Good morning everybody.
Welcome to In The Flow.
My name is Lorie Albert and today I want to talk about keeping our power.
What is one intention?
You know when I use the word intention I don't think I mean intention.
I think I mean what is a dream that you have?
What's a dream that you have that you've never told anybody that you like?
Do you want to be Oprah?
Do you want to be just like Oprah?
What is a dream that you have that you've never allowed yourself to fully understand or relate to or allow yourself to dream?
An intention?
It could be an intention I guess.
You know what I mean?
It could be an intention,
A dream.
What is a dream that you've never allowed yourself to fully embrace?
That's what I want to say.
And here's the question.
Let's talk about what makes us not.
What makes us not embrace that dream?
So recently I had a sort of situation where I was brought down,
Let's just say,
And you know I felt like I was being a little bit bullied.
You know somebody doing those backhand comments and I remember thinking specifically,
I have a choice here.
In this moment when I am being like sort of belittled or you know whatever it wasn't horrible but it was those little biting comments right?
And I remember thinking to myself I have a choice.
I can look to the side and take all of that on or I can walk straight through and not look to the side and not give away my power.
Because when other people make you feel a little less than or when other people bully you,
That's a dramatic term obviously,
But when people bully you or whatever it's their own problem.
It's their own issue that they are having.
Right?
It's their own issue that they have that they're projecting onto you because they if they don't have the power they want to take away your power and take away your strength.
No we can't allow that.
We cannot allow that and I'm like the queen of it.
I'm not saying I'm like I know I have all the answers on that but I will say I do know we cannot allow them to take our power.
We cannot allow anyone to take our power.
We need to be resilient and tough right?
Because if we want to be the next Oprah or Tony Robbins or Wayne Dyer or whatever or the next you,
Powerful you,
Cannot allow them to take our power.
Mm-hmm.
Because we've got it right in here.
It's here and walking straight forward that's the only path that we can take to our dreams and our intentions.
Those dreams that we've never told anyone.
So let's get ourselves comfortable today because we are gonna have a really powerful meditation.
So let's get yourself comfortable seated comfortably you can be laying down whatever is good for you.
Gently allow your eyes to float closed and let's take a nice long really slow deep breath in through your nose breathing in all of that power and that morning beautiful air into every cell in our body and release.
Releasing all that stagnant air that doesn't serve us right?
So let's do that again.
Take a nice deep breath in and release.
What are you grateful for today?
I want you to think of at least three things that you're grateful for.
It's always so important to start our day in a place of gratitude,
Thankfulness,
Appreciation.
Appreciation for everything that we have.
Even the things that we don't think that aren't that great like coffee or your chair that you're sitting in.
Your comfortable chair or the fact that you have a computer where you can or a phone where you can watch this.
Listen.
What are you grateful for?
So next let's crystallize an intention.
It can be a short term intention for today or it can be a long term intention.
Something for your life.
Let's crystallize that intention.
That secret intention maybe that you've never shared.
Only you and your mind know.
Very good.
So for today's meditation we are going to repeat an affirmation as we go through it.
Today's affirmation is this mantra I guess I should say.
I am strong.
I am powerful.
I am loving.
I am me.
So let's repeat that back.
I am strong.
I am powerful.
I am loving.
I am me.
So as we sit in our silence today let's repeat this back to ourselves over and over again and let it go down deep down into your soul.
I will keep the time and let's begin.
I am strong.
I am powerful.
I am loving.
I am me.
I am strong.
I am loving.
I am powerful.
I am me.
I am strong.
I am powerful.
I am loving.
I am me.
If you get them mixed up that's absolutely okay.
Just come back to whatever it is.
Don't make yourself wrong.
I am strong.
I am powerful.
I am loving.
I am me.
I am me.
I am me.
I am me.
I am me.
I am me.
I am me.
I am strong.
I am powerful.
I am loving.
I am me.
I am loving.
I am me.
Let's start bringing our awareness back to ourselves.
Bringing ourselves back to the chair we're sitting in.
And let's take a nice deep breath in and release.
Beautiful.
Very good.
Taking this intention with you for the rest of the day is what we want to do.
And know that you are your power.
Never allow anyone to take that away.
Keep moving forward.
Namaste.
