Personal Power
One of my favorite quotes is this one…
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
—-from A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.
Even though it is one of my favorites, I have been very afraid to live it. I didn’t feel safe.
We are living in great times where we can be whoever we want to be and wonderful things are happening around us. It is time to completely embrace all that you are and share it with the world. By allowing your light to shine, you really do give others permission to do the same.
Isn’t that what you want for everyone around you? I know I do. I pulled a card from Doreen Virtue’s new deck called Angel Therapy (a beautiful deck if you haven’t seen it) and it was the card of the Solar Plexus Chakra. The Chakra that governs our sense of personal power.
The card suggests calling on Archangel Michael and asking for his help with this… “Archangel Michael, I call upon you now. Please cut any cords of fear from my solar plexus to anyone whom I’ve given my power away to.”
It also says it is safe for us to be powerful and take charge in our life. I am going to do a meditation before bed tonight calling on Archangel Michael’s help and I invite you to do the same if this is a challenge for you. Let’s all embrace our greatness starting now!
