from the security of fear is choose the security of love. Start thinking and living your life in terms of love.

As we can see, there are a number of different ways that fear can take control of our lives. It is up to us to identify how we let fear dominate our lives and reclaim this power so we can reclaim our lives.
