How to Best Stop Giving Your Power Away Now
Welcome
“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.” Alice Walker, American novelist, writer, and social activist. Author The Color Purple.
Alice grew up in a rural farming town in Georgia. She was permanently blind in her right eye from a childhood injury. Walker attended the only high school available to Black students. She went on to become valedictorian.
Alice Walker seized the power of life as an activist and writer to benefit others. She also took her power to overcome many life challenges.
Where can you take back your power?
What is Giving Power Away?
- Do you see this in yourself or others?
- Do you allow others to control your actions or thoughts?
- Do you have a need for approval?
- Do you fear conflict?
- Being Over-Responsible
Are you or someone you know taking care of other’s needs all the time? These are situations where you’re not required to do so.
This ability to respond is often based on past family conditioning. We respond from unconscious emotional wounds of childhood.
- Do you still feel over-responsible for how others feel?
- Are you taking care of other’s needs all the time?
- Are you ignoring your own needs?
- Do you even know what your needs are?
- Are you stuck in being over-responsible?
How to Stop Being Over-Responsible
- You can throw off the yoke of over-responsibility.
- You can step out of the toxic swamp of over-responsibility and the burden of suffering.
- Do you know how to nurture yourself?
- Do you have the ability to set healthy personal boundaries.
Take back your own power. This means to set boundaries with others. Learn to say “No” when any demand feels no longer right. This is self-responsibility and self-empowerment. Be true to yourself.
Learn to respond to what feels 100% right within you.
Stay empowered in the flow of life.
How others respond to you is no longer your responsibility.
Self-Responsibility and Self-Empowerment
As an extra sensitive person do you take on other’s energies and emotions?
Do you wind up processing other’s energies and emotions within you?
Do others suck on your vital force i.e. energy vampires?
We experience self-responsibility through self-empowerment. Learn to use outer events and people as mirrors. Rather than blaming or judging others use the outer events as an inner mirror. Check if something similar resides within you.
For example, if someone expresses anger toward you observe within if you also carry anger. Now you have a choice to observe and embrace your anger with compassion. Hold it like a child in a loving embrace.
This practice done regularly will dissolve and heal an unconscious emotional wound.
Practice self-responsibility, empowerment, and nurturing yourself. This is a conscious choice in the present moment.
How to Take Self-Responsibility Healing Your Emotional Wounds
- Focus your awareness on what you feel inside your body.
- Accept and be with the feeling or sensation in the present moment.
- Beware of analyzing, judging or thinking. Continue being the observer.
- Observe the emotional pain. Be the witness – “the silent watcher.”
- Stay with the present moment.
- Be aware of the emotional pain and also being the Witness.
- This witness represents your Higher Conscious Presence.
- Presence heals.
Self-Empowerment
In Karpman’s Empowerment triangle, you move from disempowerment to self-empowerment.
As a victim rescuer abuser, you can take on any of these roles.
An Example of Graduating from Victim Rescuer Abuser Roles
My wife, Lyn, suffered as a Victim of her mother’s alcoholism. As the eldest, she took on the role of mother of the family.
She protected her siblings, the best she could, from her mother’s behaviors.
In my wife’s role, as a Rescuer, she developed extreme codependency.
To Lyn’s credit, as an adult, when she visited her mother, she set strong personal boundaries. That is if her mother had been drinking, Lyn left. She no longer accepted victimization. Lyn graduated from Victim to Teacher.
Lyn and I have graduated from our family patterns of Victims and rescuers. We work now in duo, as Energy Healers and Teachers. Clients experience emotional and spiritual life transformations.
Lyn reciprocates with her gifts to assist me emotionally in my healing. I assist her physical and energetic being.
Lyn no longer gets caught in her critical mind or emotional drama.
My inner child sometimes still falls into the Victim pit of “poor me.” Lyn loving points this out to me “Michael you have fallen into the pit again.”
I have learned what it feels like down in the emotional swamp of the pit. By intent to raise my consciousness, I come out.
