Why Do We Give Power Away?

You may have heard the phrase: “Don’t give your power away!” But, for many of us, this statement is devoid of meaning. So, let’s tackle that. What does “Don’t give your power away” actually mean? It means that you likely consented (consciously, unconsciously, or through trickery) to something you didn’t want to agree to, or innerstand, but you still surrendered your authority to it − at least in that particular instance.  

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, 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 innerstand what transpired until the consequences reveal themselves. (When you innerstand something, you know it in your heart; when you understand, you reason with the ego/mind.)

Unfortunately, when you give power away through consent, what you consent to shows up as a power loss in your energy field. Over time, when this happens enough, your authority (internal power) is whittled away little by little. And if one is consenting to abuse or hurtful actions, no matter how insignificant, then rips, tears, and holes can result in the energy field. When this occurs, the energy field will leak, power is diminished, and similar situations are often magnetized to that individual. We call this looping as it becomes a pattern that repeats.

Why is this important to address? 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, and more. Fortunately, giving one's power away can be reversed.  

Here are four ways you can "power up" your life to stop and/or reverse energy grabs:

1. To stop giving power away to a specific thought, feeling, fear, or action, say No, I Do Not Consent while sweeping your hand from left to right to clear your energy field of this power grab attempt. Then say detach to remove your energy and disconnect from the situation/person.

   
   

2. Do not make hasty agreements and decisions. Consider the choices and consequences before you say yes or no. Power give-aways can happen with either option. 

   
   

3. Be clear about saying no to what you do not want in your life. Be clear and firm about what you do want in your life. Words are powerful stuff. The moment you speak a word, it moves into action. As a result, words can be used as spells.  Choose your words wisely. Avoid curse words. Spells and curses have those names for a reason.

   
   

4. Lastly, do not consent to doubts. Doubts are half-hearted attempts at creation. They weaken the power behind your desire. If you have a doubt, say out loud: No, I do not consent to this doubt.

5. Participate in pattern release work. When you identify and release negative patterns, you literally pull charged energy out of your body and field so you don't have to experience the same power grabs over and over. To do this, we explore specific situations that represent the pattern, release what holds them in place, and remove the energy.

In all situations, detach from every person, place and thing. When you detach, you disengage from the energies that influence your energy. Doing this 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.
