Your thoughts and emotions are involved in a constant interplay with our environment. To bring more of your creative power to bear in the creation of your life you can work with energy from both the inside- out and the outside- in! The mind is an important and powerful influence no matter which direction you choose. It holds both the problem and the solution to achieving greater mastery of your life.

  Our minds are always with us… busy, constantly engaged with analyzing, labeling, planning, or preoccupation with a variety of concerns, worries, and stresses. When we are focused on these mental states our energy fields are affected. Habitual thoughts, positive or negative, create ripples throughout our being that have repercussions on an emotional and physical level. They also influence choices, decisions and the ability to move forward in our business and personal worlds.

 So, one very simple yet powerful way to be in charge of your energy is to be in charge of your mind. Start to become aware of the daily conversations in your head! You may be surprised by the stream of chatter, an ongoing commentary regarding life: events, experiences, people, places and things.

 This chatter tends to be based on beliefs formed at various times in our lives. They may be the result of one strong event or an accumulation of messages received over time. Attitudes are formed upon the beliefs and behavior follows. Many of the beliefs we live with were formed in childhood and have never been explored by an adult mind to determine if they are still useful!

 Sometimes it may be difficult to discover beliefs from the level of the everyday mind. This is one reason why tools such as imagery, visualization, self hypnosis, relaxation and meditation are so beneficial. They help us drop below the level of the chatter and observe from a broader perspective. These techniques have many health benefits as well as being pleasant and easy to use.

 There are other simple ways to begin to harness your mind’s power.

“…until we consciously learn to override the pervasive low frequencies in which we exist, we will keep recycling unpleasant outcomes into our lives day after tiresome day.

Just like swimming in salt water, if we don’t wash off the residue, sooner or later it’s going to make us mighty uncomfortable.”

Lynn Grabhorn, Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting.

This quote speaks to the quality of our energy and how it impacts us in our daily lives, but I think the concept of “consciously overriding” can lead us astray as to what is truly needed.  Many try to use thought control to shift their energy or circumstances when in fact a deeper emotional shift is what is necessary. Conscious awareenss at the level of thought is a first step. Then we must choose to do what is needed at an emotional/energetic level to truly get a shift of energy within ourselves and then in our lives. Effective change of frequencies is actually accomplished from another level of consciousness than a mere cognitive one.

In the last post we talked about power VS force, consciousness and what  personal power means to each individual.

Here are some questions that can help you begin to shift your sense of  personal power throughout the day and become more in charge of your life experience.

 What is your predominant emotional tone?

 Do you check in periodically with yourself and note  how you are feeling and what your energy level is?

 Is your breathing full and easy, bringing in lots of oxygen and energy?

 How are you feeling in general?

 How do different daily situations affect you?

 Which ones generate stress, anger, sadness, frustration?

Do you take time to identify and release difficult feelings, thoughts, physical tensions from your system?

 Can you take time and create a space between a stressful event and your reaction? Would you like to be more responsive and less reactive?

 Most of us need to practice becoming more aware of what is happening inside and discovering and practicing ways to release stress from our systems. The choice to do so is a huge step toward claiming our power to create lives we love to live.

 A key concept in learning to live from the inside out using energy and consciousness is understanding the difference between personal power and force. Personal power means different things to different people and even different things to the same person, depending on many factors, including: life stage, level of consciousness, personal experience and predominate belief system.

 When you hear the words “personal power, “what comes to your mind? When we have asked that question in our classes we hear responses like:

1.  Presence
2.  Balance
3.  Choice
4.  Being present
5.  Knowing
6.  Happiness
7.  Inner Peace

 These answers bring up another question for exploration: does personal power come from having these feelings or are these feelings an outgrowth of embodying the essence of personal power in your core?

Once you answer the previous post’s questions re: creativity, you may want to take a deeper look at how you can approach life with more creative awareness. Reflect upon these more specific questions to gain a deeper insight into your patterns.

 What is necessary to bring a creative style to your life and to cultivate it?

 Do you have a space of your own where you nurture your creative nature and drive? How can you create one?

 Do you have the physical energy to fuel and birth your creative output? If not, what needs to happen to build that energy?

 Do you have the emotional energy – the passion – to fuel and develop your creativity? What needs to happen so this can develop?

 Do you take the time to nurture your soul, the place where creativity originates? How can you decide to change this and make time to breathe soul into your life?

Whenever we are wishing for something to be different from what it is, we are energetically holding it in our lives.

In our culture the word surrender is loaded with negative connotations, such as giving up, wimping out, being weak, unable to cut it. However, surrender in the context that we are using it is a deep feeling of letting go of struggle and conflict: it is about accepting what is in the moment, not fighting it – accepting the reality even as we seek to see what can be done to change or move beyond it.

 Surrender helps to bring your heart into coherence through the inner peace and calm it generates. To truly surrender we need to let go of wanting, yearning, wishing, needing and directing. When we are in these states, our focus is on what we feel we don’t have. We are in a vibration of lack or scarcity. Sometimes we become stuck and even paralyzed by these feelings.

Since our energy reflects our inner state, it is stuck, paralyzed, not moving, so it holds us in place rather than moving freely so it can be channeled in a stronger, more positive direction.

 When our focus is on what is missing from our lives, we create more of what we feel we don’t have. We create more of what is missing. Developing an attitude of acceptance – acceptance of the way things ARE – enables you to move beyond patterns of resistance and bring peace to your heart. Acceptance does not mean that something or someone is right or wrong. Acceptance is acknowledging things just the way they are now. It’s just allowing them to be, without judgment. Judgments tear at our energy and do us much more harm than the person, place or thing that we are judging.

Shift now, avoid the rush!
