If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that a truly self-empowered state comes from a feeling deep within. It comes from feeling, with my whole body and soul, that the Universe sees me as a vital part of it. When I feel into how much the Universe loves me, how it just knows it would be incomplete without me, I can feel how truly loved and supported I am. I can feel the love in my heart, the love that connects me to all the beautiful things I dream of. I can feel God shining onto me, and I feel myself shining back. As we commune and I drop my walls I feel like I'm coming home. I can feel the power of higher dimensions of consciousness guiding me, wanting me to succeed. They want me to feel happy and expanded and safe and powerful because I am as important to to the Universe as the whole Universe is to me. If one cell in my body, one single cell, fell into dis-ease I would give it unconditional love and support. I would send it waves of love, nourish it with good food, drink plenty of water, and all in hopes that it returned to health and harmony. I would do this, because it is a part of me, each cell is vital in making me whole. You are the same to the Universe. The Universe wants you to be happy, healthy and whole because without you, it's incomplete. When I feel into that, into the knowing that vast and powerful resources are asking, begging, pleading with me to stop trying so hard and to let them help, I feel empowered. I feel it's all okay, it's all taken care of. And that is what I love the most. I feel it. I feel it as I go about my day. I don't have to think it or affirm it or keep reminding myself of it. Whenever I feel lost, alone, sad or scared I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and I feel that the atoms of my body are composed of the same material as the stars. Then I feel the cosmic connection I have to those stars, and then I feel the power, the literal power of all that mass, all that hydrogen burning and churning and crushing down on a core so hot it lights up entire worlds. This state of empowerment within me feels like warmth. It feels like ease. It feels good. Really, really good. And that's all being self-empowered is. Feeling good from within. If you need a little boost with your own sense of self-power, I've made a guided meditation to help tune you in and reconnect you to all that you are. You can play the abridged version above (via SoundCloud) for free. It's 11 minutes long and contains beautiful background music called "Heaven and Earth," by Christopher Lloyd Clarke. Good morning!
Today is a new day. This day has NEVER happened before. As the powerful creator of your life, you have the power to decide what kind of day you will have. Breathe into your spirit and see it as a white light. Breathe out all your worries and doubts. As the day goes on, breathe out anything that doesn't feel good. When stress comes up, breathe in love and breathe out stress. When worry happens, breathe in trust and breathe out worry. Use your breath like a rudder, steering you through the day. Your breath is your direct link to your personal power. I wish you an amazing day! For more inspiration, self-love, and meditations follow me on Facebook and Instagram. I love seeing the magic of the Universe at work
I love being in alignment I love how my life unfolds when I'm in the flow I love how it feels when things workout for me I love how it feels when I'm in a space of allowing I love how it feels when I know I'm taken care of I love knowing I am loved by the entire Universe I love knowing the Creator of All That Is feels my every desire I love knowing I have a powerful internal guidance system I love seeing the beauty of this world I love seeing flowers blossoming I love seeing butterflies and ladybugs I love watching hummingbirds I love knowing I am a part of the beauty of this world I love knowing that Love is the core of everything Take a deep breath Let it slow The following is from Eat Pray Love. "Groceries" is a nickname Elizabeth Gilbert was given by her friend at the Ashram. "But I really loved him." "Big deal. So you fell in love with someone. Don’t you see what happened? This guy touched a place in your heart deeper than you thought you were capable of reaching, I mean you got zapped, kiddo. But that love you felt, that’s just the beginning. You just got a taste of love. That’s just limited little rinky-dink mortal love. Wait till you see how much more deeply you can love than that. Heck, Groceries—you have the capacity to someday love the whole world. It’s your destiny. Don’t laugh." "I'm not laughing." I was actually crying. "And please don't laugh at me now, but I think the reason it's so hard for me to get over this guy is because I seriously believed David was my soul mate." "He probably was. Your problem is you don’t understand what that word means. People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants.

There's no denying that being in nature is healing to our mind, body, and spirit. When we're around the natural world, we slow down, breathe deep, and remember how majestic it is to be alive on this planet.
In this episode, we're going to bring the healing power of nature to us. We're going to visualize ourselves walking down a beautiful trail in nature. We'll feel the peace and awe of being in this exquisite space. We'll meditate on life and how this world supports its own creations. And then we'll meditate on ourselves, and our own integral role in the web of life. |
When I think of creative entitlement, I think of the poet David Whyte. He says that one of the qualities that you have to cultivate to have a spiritual and creative life is what he calls the "arrogance of belonging."
I love the re-appropriation of the word arrogance. And what the arrogance of belonging is, it's not pumping your first in the air and saying "I am the best." It's putting your hand on heart and saying, 'I Am.'
That's it. I am recognizing that I'm here. And I'm part of this story. I'm part of the human family. I'm part of what we're all creating here.
I'm not going to pretend that I'm not here.
There's a great Leonard Cohen poem in his recent book where he says something like, 'If there were no other artists in the world, my art would be very important. But there are are, and they're really good, so I'm willing to take my place at the end of the line, and to keep making art.'
Now that's the arrogance of belonging, which is saying, "I belong in the line." I'm not sure if I belong at the front of the line, or the back of the line, but I'm going to put myself in line along with all of this. The humility that is intrinsic in that is not the false humility of self-deprecation, which is not humility, but a kind of a sin.
Self-deprecation is a sort of violation of the remarklebeness of you.
The exceptionalness of you. The extraordinary miracle of the human life. It's a sort of a sin to pretend that you're not a big deal. You exist, and you have consciousness, and you have dreams, and you're here. It's extraordinary.
