The Holy Spirit continues with this message of love regarding power and powerlessness and gives me a great practice.
HS: When you feel depressed you feel powerless.
When you feel powerless (fear of power) you feel depressed.
Think of areas you feel powerless in.
Me: Assuring my children are happy, healthy and strong; my body’s health and strength; wearing high heels (ever since my Mother was in a wheel chair and I got used to needing flat shoes for my own sure-footedness in moving her to and fro); driving; high powered business situations; keeping up with my business partner’s energy level.
HS: Now take each one and say and write:
I allow myself to see _____________________________.
I allow myself to see the happiness of my children.
I allow myself to see the health and strength of my body.
I allow myself to see how much I enjoy high heels and feel comfortable in them.
I allow myself to see driving as an act of creational experience.
I allow myself to see business as something I have always enjoyed.
I allow myself to see keeping up with my partner good exercise.
I allow myself to see wanting to make him slow down as abdication of my own power.
Me: Wow! This was really helpful. The phrase “I allow myself to see____” was like a key unlocking a door. I didn’t know that a fear present in me in these categories literally prevented me from seeing. Just writing “I allow myself to see_____” over and over actually helped me to see. This is amazing. I feel like I have a secret decoder ring! Try this for yourself:
