How to Be Empowered – No Matter What
A LinkedIn post caught my eye and got me thinking.
“It didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and silencing opposition. One party dividing citizens into “us” and “them” and calling on their supporters to harass them. It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen.”
Obviously, this is about what happened in Germany before WWII. And obviously, it is what is happening here in the United States.
I meditated on the post, and I had the intuitive hit to write this. I am following through on my inspired action by diving into the answers I was looking for that popped into my awareness as I meditated.
What is this truly about?
Someone or a group wants power. They want to control things.
What is the technique they are using?
Fear and bullying.
What is the solution?
Go high vibe and then act from that state of being. You can’t solve a problem at the same vibrational level as the problem. You have to go higher to find possible solutions. That is where your power is. It’s just the way consciousness works.
What’s involved with going high vibe?
Build the feeling of love and peace within yourself. Then when you are full, let it spill out of you. Be kind to yourself and others. (This means stop talking sh*t and be nice to everyone.) Then, be grateful for everything in your life. Notice what is working in your life.
Next, observe all the love and peace already around you. It could be the gently falling snow gives you the feeling of peace. It doesn’t matter what brings up the feeling. What is important is that you feel it.
What are the advantages of high vibe?
Intuition increases. thus you have more ease in your life as you listen to what your inner self is saying. It knows what to do. Every time you fight with yourself, you are probably saying no to intuition.
Personal power grows. Highest vibe wins. The higher your vibe the more power you will have. As your vibe rises, you will be able to do more with less effort. As weird as it sounds, a high vibe finger twitch can be more powerful than a low vibe screaming and yelling match. You’ll have a greater impact with less force.
Think of Martin Luther King and Gandhi. They were very influential and were at peace within themselves. (They were also very determined without the shouting and fighting.)
New ideas and solutions. Once you wipe your inner mind and heart of the low vibes, things will become obvious. All the possibilities already exist. We just can’t see high vibe possibilities when we are low vibe and can only see low vibe ones.
Fear dissolves. As you raise your vibe, fear dissolves. In short, you feel better and can do things with more ease, such as breathe more deeply.
High vibe wins!
When high vibe happens, you move out of fear. You reclaim your personal power and are no longer controlled by others - no matter what. High vibe allows you to see the bigger picture, leading to new possible solutions. The highest vibe wins. And when you change how you show up, others will change also. Set your feeling, feel it, and then act.
How this showed up in my life 10 minutes after I meditated.
I’ve been babysitting while my daughter and son-in-law went out of town. Throughout the week, I was teaching M (10) about non-resistance. When her brother, J (7), would start screaming and yelling, I taught her to stop engaging. Afterall, if you don’t enter the fight, the other person runs out of steam. And since you change, the other person most likely will also.
On top of that, I taught her to go high vibe by saying “I Love You” over and over in her mind. She was literally filling up her body with loving herself. M and I did it together many times during the week.
Well, ten minutes after I meditated, I came into the kitchen and the kids started talking about having a quiet contest. Perfect. All was good for about 30 seconds. Then, J just had to say something. M and I didn’t respond. The longer we kept loving and being quiet, the angrier he got. Then he upped his behavior and started poking at M’s computer.
She finally lost it and started screaming and crying. It was interesting to watch that as she got agitated, J stopped screaming and smiled. He’d taken control and won – at least against his sister. He had no incentive to change his behavior. What he was doing was working – if he did it long enough. He’d already lost the quiet contest. So, his new goal was to annoy M. If she had been high vibe no matter what, a new solution would have become obvious to her and she would not have gotten annoyed when he escalated. As a result, his behavior would change.
While M did very well with raising her vibe initially, we keep working with the “no matter what” part. We’d done it other times during the visit. This time, it was before school instead of after school, and there was a time pressure to get moving, so the feeling of peace was more elusive. When you can be love and peace “no matter what,” you can be calm and centered no matter how crazy those around you get or the circumstances go haywire. This is where the true power is.
Your feelings and what you do about them are up to you. Each individual holds the power for their own life. When you learn to feel, let go, and clear your feelings, you become imperturbable. In other words, nothing can bother you (unless you react to it). And the way to not react is to raise your vibe.
Once you are high vibe, possible solutions will become obvious. Your solution may be different from your neighbor’s. From there, you can choose what you would like to do. It’s possible.
Are you ready to step into your power? To do so, go high vibe – no matter what.