I also still wrestle sometimes with wanting to fix and save people.
With more consciousness, I have a choice for responsibility for greater self-empowerment. I can continue with old patterns which keep me locked into suffering. Or I can choose a new paradigm of evolving beyond suffering – a paradigm of joy in life.
Empowerment for Energy Healers
Let’s look at how you as an Energy Healer may be affected. This may also apply to Energy Healers you know.
Your healing work can be affected.
ONE: Clear the Energy in Your Healing Space or Where You Work.
With intent, I use sound with a crystalline grail cup. I use a prayer of Command invoking the Divine. Call on angels and archangels also.
I COMMAND
I command in the name of “Christ and Archangel Michael” that all cords, webs, influences unlike the light, sticky residue, control patterns, anger, fear, all patterns that no longer serve and agreements and contracts out of time from (person’s or entities name) be severed at source and purified by the violet fire from all physical, etheric, emotional, mental, soul, and spiritual bodies, from all times and dimensions, through the quantum and subatomic level of creation, for the highest good of all NOW!
This clearing can be changed as you are guided. It should also be used in both directions from the person and to the person. You will feel the difference between the two and do allow time for each process to occur. Sometimes it takes a while.
Also, Lyn and I use and have client’s clear agreements and contracts out of time. You can use this on an ongoing basis.
Use whatever Divine Beings you resonate with.
You can use the Command in any room in your house, where you work or the place you visit. I have also used it to clear the outside grounds and beneath the ground.
TWO: Failing to Protect Your Energy.
Energy Vampires
Interacting with people socially we take on their energies. Do you feel exhausted when you’re around certain people? These are energy vampires. They consciously or unconsciously live off other people’s energy. You are being drained.
As a law, Energy flows from highest to lowest potential. Raising your energy frequency through chanting, meditation or yoga may not protect you.
Disease or illness is slowed down frequency. Nursing homes and hospitals tend to drain your energy.
Do you believe it’s your job to take on others’ depression, pain, or suffering?
THREE: Your Unconscious Shadow and Inner Child
The purpose of learning to work with the unconscious is not just to resolve our conflicts or deal with our neuroses. We find a deep source of renewal, growth, strength, and wisdom. Robert Johnson, Owning Your Own Shadow
All of us have shadow aspects.
Your shadow is a repressed part of your personality. It connects to your inner child. Many people have traumatic experiences related to their inner child.
The shadow is a repressed dark side we tend to ignore. Your inner child often is unconscious and ignored. This child wants to be in control of your life.
If you or others you know, create a lot of drama in their lives, this is the shadow.
My wife, Lyn, and I surrender to the Divine to assist our clients. This is for the highest good of all.
FOUR: Create an Energy Circuit
Place two hands on the client. This creates a circuit.
Connecting with the Divine helps when you feel drained.
You may still feel drained at the end of a session. Then do a command to clear the client’s energy.
Lyn and I always clear a client’s energy at the end of a session.
FIVE: Channel Energy from a Higher Source.
A Higher Source is your Higher Self/Soul, Christ or the Divine.
At the beginning, say a prayer. With Angel Healing, I invoke, Angels Please Heal.
You can call on specific Angels, such as Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, etc. I also call on the client’s spiritual guides. The clients also call on their guides when they need help healing.
When people exit the body, Lyn and I call on the Highest Good for that person. We wait until we see/feel the person move into the higher realms.
In healing with a client, I continuously use mantras. Lyn holds a strong connection with the Divine. She also hears the Divine instructing her what to say or do. This allows the highest transformation for the client.
SIX: Your Intuitive Gifts
1. Claircognizance or Direct Knowing.
2. Clairsentience, Feeling energy in your body and the client’s body.
3. Clairvoyance, Inner Vision.
4. Clairaudience, Inner Hearing.
What gifts do you have?
I have direct knowing. Also, I sense words. Sometimes, I receive images.
Lyn has inner vision and clairsentience.
