Module Three
Cultivating, protecting, and preserving our personal power.
The single highest threat to living in the fullness of our personal power is our willingness to give it away. Throughout the available recorded history of humankind, power struggles have proven to lead to all amounts of discord, war, and atrocities from those seeking to attain any power advantage; leading to such observances as Charles Darwin’s ‘survival of the fittest’ evolutionary theory.
However, throughout all of the many power wars that have been waged historically, it hasn’t been any act of tyrannical rule that has posed the MOST threat to accessing and living in our own personal power, but our lack of dedication to cultivating, protecting, and preserving our personal power.
Consider powerful rulers from the past such as emperors, kings, and queens. To maintain their power to rule, they employed all manner of resources to cultivate, protect, and preserve their power (sometimes unscrupulously); to truly embody the fullness of our PP for a majority of the time, it requires the same doggedness and dedication.
Conversely, when we live our lives on autopilot, with no awareness or second thought given to our personal power, we run the risk of not only allowing our energy and personal power to be diminished, but also of taking on others’ energies and confusing them for our own. The path of the mystic is one of consistent seeking of truth. To fully embody our personal power we must fully understand our own personal truths. When we neglect the work of self-reflection, meditation, and spiritual practices that allow us to be aligned with our own sense of truth, we can feel lost and tossed by the whims of others, and the circumstances of any given day can cause us to be spiritually exhausted, energetically depleted, and emotionally drained. For that reason, this week is dedicated to dispelling any energies that we have picked up that are not aligned with the personal power of our truth, and calling back any of the energy of our PP that we have lost, or given away, along their path.
