The days of relying on gurus or ascended masters to be your authority are now gone; you are your own inner authority. While others can guide you, the impetus to allow your authentic power to flourish and anchor can only come from you. There is no other place than your own inner Spirit from which the highest expression of you as love can unfold.
When you allow yourself to be the empowered being that you truly are, you bring together several elements, which when combined, are greater than the sum of its parts – a synthesis that makes for a powerful creative energy. For your consideration, these are my inspired definitions of some essentials. You may add to this or clarify your own truth. If you feel called, for each contributing aspect, ask yourself, “In my daily living, how congruent am I with this?”
Confidence and Conviction My source of security, approval, worthiness and wholeness comes from within me, and my trust in myself extends to certainty in my purpose and the courage to fulfill it. I am guided by clarity and wisdom.
Vulnerability I am willing to be seen and heard in my truth, including the expression of my feelings, without fear of judgment. I am open with others and myself because to be otherwise is self-abandonment.
Living Truth I live in compassionate, neutral witness of illusions that distort or deny my infinite self – emotional triggers, projections, struggles for control, dramas, defenses, coping strategies, fears and limiting beliefs that keep me in contraction and separation – and take full responsibility for my healing, honouring all my experiences as opportunities for soul expansion.
Fearlessness I live beyond negative ego as my reality, and surrender in trust, knowing that my experiences are always for the highest good of my soul’s growth, and that I am held by the Divine order of Creation and universal harmony.
Vision I invest all levels of my being (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) in a captivating possibility, which is aligned with my soul’s purpose and Divine will, to intend it to manifest into my reality. My felt sense of this future-present creates focus and discernment in my choices and actions.
Assessing the degree to which you are aligned with these elements would naturally lead you to also ask, “What needs to change in my life to bring myself into greater alignment with my definition of authenticity?” Then, to honour yourself, act on your discoveries. If you keep running into roadblocks, my healing services are highly beneficial in helping you to effectively clear your path.
There may be many times when you, like everyone, are challenged to meet yourself in your power, so gently acknowledge that choosing authenticity is a conscious practice that you are doing your best to nurture. In addition, while there is intensity afoot, and perhaps a sense of urgency, to harness the potent, transformative energies of 2012, remember that a hallmark of authentic power is a rootedness in the now moment; there is no need to push or pull on yourself or others, but rather hold yourself with acceptance as the highest possible expression of love in this moment. In turn, you create the highest good for all.
