Reclaim Your Powerful You! – Day 1
Transformative Views of Power
by Veronica Lee
Sometimes power is viewed in a negative light, which is completely understandable when we see the numerous ways power has been misused in our world. Many of us agree with Jimi Hendrix: “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.” Yet, true Power isn’t really about power over anything or anyone at all, nor does it need to be at odds with Love.
True Power is our essence – where Love and Power are one.
As the denser reality plays out its game of love and power as opposing forces, the only way to bring real peace is by reuniting Love and Power within us and demonstrating that in our daily lives. Imagine if every human being embraced and embodied true Power!
To begin your own process of aligning with your true Power, it helps to look at your connotations and feelings about power. Take some time to explore what comes up for you when you think of power.
Exercise: Tools Needed: Paper and pen/pencil Note: You can do this exercise alone or with others. Feel free to share your stories and information after you’re done. You can offer support, but try to refrain from judging what others feel, experience or believe about power. Write the word ‘power’ at the top of a piece of paper (it’s okay if you need more than one piece). Without too much thought, write down everything that comes up for you – words, stories, memories, fears, associations. These can be negative or positive. Write until you feel complete.
