Transcript

True power,

What does that even mean?

True power does not mean power over others,

But it means power over yourself,

Over your own smaller parts that feel anxious or doubtful or angry.

It means that we are able to tap into our innate,

Strong inner self that has all the resources available that we need,

But we often lose sight of it,

We often get doubtful,

And then we lose touch with that inner resource that's always there and waiting for us to be discovered again.

True power means that we can be clear,

That we can be creative,

That we can be compassionate,

Connected,

Which is another feminine superpower,

And that we can stand in our full self,

That we're not reactive to what others throw at us,

But we take a moment and think about what's really right for us,

And then we can truly show who we actually are at our inner core.

A big applaud for all your contents youโ€™ve made available here. The way you combine meditation with therapeutic insights I find unique in its healing, motivational and heartful capacity. Some (tiny) opportunity for improvement (though almost impossible as youโ€™ve put the bar quite high) is possibly that youโ€™d experiment with speaking and pronouncing in an increased mindful manner. This may influence the pace of the words in turn influencing even further the thalamus/amygdala/limbic system in deepening the sense of safety and relaxation than you presently already do. Hope this tiny suggestion will benefit you, your work and your listeners. ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ™
