Читать книгу The Power Within Me - Dr. Annice E. Fisher - Страница 4

You have everything you need inside of you to manifest the highest version of yourself. Power begins on the inside, and you are about to tap into yours in this book. Each chapter will guide you through a consciousness-raising process to discover and reclaim the power within you. Be sure to have your journal handy as you make your way through the book and be ready to write and reflect on any revelations that come up for you.

First Stop: Promise to Be Honest

This book is about breaking up with fear and doubt and walking in your full power. It’s about using your mindset, emotions, and behaviors to live as the highest version of self, releasing the lower vibrations that keep you trapped and playing it safe. In order to let go of the lesser version of yourself and bring out all that beautiful power buried down inside of you, you have to make yourself a promise. Promise yourself that you will be honest when you answer the questions in this book, every single time. To be dishonest is to cheat yourself, stifle your growth, and waste your money. The golden rule of this book is: no judging yourself. View your honest moments as learning moments, too. Judgement will send you back into a corner, leading you to close the book and wind up back at square one. We ain’t got time for that; lives depend on you moving forward in your gifts. You chose to investigate your inner voice at this time for a reason, so don’t waste your headspace living in negative energy. Every time you want to judge yourself, reframe the thought to, “what am I learning about myself?” This signals a gentler way for your mind to accept new information.

Second Stop: Know the Road Map

In your journey through this book, I will walk you through how to use consciousness-raising strategies to get unstuck. This experience will allow you to get to know yourself on a deeper level and be more thoughtful about how you interact with yourself. The 4-step consciousness-raising process involves choice, presence, self-awareness, and intentionality. Developing a deeper consciousness starts with:

1 The choice of how you want to use your power;

2 Your decision then creates a level of presence to listen to the voices in your mind and find out what’s stopping you from moving forward;

3 Using this self-awareness, you can dig up the roots of what has you stuck;

4 And finally intentionally using hands-on techniques can help you to remove anything that stands in the way of your progression. If it takes you away from the highest version of self, it has to go.

You’ll put this process to use in each section of the book as you journey towards reclaiming your power. You will begin in Phase I by Asking: “What’s going on inside of me?”; Phase II is about Assessing: “How am I using my power?”; and finally in Phase III, Accepting: Owning the power within me.

Third Stop: Meet Your Companions for the Ride

Personal work is often done alone. This sometimes creates the feeling of isolation and shame as you peel back the layers to unveil the core of your authentic self. There is power in collective vulnerability and healing that occurs within a community. To ensure that you experience the benefits of community throughout this journey, your two new friends, Amina and Grace are here to ride along with you and exemplify the power of the consciousness-raising steps and techniques in each chapter.
