When life brings you to your knees, there’s nowhere left to look, but up! When I looked up, God
said to look within. What I found is the foundation of what I live today:
“The called upon teachers teach the lessons which they have most often or
most strongly brought upon themselves to learn.”
In the midst of a severe depression, I was able to see and experience first-hand the “thought-
feeling-reality” connection. It was a lesson I won’t soon forget:
Weighing less than a hundred pound, weak and malnourished, my outward appearance and
physical condition were a direct reflection of what I was feeling inside: lost, broken and
defeated.
Battling with chronic tachycardia and severe hypertension, my doctor looked me dead in the
face and reiterated back to me what I already intuitively knew inside. He said, ‘There is nothing
wrong with your heart that your mind cannot fix. Medicine will only treat the symptoms – it’s
up to you to treat the cause. You are facing PTSD and Takosubo Cardiomyopathy, otherwise
known as Broken Heart Syndrome. I can’t heal your literal heart until you find a way to heal
your emotional heart.’
I was quite literally at a point of do or die! At the time, dying would have been a tremendous
and welcome relief from my suffering! Yet, as is the case with most suicidal people, I had the
cowardly selfishness to only want to die a quick and painless death…yet I was killing myself
slowly – from the inside out – and I was doing so with the power of my own mind!
Today, whenever I experience short-term memory lapses, they are serving as reminders of the
lesions on my brain, brought on by depression. It always reminds me to control my thoughts,
lest they control me! Whenever I feel a sudden racing of my heart, it is a reminder to me of just
how fragile the emotional heart can be and how important it is that I tend to it with constant
awareness and tender loving care.
What is Personal Empowerment? And how does it relate to “Healing the
Emotional Heart?”
Keep in mind that personal empowerment has absolutely nothing to do with being “powerful!”
Power is of the ego, where empowerment is of the emotional heart. Power is about control.
The heart has no desire to control. Yet, it also cannot tolerate being controlled. The emotional
heart is a leader and should never be made to succumb to following. The heart has no need to
be powerful; it only desires to be cared for and loved. Personal empowerment is about caring
for your Self (mind, body, heart, & soul) enough to put YOU first, knowing that from you, all
things flow.
So where does it start?
It starts with a decision. We must consciously and concretely decide that we are important!
We must recognize that the desires of our heart are inherent to only us; they were pre-
programmed into the roadmap of our souls before we even came here. We also must
understand that we indeed came here to experience those desires – it is called fate! We must
decide that our fate, our journey is of the utmost importance to our joy and the fulfillment of
our soul’s contract.
There are plenty of people out there who care so much about what they want to receive from
us, that they have no consideration or respect for our desires, our journeys. To keep from
becoming ‘one of them,’ we must learn the art of allowing. It is only our job to love – to love
our Self enough to find the courage to chase our own dreams – to live our own journey – to
fulfill our soul’s contract.
And here is the hard part: we also must love others enough to allow them to chase their
dreams – live their journeys – fulfill their soul’s contract…regardless of how it may affect us!
Harder even still: to do so without spite or judgment!
All of the workshops that I conduct are designed with these things in mind. They are each steps
toward personal empowerment. It is not something that is achieved overnight. Like tending a
garden, it requires daily attention combined with deliberate intention.
Empower yourself to live the life you were born to live!
