Empowerment And The 3rd Dimension



Empowerment And The Third Dimension

Empowerment:
To give yourself the authority to choose and create your destiny at will.


Creating your destiny, changing your life for the better and receiving the things you want start with you becoming self-empowered to reach your goal and obtain all of your desires.

Anyone who's ever achieved any goal; an athlete, a doctor, an astronaut, a composer or the student who won the local spelling bee, were all self-empowered. They all had a desire to obtain something and they stayed focused on it until they received it.

It doesn't matter what you're looking for. Whether you're seeking greater wealth, better health, consistent happiness, more abundance, or you'd like to identify your purpose in life, when you become self-empowered, and you learn to trust in yourself, a new world opens to you. A world that's far beyond anything you've ever imagined.

The Third Dimension

Generally, people live their life in 2 dimensions; the past and the present. For the most part, they almost always disregard the future as another dimension they should be concerned with controlling.

Empowerment is not based on your current status or past accomplishments. Only your Ego cares about what you've done in the past. And, it loves when you waste your time dwelling on what you did to get where you are today. The Ego finds enormous pleasure when you tell your achievement stories over and over to anyone who will listen.

Bragging on your accomplishments and spending your time reflecting on what it took to get you to your present status level are clearly not empowerment because it adds nothing to the great things you desire to accomplish in the future. The past is behind you and continuing to relive it adds no value to going forward. However, because you have been blessed with Free Will and the ability to use it to alter your destiny, you can create the life you want.

The Third Dimension of Empowerment is about what you will do in the future. It's about giving yourself the authority to take full responsibility for what ever it is you have chosen to obtain or accomplish, and taking action towards reaching that goal.

In essence, you make a stand, drive a stake in the ground and tell the world: "I'm going to complete this, I'm going to have this and there's nothing which will stand in my way of achieving it."

Be Grateful You Can

Gratitude is also a significant part of Empowerment. Although the premise of being self-empowered is to focus on the future, it's also important to be grateful for your current position in life. Practicing radical humility and being grateful for all the things you currently have is essential for accomplishing your future plans. Be grateful to yourself and your source (Higher Intelligence, God, et cetera) for what you have accomplished up to this day.

In addition, it's also necessary to be grateful that you have the ability and opportunity to actively participate in creating the future you want. Recognizing that the future is the only place where changes can be made, so you can live your life the way you want, is definitely something to be thankful for. Therefore, also be grateful for your empowerment.

The Clear Way to Empowerment

Becoming empowered, consistently focusing on your future plans and actively participating in creating the future you want may sound like an impossible task, but the good news is, it's not. With a little practice, and the right guidance, anyone can learn to achieve even the most seemingly unattainable goal.

No matter how big or how small, whether it's something physical you want, or nonphysical like better health, you can easily learn how to become self-empowered and dynamically create your future. The key to the simplicity of empowerment comes by turning within and learning to trust one's self at a higher level.

Through the power of meditation, the most powerful self-improvement tool available to mankind, anyone can learn to accurately focus on their goals and see them come to fruition.

By learning to quite and relax your mind while connecting to the vast resources of the universe, you can now work from the inside out towards achieving your life's desires, no matter how big or small they are. This enhanced ability to concentrate more easily and at a deeper level truly puts the "power" in empowerment.

Endless Possibilities

When you become self-empowered the impossible becomes possible. Things that once seemed to be out of your control, you now consistently control. Empowerment, combined with meditation, allows your mind and your body to function at a whole new higher level of being.

Goals are reached more efficiently, you see your future more clearly and you learn first-hand that you can dynamically create future. Empowerment puts you in control of you; opening the door to a future of endless possibilities.

How to Embrace the Power of Surrender



How to Embrace the Power of Surrender
Ginny Grey


Flowing into peaceful surrender, allowing its softness to gently envelope us, is much like sinking into the warm water of a bath; body aches and pains are soothed and mental tensions are melted away as we slowly drift into sweet serenity.

Many of us know the power of surrender when we choose to let go of our fears by breathing them out and focusing on something uplifting, or when we release our problems by asking a guardian angel or higher power to take them from us and guide us to solutions. Ah, the relief. But most of us have not been guided to live our lives in surrender. We have been taught the opposite; try harder, plot more, manipulate where you can, force, push, resist, and if those don't work, run and hide. We know too well from experience that all these actions really accomplish is to dig us deeper into turmoil. We burn out, get frustrated, feel hopeless, alienate others, compromise our integrity, and give away our power.

Surrender allows us to own our power; the power of our higher self, spiritual self, creative source or whatever term one uses to describe their eternal essence. That same essence within each of us is within everyone and everything in the universe. This is why when we let go into it, our fears are taken away, our problems are taken care of, and whatever we need is brought to us. All it takes is letting go; letting go of trying to control all the details, letting go of holding onto fear, doubt or guilt, letting go of old identities that no longer serve us, letting go and letting something bigger than our small self be our guide. From here our mood lightens, our heart opens, and the walls we erected to protect our small self begins to crumble, allowing more light to enter.



Insights

* How do you view surrender? Do you see it as a giving up or giving in? Does it feel like things will collapse and get worse if you let go? Or are you able to trust in the divine order of things and feel that you are surrendering into something more powerful? How you view surrender will determine how you experience it so play with different perspectives.

* What is your experience of surrender? Have you experienced the relief of letting go of a fear or problem and trusting something bigger within you or within the universe to handle things? What motivated you to surrender during these times and what was the outcome? What would support you in surrendering more often?

* How do you feel right now? Are you in a surrendered state or are you in effort, trying, resisting or holding on? Is your body relaxed and peaceful or is it tense, feeling like you are grasping onto something? What about your mind; are your thoughts clear and calm or racing about or spacing out? What about spiritually; do you feel open, expansive, peaceful and uplifted, or shut down, numbed out and closed off? On average, do you spend most of your time in a more or less surrendered state?



Inspiration

* Whatever state you are in right now, allow yourself to move into a more surrendered space. Take a few deep breaths and on the exhalation release any tension in your body. Let your body completely relax into the chair you are sitting in. Close your eyes and bring all of your awareness into the center of your head, finding a still peaceful place within. Notice anywhere in your mind or body where you are holding on - to emotions, tensions, thoughts, worries or problems and let them go; allow them to drift out of your mind and body and float away, or see yourself putting them down on the ground behind you, or hand them over to a guardian angel or higher power. Breathe in softness and trust. Feel that you are being cared for and looked after by a loving presence.

* Practice being in a surrendered state daily by taking time to connect to your bigger self and your higher power. Take time in inner silence or meditation to feel your true authentic self and your connection to your eternal essence. Let this peaceful feeling flow throughout your whole mind and body, supporting you to let go into a place of ease, trust and flow.

* As you go through your day and days ahead, whenever you notice yourself ruminating over problems or concerns, or feeling a tight or holding on sensation in your body, choose to let go and release all of this to your bigger self or higher power. As you do this regularly you will move more and more into an expansive surrendered state.
