You've Always Had The Power, My Dear... You Just Have To Learn It For Yourself
Years ago when I heard this in "The Wizard of Oz" and through my spiritual teachers,
I didn't quite understand what this power was or where within me I could access it.
Well, through much trial and tribulation, amazing luck and destiny,
I found it all truly was within me.
The power to not only survive, but to thrive.
I call this "Surthrival"...
I want to share my journey of healing that gave me my power back with you in the hope that it helps you.
We can access our inner powers of courage, conviction, happiness, joy, love, wealth, and health.
All we need to do is tune into ourselves.
We do this by being mindful of our thoughts, emotions, words and deeds.
Thoughts truly become things.
We ARE that powerful
We need hope, faith and belief all will work out for the highest and best good.
Hope is:
Holding Onto Promising Expectations.
Hope is also the anchor to faith.
Faith can't exist without hope.
Faith is:
Forseeing Amazing Imaginative Things Happen.
Belief is:
Believing Everything Loving Is Expected Fortune
In other words, great expectations.
When we expect things to go right they will
When we expect things to go wrong they will.
~ Rev. Sue
It's all how we perceive ourselves and our world, too.
We live in a Reflective Reality.
Whatever thoughts, feelings, emotions and words we project out go right back to us.
I call this"The Cosmic Boomerang".
If we truly love ourselves, we will attract people and situations that will reflect this back to you.
The same is also true if we don't love ourselves or think negatively all of the time.
People and situations will be attracted to us like a magnet to reflect this back, too for us to heal.
I learned all about this through the book and documentary "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne
I delved a bit deeper into reflective reality and learned about
The 7 Essene Mirrors from Gregg Braden
The 7 Essene Mirrors of Self are:
I wrote down on a piece of paper all the mirrors above and
who in my life reflected these things back to me.
I was amazed, to say the least.
Some of the deeply seeded issues I had started to surface.
I recognized, felt, dealt and healed myself of these.
You can heal your life through affirmations and monitoring your thoughts.
I would like to make note that
Louise L. Hay has a breakthrough book that has not only helped me but many other people, too:
The next step for me was feeling my feelings then letting them go:
Through both "You Can Heal Your Life" and "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die" I learned that when we avoid, numb or dismiss our feelings they actually become what I call "issues in our tissues".
I need to share an amazing therapy I have been using for the past few months.
I have been using Accelerated Resolution Therapy which has been used for people with deep traumas such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder such as myself and it has been nothing short of miraculous for me.
This therapy helps you deal with things past and present by calming the parasympathetic glands, which are your fight-or-flight response organs.
The practitioner moves his/her hand in a fast, back and forth manner. You have to breathe deeply and watch the practitioner's hand. Meanwhile, you are asked to "walk through" a particular situation, past or present that made you hold on to it.
Then you are asked to go to an imaginary bridge to emotionally let these things go.
Afterwards, you are asked to mentally put up a canvas and picture what you want out of this situaton.
I could literally "feel" the longstanding issues I had avoided, numbed and dismissed leave my body.
Both Yoga and Tai Chi have similar effects as these too connect the mind, body and spirit.
But for me, the Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.) was the best as I could literally feel the issues leave my organs as they twitched and got warm.
For the first time in years I could actually "feel" the food I was eating, too.
I could finally shut off the "feed me because i'm emotional" button.
Food was the vice I used to help numb and avoid what I was feeling.
I would literally inhale what I was eating.
People would look at me in awe of how much I ate.
It took some years but eventually I gained a lot of weight... to the tune of 100+ lbs.
I just couldn't "feel" full.
My "love tank" was running on empty.
...The love I had for myself.
In Doreen Virtue, Ph.D's book
"Constant Craving: What Your Food Cravings Mean And How To Overcome Them"
I learned why I craved certain foods and how my brain was trying to self-medicate from the emotional pain through these cravings.
Once you uncover what's really holding you back emotionally,
you can heal this and get your power back.
We all have the powers of perception, projection and reflection.
We need to use these wisely because not only do we affect ourselves, we affect others too.
