They want you in fear. We need you in your power.

The energetic battle between Disempowerment vs. Empowerment

They want you in fear.
We need you in your power.

When you’re in fear ⇒ you’re disempowered.
When you’re in your power ⇒ you’re unstoppable.

In the dark and perilous state the world seems to be in right now, this is the message that I deeply wish to share. One that I believe truly matters.

The Pull Towards Disempowerment

This is how it can feel, on a regular day, reading and processing the news on the current state of society:

Scroll. Scroll. Scroll.

Corrupted elites. Broken systems.

Scroll. Scroll.

Wars. Chaos. Destruction. Suffering.

Scroll. Scroll.

Food shortages. Fascism. AI.

Scroll. Scroll.

Misinformation. Hot takes. Opinions from all sides.

Scroll. Scroll.

Anger. Frustration. Fear. Grief. Helplessness.

Scroll. Scroll. Scroll.

It can feel so overwhelming and exhausting when you have to absorb all this information and news about society on a daily basis. It’s always been there at some level, but this year the news and events are amplified, heightened, like a boiling kettle about ready to burst.

And this is just the beginning.

The story goes on, with an uncertain future unfolding day by day, week by week.

And we have to learn to live with this, to live through this.

If you’ve ever found yourself doomscrolling for much too long, you know how icky it feels, and how it can affect your energy for the rest of the day if you let it.

Processing all this difficult information can put you in a low vibe state—making you feel low energy, fearful, overwhelmed, confused, disoriented, disillusioned.

In that state, you don’t feel like doing anything, you don’t know what to do, you feel lost, and then you often succumb to numbing—whether that’s turning on some form of entertainment or self-distraction, or to simply continue scrolling.

In this low vibe state, you are in your state of disempowerment.

You barely even have the energy to make yourself a meal. Let alone take on greater ambitions.

(*Consider then, how major dumps of dark information could be done (are being done) intentionally, to overwhelm and influence the masses into a low vibrational state of fear, confusion, and disempowerment. As well as how following the news and certain social media accounts is like supplying yourself with a consistent daily IV drip of this energy.)

Observe with Detachment

How then, do we manage to stay informed and aware, without falling into disempowerment?

The goal is to be able to receive information intentionally, and with a healthy level of detachment, as to not overload your nervous system.

Observe with detachment.

As much as possible, observe the information from an objective, detached point of view.

Observe. Don’t react.

Easier said than done, I know. Especially if you’re particularly sensitive.

Sometimes you read something and in that moment your emotions are already brewing.

In that case: Take a breath. Observe. Ground yourself in the present moment, and remember that you were fine before this information hit you, and you’ll be fine after.

Observe.

This is not a time to respond or act right away. Just observe, as detached as you can be.

Whenever feelings come, allow yourself to feel the feelings. Let them course through your body—and just observe them. Take however long you need—whether it’s 15 minutes, an entire day, or many days—to process the emotions. But try not to dwell in them for too long. Only when you are in a calm, neutral state, can you properly decide how you want to respond to this information.

When you’re ready, realign and anchor back into a high vibe state.

Coming Back to Your Power

A high vibe state is an energetic state of unconditional love—encompassing hope, strength, resilience, trust, positivity, joy, and light.

It is when you are in your greatest power.

Where you feel the unbounded energy of: “Anything is possible. I sincerely believe it.”

You feel strong, light, capable, loving. You are embodying a higher version of you, emanating bright, positive energy.

Think about how you feel in that kind of state. When was the last time you felt that way?

It doesn’t have to be grand or epic. It could be the lightness and peace you feel on a happy Saturday morning, when everything is going well. Or when you laugh so much with your friends that your entire body is exploding with joy. Or when you’re in flow, doing something that lights you up.

That is the state we need you in. That is your power.

Because in that state, your energy is at its full capacity. You are energized to do anything. Your energy is so positive, so strong, so powerful, you can move mountains.

So, how do you get there?

