Many times, people blindly consent to a thought, feeling, word, idea, action, emotion, or even a story without innerstanding what they are consenting to. They give up their power, so to speak, just for the sake of moving on, or to make peace. Sometimes trickery is employed to confuse and obfuscate, and an individual may not comprehend what transpired until the consequences reveal themselves. (When you innerstand something, you know it in your heart; when you understand something, you rationalize with the ego/mind).
Â
What does a power give-away look like? Some real-life examples follow below:
Not being yourself because you will be judged, punished, different, rejected, etc.
Comparing and thinking someone else is "better" because they appear to have more money, success, education, intelligence, attractive qualities, are younger, older, etc.
Choosing to stay silent and not speak up for fear of losing a relationship
Living and acting a certain way to meet others expectations of you
Looking outward for love, validation, approval, self-worth and more
Letting your employer take advantage because you need the job and the money
Treating each connection as a transaction that's focused on "taking/getting" vs reciprocity
Staying in a relationship because you are fearful you won't find another partner or friend
Blaming others for the things you have done
Apologizing and taking the blame for things you did not do
Feeling undeserving after a job loss or layoff - feeling you could have done better
Taking on the role of the "bad one" so another can be the "good one"
Making yourself small to fit in or be liked
Saying yes when you want to say no, but you'd rather give in than deal with the drama
Letting people deceive you or take advantage of your time, talents, kindness, and money
Not wanting to see what's real versus illusion; preferring to keep the blinders on
Feeling stuck but choosing not to make a decision that moves you forward
Denying someone hurt you because you don't want to see the choices you need to make
Unfortunately, when you give power away, what you consent to shows up as a power loss in your energy field. Over time, if this happens enough, your authority (internal power) is whittled away. And if one is consenting to abuse or hurtful actions, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, rips, tears, holes, and gaps can result in the energy field. When this occurs, the energy field leaks, internal power is diminished, and the individual can attract similar situations into their life until different choices are made.
Â
Why is this important to address? Internal power is foundational to your ability to create and to magnetize what you desire in your life. It exemplifies your own unique levels of autonomy, balance, self-love, and abundance. When your internal power is low, your abilities to create and attract what you desire are reduced greatly. And your health and vitality can also decline as your energy field doesn't receive the nourishment it needs to thrive and shine.
Most of the time when people give their power away, it’s in exchange for something they believe is lacking – love, money, health, job, success, etc. But the reasons behind the loss are based in FEAR. Some consciously, others unconsciously, due to conditioning, belief systems, judgements, mass media influences, and more. Power losses can also be due to curses and spells placed upon an individual. Fortunately, power give-aways can be reversed. Â
Here are six ways you can "power up" your life:
 Â
Stop giving power away to negative thoughts, feelings, fears, people, actions, and situations. Say No, I Do Not Consent to this thought/feeling, etc. then sweep your hand from left to right (like a wiperblade) to clear your energy field. Next, say Detach to remove your energy and then Disconnect from the situation/person.
Be thoughtful about the choices you make. Don't make hasty agreements. Consider the options and consequences before you say Yes or No. Power give-aways can happen with either option.Â
Be clear about what you Do and Do Not Want in your life. Words are powerful stuff. The moment you say a word aloud, creation starts fulfilling your request. As a result, words can be used as spells, hexes, and curses. Choose your words wisely. Avoid curse words. Spells and curses are real. With millions using these words daily, each word holds the power to create curses and spells every time you speak them aloud, wish, or think them.
Do not hold or consent to doubts. Doubts are half-hearted attempts at creation. They weaken the power behind your request. If you have a doubt, say aloud: No, I do not consent to this doubt. Delete.
Release all cording. Some people consciously and unconsciously "cord" individuals around them to take their power and control them. These cords are seen only on the etheric level, but they can wreak havoc on the physical body by restricting organ flow and chi that runs throughout the body. Don't cut the cords you see and/or feel. They need to be removed completely. To do this, visualize/imagine silver-violet light around them, and ask your heart-essence to release and transmute them. If they are invasive, and too hard to remove, set up a tune-up or session time with me.
Engage in pattern identification and release work. In my sessions and workshops, I work with clients to identify and release negative energy patterns at an incredibly deep level of their being. Then, we realign and rebalance their field to higher frequencies to welcome in new potentials and possibilities. If you are interested in powering up through quarterly tune-ups, check out the services on my website.
In all situations, detach from every person, place, and thing. This keeps your energy and sovereignty intact when you make decisions, so you aren't influenced by unwanted energies. Equally as important, it enables you to observe situations from a third person point of view, so you can assess and respond (rather than react) with clear eyes and a ready heart.
