What is self-empowerment, really?In order to understand this concept you need to understand that you, and you alone, are the sole creator of your life experience. Yes, external factors and conditions may affect you - but it's your inner, energetic, subconscious state that creates these factors and conditions. Tune into yourself! When you're not aligned with your own inner power, your inner well-being suffers. You lose touch with not only your power to create the life you want, but also your higher intelligence that will guide you every step of the way. Self-empowerment is about "tuning in" to your higher self in order to regain your power and positive inner well-being. It's about letting go of external influences and creating a positive internal experience first, in order to create the positive external experience you desire. Your external experience is the product of your internal experience... not the other way around like many of us believe. It works from the inside out! You already have everything you needand want. This is a hard concept for many of us to grasp, but every one of us is a whole and perfect being from Day One. We can have, do and be anything we want, as much as we want, at any time. This might sound fantastic but it's true! The only reason that you might not have this freedom is because you've fallen out of tune with a part of yourself. Anything and everything we want, and could ever want, already exists; we only have to tune into it in order to attract it into our life experience. Self-empowerment is all about re-discovering how to do this. That's right: re-discovering. You know how to do this already; you've just forgotten. This happens a lot. You see, we are "de-tuned" from birth by parents, teachers and other individuals who, though often well-meaning, are misinformed and out-of-touch with themselves and pass it on to us. We're also de-tuned by other influences such as our peers and social groups, and by cultural influences like the media, pop culture, television, music and many other sources. Distractions, distractions Some external influences have legitimate social, cultural, artistic and educational value - but many of the popular ones are just bright, loud, flashy, ego-driven distractions... telling you how to look, feel and behave instead of offering you worthwhile information and letting you decide for yourself. And as they are ego-driven, if we're unaware then our ego tends to buy into it very easily. In the process of being drenched in this sea of distractions, we lose touch with our higher self and our real power to create life abundance. We see life as something that happens to us, instead of life being something we manifest from within... something we have absolute power to create. Self-empowerment is about regaining your power! In order to tune back into your power, it's important to become aware of yourself again, and of your mind and ego. Learn to observe your thoughts and be aware of the mind's tendency to wander and chatter. Know that the mind is a very powerful tool that can accomplish miraculous things... but it can also get out of hand and run your life according to ego, cutting you off from your higher self and your true power. Learning a form of meditation or another similar practice is extremely beneficial - I would say essential - to self-empowerment. This is how you learn to separate your true consciousness - your higher awareness, or higher self - from your mind. These things are linked; your mind is a tool for your consciousness to create with. By learning to be aware of your mind, you open up to your higher consciousness and align with your power to use your mind for the immensely powerful tool that it is. Go for it! I prefer terms like "self-empowerment" and "self-realization" to terms like "self-help" or "self-improvement". The latter terms imply that something's wrong; that something is missing. In truth, it's all there for you already - you just need to re-discover it. Stay tuned for more on how you can do this, coming soon!!
