Step Into Your Power: The Process I Use Before Speaking or Teaching
We've all felt powerless. Whether it's a passing phase or a default state of being, there's not a person on this earth who has felt in her power at every moment of every day.Only 4 months ago, I had very different beliefs about how you were supposed to step into your power. I used to think that when I didn't possess it, I wasn't doing enough. I was missing something, so I started doing more things to get back to it... which only pushed it further away.I'll tell you more about my discovery of how wrong I was and the weekend days that changed my life next week, but today, I want to share with you the process I use to step back into my power at any moment.And I mean EH-NEE-MOH-MENT.Not when I'm energetically aligned.Not when I'm not depressed.Any moment of any day, no matter how I'm feeling going into it.This is the preparation I use before every speaking engagement and class I teach. In order to hold the room, I have to be completely in my power so that those I want to help can step into theirs.Ready to step into your power? Try this straight-forward process to get there.
STEP 1: Joy Jams
Make a playlist of tracks that help you feel the most connected to love, and set it to repeat. Plug in your earbuds, find a comfy, solitary place to sit and close your eyes. Here's one that you might like.
STEP 2: Get Lost
Get lost in the joy of the music. Let yourself be taken away with the mood of the tracks - let them envelope you in love. Music has an amazing amount of power to help us shift our perspective. Focus all your concentration, energy and thoughts into that feeling.
STEP 3: Affirm Your Power
When I'm thoroughly lost in the energy of the music, I breathe deeply into my power affirmation: MY POWER IS IN MY PURPOSE.Now, that's very specific to me because this is the mantra I live by, but let me open it up to apply to you as well...Even if you struggle with what your purpose is, there is one purpose that all of us have:
Your purpose is to be the light.
The things and people that light you up - that clear, high-frequency feeling that makes you trot off into your day a little lighter - is your purpose.You were sent here for a reason. That is my core belief, and I will keep preaching it until you believe it.When you realize that you are here simply to live in your highest vibrational frequency, the world opens up to you. Because you're not supposed to "do it" any certain way.
Your purpose isn't what you think you should do, but don't really feel all that driven to.
Your purpose isn't just to make a lot of money.
Your purpose isn't anyone else's story.
Your purpose is yours alone, and you will be guided to it by love. Follow what gives you the feelings you find in the above process, and your purpose will be there.Your power is in your purpose, and your purpose is love.I can talk about this for days, but a friend of mine already created a video series that covers this to perfection. Her name is Gabby Bernstein, New York Times best-seller and deemed by Oprah to be a "new thought leader." She has opened my eyes to my purpose and connected me with my power in ways I didn't think were possible.If you constantly find yourself blocked up and confused, I highly suggest you listen to what Gabby has to say.Her video training series is completely free, and it's meant for people who want to become heart-centered leaders. I'm following it right now, and would love for you to join me. Her latest video was just released today and it's called The 3 most common mistakes that block your success (and how to fix them). Kind of perfectly timed for this post, no?Click here to watch the free video, and you'll see just why I effing love her so much. More on that in next Tuesday's post, too. :)I sincerely hope that this process helps you step back into your power, and I'm here for you if you still struggle. Just because you don't get it right off the bat doesn't mean you're doing it wrong or even that it doesn't work for you. Sometimes it takes a little longer to be able to connect to love if your baseline has been to direct negative thoughts at yourself.Don't despair. Healing and love will come when this lesson is over. Know that it will.Stay strong,AmyI’m a proud affiliate of Gabrielle Bernstein’s Spirit Junkie Masterclass Digital training because it literally changed my life.
