It begins from birth. We are brought up to believe in the dogma taught by our parents, society norms, social stigma, schools, and religious leaders that we are not free to think for ourselves. Not free to chose what makes sense in our minds, what resonates with our feelings and impressions of the outer world. We are shut down and our sensitivities are dampened when they are most valuable and heightened. As we grow from infancy into early childhood, we are told that we imaged that shadow, that the spirits we converse with are imaginary friends.
Into our teen years, we realize that sharing this information about ourselves puts us at risk for criticism, ridicule and alienation. We take our spiritual beliefs underground and hide them in our drawers, closets and hearts. Those who share the gifts of empathy understand the great loss of connectiveness in our world. For those who have been lucky enough to find a safe place to blossom, the pursuit of knowledge is an unending journey.
So how do we regain our power in an environment determined to deaden our senses? We must find our inner strength to push past the dogma that has stunted our growth spiritually. Understand that the closed mind will never accept new information. We therefore must live the life we are meant to live without the restrictions of society. Others may not get it, they may not like your choices, but you can wake up each day knowing that you are authentic.
A few thoughts that may help to empower you:

When change presents itself in your life, look to the reason behind it rather than allowing it to cause anxiety. Is it a transition in your work environment? A fleeting relationship? Financial losses? Frequently, these are the Universe’s “wake up calls” to move you along the proper life trajectory. The changes may seem very intimidating initially, but more often than not, they will propel your life in the directing that aligns with your soul’s desires. For example, you may have been laid off from your long-term job. But in looking upon it, you dreaded going into the office each day and preforming the same mind-numbing task day in and day out. It left you feeling very restricted and there was no opportunity to move up the promotional ladder. Now you have the freedom to explore your desire to help others by studying nursing full-time. You are even eligible for paid college tuition and training due to the shortage of skilled staff in the area. See how releasing things which are misaligned in your life can benefit you and others?
The opportunity for change may also manifest in your personal relationships whether family, career or romantic. Perhaps you and your partner are constantly arguing, cause a disruption in your happiness and the peace within your home environment. It might be hard to walk away because of financial issues or the time you’ve invested in the relationship. But ultimately, your health – emotional, physical and mental – is being compromised. Your unhappiness is impacting the lives of your children, your family and your co-workers. Its negative effects are rippling outward to everyone you know, and everything you encounter. It can affect your concentration, sleep cycle and metabolism.
If you wake up each morning and cannot see the joy in it, it’s time for some changes. Wait – not scary ones, but small ones that will assist in bringing forth more happiness and synchronicity into your life. Some examples of changes that can be easily implemented are:
Keep in mind, even slight changes in your life will bring in new experiences, and over time will draw new energies to you. The larger the implementation of change, the more the impact will be felt. Embrace the opportunities around you when they present themselves. And know that doing what feels frightening and edgy is usually exactly what your soul is needing in the moment.
