Hello all! I’m new to the online community but attended Journey 2013. A wonderful experience that solidified my commitment to work on my spiritual path. I learned so much from everyone and felt so much love. I left with a lot of insight and tools to help me as I move forward. I appreciate the online community and you all sharing your thoughts and experiences It is such an eye opener (and heart opener) to be among others who are willing to open up and dialogue about their struggles and their successes. I would love to hear what and how you are implementing the tools we are given. Best wishes to you all! |

Hi Michele, The Journey was a powerful experience for me and continues to unfold. The tool I have been most focused on is the first authentic power guideline, which reminds me to keep the focus on myself. It is supporting me in experiencing what I am feeling in my body and noticing my thoughts…(if they are constructive or negative) and what my intention is in the moment I am having a reaction….and then I can CHOOSE what I am going to say…or not. More often, I am choosing not to speak b/c I discover I have frightened parts that are attached to an outcome or want to teach. What is really amazing to me is my ability to notice thoughts based in fear that I had not previously recognized as fear….because I was believing them as the truth. It is making a big difference in how I am communicating with my partner and a with others in general. Thank you for opening up this topic Michele. Love, Gail |

Hi Michele, Each Journey is an exquisite experience for me! What has deepened with this year’s experience is my appreciation and understanding of how I am responsible for my life. As Gail shared, keeping the focus on myself and paying attention to my intention, is what has changed how I act and how my life unfolds. Karma and how I choose to use the energy of my life have opened up a new level of possibility. I had a recent conversation with my d-I-l who has many serious health problems. I have shared a lot about my spiritual growth and creating Authentic Power with her. She called me about another outbreak of infection she was having, and wanted some input from me as her nurse, m-I-l. On my way to her home, I asked for guidance and support from my non-physical teachers, because I want to support her in the most loving way, that can help her open to the deeper meaning of what is happening in her life. I suggested that she might want to look at her health issues from a spiritual perspective, and talked to her about energy, intention and karma. She listened intently, but then I could watch her shift to a fp that asked if that meant that she was “causing my own problems”. I love her dearly and we have a wonderful relationship. In the past I would have been very attached to her understanding, and and not want her to be fearful. I would have been caretaking her , and taking responsibility for what she was experiencing. But I was unattached to the outcome, and was able to just listen with great compassion. Creating Authentic Power in my own life has enabled me to see more clearly what is necessary for real healing, for myself and all souls who accompany me on this journey. And my intention is to do the very best I can in each interaction. Each time I use my courage and follow the Authentic Power Guidelines, I learn so much about myself. As I grow, so can I assist others in my life. Becoming aware of the Love of the Universe/God, is an awesome experience!! Creating Authentic Power has opened the door, and I am deeply grateful. So happy to see your post. Please share more. With love, Pam |

Pam’s sharing about her daughter-in-law’s reaction reminded me strongly of my own reaction when my daughter was learning to create authentic power a year before me: when she asked if my complaining to her about someone who had offended me could be coming from a frightened part of my personality, what I heard was that if I was experiencing pain it was by choice and was my own fault. I was deeply confused (not to mention upset with my daughter) because I could not imagine any other choice being available to me in the circumstances. One of the greatest gifts I have found in creating authentic power has been to discover that no fear-based option (reaction) is ever without an accompanying loving alternative (response). I am grateful to be reminded of that through these postings. With love, Rosalind |
