Why Was I Afraid Of My Own Power?
Back in 2020, I read a quote that pierced through my heart
It is a quote by Marianne Williamson:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us the most”
Up until that moment I had thought that my biggest fear was that I wasn’t good enough… so I had spent my whole life trying to “prove” myself
But when I contemplated this quote, I felt such a deep resonance and truth inside
I was subconsciously not allowing myself to fully create and live my dreams because I WAS AFRAID OF MY OWN POWER!
Oh WOW! It hit me like a ton of bricks
But WHY???!!!
Why was I afraid of my own power?
This started a massive transformational journey for me to uncover and transmute all the reasons, belief systems, conditioning and programming that kept me from fully owning my power
You see power has been misused, abused and misunderstood for thousands of years
It has led to some pretty awful things as we have learned, witnessed and perhaps experienced
Growing up in Brazil, I saw power be misused and abused all the time especially by “men in power”
I learned that if you have power or a lot of money you are likely corrupt, greedy, or up to no good
Brazil is also a very patriarchal and sexist country…
So I saw women often be completely disconnected from their own power
Recommended by LinkedIn
They were either “managed” by the men in their families or they were expected to be a sex symbol
When women tried to stand up for themselves and claim their power in any way they were often reprimanded, shamed or judged
As I started to dig deeper into my mental and emotional field, I quickly saw how I didn’t feel safe owning my power
From the masculine wound, I believed that power would somehow transform me into a bad person, corrupt me, make me do bad things (I didn’t trust myself with power)
From the feminine wound, I believed that if I owned my power people would target me, reprimand me, I would get in trouble, I would be judged, not liked, not accepted, not loved
Simply said, my own definition and relationship with power was messed up…
It was an ego-driven definition of power based on fear, lack, scarcity, competition, hierarchy and separation
And this definition of power needs to change, evolve and ascend in order for our subconscious mind to allow ourselves to fully reclaim and own our authentic power within
Only then we remember our sovereign power within to consciously create new paths, possibilities and potentials of love, light, freedom, and abundance
I believe this is the most important journey of liberation, reclamation and transformation that we could walk together as women, especially right now
