Why Do We Give Power Away?

Writer: Lori SchwindLori Schwind

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, but nonetheless you surrendered your authority to it − 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.

 

Unfortunately, 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 magnetized to that individual.

 

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, and more. Fortunately, giving one's power away can easily be reversed.  

Here are four ways you can "power up" your life with more ease, flow, and grace:

   

  1. To reverse giving power away to a specific thought, feeling, fear, or action, say NO, while moving your hand from left to right to clear your energy field. Then say: I DO NOT CONSENT. This command will establish a boundary, and the sweep will clear the power loss. Then say DETACH to remove your energy from the situation.

  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. They can be used as spells.  Choose your words wisely. Avoid curse words. They are named that for a reason.

  4. Lastly, DO NOT CONSENT to doubts, hopes, and wishes. They are half-hearted attempts to create. And they weaken the power behind creating.


In all situations, detach. Doing so enables you to disengage from reacting to energies so you can observe and respond with clear eyes and a ready heart.
