Creating Authentic Power

In this day where power grabbing is so prevalent, it's fun to remember that authentic power never seeks to dominate or divide people. This is a short read and maybe you can pick up some tips for cultivating your deep authentic power. I have started this work and can tell you, it increased my peace of mind and ability to love.

Love you all, Lynda


Guidelines for Creating Authentic Power - Seat of the Soul Institute


Commitment – MAKING MY SPIRITUAL GROWTH MY HIGHEST PRIORITY

Focus on what I can learn about myself all the time, especially from my reactions (such as anger, fear, jealousy, resentment, and impatience), instead of judging or blaming others or myself. Pay attention to my emotions by feeling the physical sensations in my energy centers (such as my chest, solar plexus, and throat areas). Pay attention to my thoughts (such as judging, analyzing, comparing, daydreaming, planning my reply, etc., or thoughts of gratitude, appreciation, contentment, openness to Life, etc.). Pay attention to my intention (such as blaming, judging, needing to be right, seeking admiration, escaping into thoughts (intellectualizing), trying to convince, etc., or cooperating, sharing, creating harmony, and revering Life).


Courage – STRETCHING MYSELF BEYOND THE LIMITED PERSPECTIVES OF THE FRIGHTENED PARTS OF MY PERSONALITY Take responsibility for my feelings, experiences, and actions (no blaming). Practice integrity at all times (often requires action, such as speaking when frightened parts of my personality don’t want to speak and not speaking when they feel compelled to speak). Say or do what is most difficult (sharing what I notice, if appropriate, when someone speaks or acts from a frightened part of his or her personality; sharing about myself what I am frightened to say and know what I need to say).


Compassion – SEEING MYSELF AND OTHERS AS SOULS WHO SOMETIMES HAVE FRIGHTENED PARTS OF THEIR PERSONALITIES ACTIVE 

Change my perspective from fearful to loving (choose to see myself and others in a loving or appreciative way). Release any distance I feel from anyone. Be present while others are speaking (not preparing replies, judging, etc.).


Conscious Communications and Actions - STRIVING TO MAKE ALL MY INTERACTIONS CONSCIOUS AND LOVING 

Consult my intuition. Choose my intention before I speak or act. Act from the healthiest part of my personality that I can access (rather than caretaking, fixing, teaching, judging, blaming, gossiping, etc.). Speak personally and specifically rather than generally and abstractly (use “I” statements rather than “we” or “you” statements). Release attachment to the outcome (trust the Universe). If I find myself attached, begin again with Commitment, Courage, and Compassion. And remember to enjoy yourself!
