We go through life having a multitude of experiences. Some are more significant than others, and some are considered life-changing in one way or another. How we look at those experiences, and how they impact our feelings of control and power over ourselves, creates a flow for our future and our connection to ourselves.
When we have a significant experience in life, it can profoundly impact us. We may respond in a variety of ways. Sometimes we search for meaning and try to understand the why. Sometimes we have feelings and memories that extend beyond the event and tap into other significant experiences. Sometimes we fall into grace and/or grief and/or shock and panic.
One potential pitfall for our soul and our life journey is when we create stories about the meaning of the event and give our personal power and control to these stories. A client of mine had been betrayed through years of traumatic events. She was in deep grief and felt powerless to move beyond fears related to the pain of her experience. She felt stuck.
As she worked through her grief, layer by layer, she realized that she had given her power to the betrayal story. With each betrayal, she felt helpless. As they continued, she continued to feel helpless. And then she got stuck in the story of betrayal and how “it took her power away.”
When she realized that she was not her betrayal, that this was not her story, she began to grieve the betrayal differently. She now appreciates and values her truth that she is a loving being who deserves a future with harmony, peace, and loyalty. And she knows that she has the power to be that for herself and claim the energy for universal support and healing. She connected back to herself, her intuitive guidance, and her inner strength.
Moving beyond the stories about your experiences enables you to stay in the power of who you are for yourself and for your future. It is one way that intuitive guidance supports you.