We cannot hide whatever negative emotions we feel inside, it will show up as disease, people and situations that will reflect back to us like a mirror as these very same things to shine a light on healing the issues we have.
Feeling, dealing and healing is a big step in getting our power back.
Prayer and meditation help, too.
Prayer is petitioning God for help in a situation or for other people to heal.
I actually have something called a "God Box", a kind of special delivery prayer box that I write down all concerns for myself and other people and put it in the box.
I have to honestly say that this works.
Most of my prayers have been answered between a week and a few months.
Other prayers I know will come to pass in God's divine timing.
Like the Rolling Stones song "You Can't Always Get What You Want"
Some prayers don't get answered for a reason: God wants BETTER for you.
Violet Flame Decrees have literally changed my life, too.
Here's one that helps with financial situations, this is the decree I use for abundance:
I say this 3x and visualize green and white flames going through and around myself.
I AM free from fear and doubt, Casting want and misery out, Knowing now all good supply Ever comes from realms on high. I AM the hand of God's own fortune Flooding forth the treasures of light, Now receiving full abundance To supply each need of life
Decrees are statements exactly like positive affirmations.
St Germain, the Saint of Alchemy a.k.a. transformation used these to change financial, emotional, physical and spiritual situations around. Even healing the Earth.
I use the Tube of Light Protection Prayer every day.
There are also Violet Flame Decrees that call upon St. Michael The Archangel, the angel of protection, too.
Meditation is how we hear God's answers to our prayers.
There is a gap in between thoughts, it is called Japa.
This is where God and the Holy Spirit speak to you.
We can open up to this by sitting in an upright position, arms and legs uncrossed.
Then we can visualize in our mind a flower growing on the top of our head to receive sunlight that goes into the flower and penetrates the body.
In the beginning you will hear much chatter and you will need to focus on the word "LOVE" pass by you and this will help quiet the chatter.
After you are done meditating it is very important to close down by visualizing the flower closing it's petals and sinking back into your head.
Closing the flower down will stop the flow of information coming to you because if you don't, it will feel like "information overload".
We have 7 main power centers in our body, they are called Chakras, a.k.a. "The Wheels of Life" as they actually spin and create a magnetic, vibratory field called
The Human Auric Field commonly known as "aura"
Here is a diagram explaining what Chakras are:
Below is a link to a site that explains each of our 7 main chakras: http://www.chakras.info/
Below is a diagram of the Human Auric Field a.k.a. "Aura" which is generated from our chakras.
Below is a link for a more in-depth explanation of the 7 layers of the aura:
I am pictured below with Kirlian Photography, a special camera that can show your aura.
Despite my smile I wasn't a happy camper.
The Aura doesn't lie.
The muddy red in the background showed the anger I was feeling that day.
My Aura was depleted and there were "dips" in it.
I felt I was losing my power.
Notice the muddy red "blobs" leaving my aura.
Below is the Kirlian photo I took 3 months later after doing the healing work on myself.
Yellow is the color of the Navel a.k.a. Solar Plexus Chakra which has to do with power.
I got my mojo back.
Now, the smile I had was for real.
Besides dealing and healing the issues I had, I also learned through being a certified
Reiki Master that you can heal any blockages in your chakras and damage to your aura through
Reiki Energy Healing.
Below are the principles of Reiki:
Andy Dooley is a Spiritual Vibration Activation teacher.
He's very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor.
Andy has a "Transitional Statement" that has helped me to get
from my transitions to transformation.
Andy's Transitional Statement goes like this:
"I am beginning to allow myself to become ______________(insert desire)"
This way the Subconscious Mind (the record keeper of past and present hurts) is accepting of this new thinking and this transitional statement stops the "inner critic" inside you
from bringing up negative criticism.
Below is the link to Andy's video about this subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1P6U6kOf6g
This was my journey, I hope sharing this helped you in some way.
Doing the emotional and spiritual work on yourself will give you your
personal power back.
This is transitions to transformation in motion.
It is my greatest hope and desire that you make it from your transitions to transformation with grace and ease.
Love,
Rev. Sue