In order to step into your power—consider the following prerequisites:

1. You take care of your wellbeing.

You got the basics down—taking care of your health, resting, eating well, moving your body regularly, staying hydrated, sleeping well. You have a lifestyle that supports your physical, mental and emotional health. This sets the strong foundation for your energy.

2. You know how to regulate your nervous system.

You have practices for bringing yourself back to a calm, neutral, balanced state. You’re not in a perpetual state of fight or flight. You know that you operate and think best when your nervous system feels safe.

3. You have a healthy sense of self worth.

You believe in yourself, your strengths, and believe that you have something to offer (your strengths, skills, etc). Even if small, you believe you can play a role in uplifting your community and the world around you, or contribute in some way. You believe you are worthy and capable of whatever it is you wish to do.

4. You have compassion—for yourself and for others.

You have the ability to see the humanity in all people. To hold space for empathy, understanding, and non-judgment. To be able to see perspectives beyond your own. And as such, to be able to see nuance, and understand that the world doesn’t operate in black and white. In order to have compassion for others, it begins with having compassion for ourselves.

5. Bonus: You know how to manage (and design) your energy.

You have intentional practices or tools to shift your energy, mood, and emotions. You know how to lift yourself up, whether it be going for a walk, listening to music, getting up to dance, journaling to release emotions, gardening, creating art, or beyond. This is what it means to live intentionally, designing your energy in any given moment (what I created Resonance for ✨).

If you have all of these qualities down, we need you.

If you don’t yet, that’s okay. Take care of yourself first. You are your #1 priority.

If you don’t have all of these, why are you wasting time worrying about the world when you should be focusing on you? The real work always begins within.

Even if you do have these qualities, it’s a continuous practice. Nobody’s perfect—and it’s normal to fall off or out of balance every now and then.

So regardless, remember to take care of yourself. You should be your #1 priority.

You cannot pour from an empty cup.

And the darker forces that be, those in power who benefit from your disempowerment, want to keep your cup empty.

It’s simple. It’s about:

Disempowerment vs. Empowerment

Those who benefit from your disempowerment are incentivized to prioritize the continuation of that.

But YOU benefit from your empowerment.

Your community benefits from your empowerment.

Society at large benefits from your empowerment.

We need your light.

The Work Worth Doing

And so I remind you again:

Please take care of yourself.

Cultivate positive habits.

Learn to master the basics—your health & wellbeing.
Then, learn to master your nervous system.
Then, learn to master your self worth.
Connect with the love and compassion you have within.

This is the process of learning to master yourself. So you can be the most empowered version of you that you can be.

All of these qualities are learned habits, skills, and ways of being. We don’t come out of the womb, experts at all of this. Some of us may be gifted with more natural self confidence, or a calmer nervous system, or greater empathy… But we all have learning to do. We’re all here to grow.

So take care of your foundation.

Learn it. Practice it. Master it.

You should be your #1 priority until you get this down.

You don’t have to be perfect or get it right all the time. None of us are.

But try.

Be in the process of trying, of continuing to make an effort. Because it matters. You matter.

The better you get, the more empowered you will be.

With a strong foundation, you can then successfully shine your light in your own unique way, in whatever form that takes, and that will make all the difference in the world around you.

Please. Do this.

Because we need you.

We need you in your power.

Today’s message came to me while in meditation, and immediately afterward, I opened my eyes and took to my journal to write all the thoughts down. The words and ideas came out a bit scattered and choppy, but the message was clear: They want you in fear. We need you in your power. This post is a blend of my choppy notes and the writing I added to fill in the blanks.

I’m sending you all the love and support to do this inner work.

To nurture yourself, your nervous system, your self worth, compassion to self, and beyond.

This is why I’m focusing a lot of my energy on creating resources that help you stay in your power—nervous system regulation, mindset shifts, emotional healing, energy design, strengthening intuition, intention, and more. On creating tools and resources to help you stay aligned and empowered, each and every day.

Your inner work is more important than ever.
