Greetings Conscious Community!
Welcome to your issue of the Meditation Times! Below you will find the following good medicine:
1.) April's Intention: Weeding out our soul garden.
2.) Weed #2: "I am powerless."
3.) This Week's Meditation: I am empowered
4.) Inspired Affirmation
**************************************************************
Spring is here! Time to plant our dreams and desires. But first things, first- we must weed out our soul garden. For April, we turn our mindful lens to our beliefs. Let’s pull out the outdated, misaligned beliefs, and prepare our soil for a bountiful, beautiful garden of manifested dreams.
Here are four varieties of weeds that can be found in most soul gardens:
1.) There is not enough.
2.) I am powerless.
3.) I am not worthy.
4.) The Universe/God is untrustworthy.
****************************************************************
“I am powerless.”
*
Wha? No way. No how. You are a powerful expression of love and light capable of creating a life of joy and abundance. Don’t believe me? Believe me but still feel stuck?
*
Feeling powerless is also known as victimhood consciousness. It’s that feeling that you are a victim to an outside force. You feel that no matter what you do, you are powerless to change something. Whether it’s within your career, your love life, your finances... when you are feeling powerless, you feel unable to effect significant change.
*
Most of us, at any given moment, no matter how high and mighty, will experience this level of awareness in some sector of our lives. You may feel incredibly empowered within your career, but feel hopeless when it comes to love and relationships. You may have all the love in the world, but are feeling stuck in a dead end job. Or, you may seem picture perfect to the outside world, and yet feel that your emotional, physical, or spiritual health is in need of rescue. Take a look at your life and see if you are experiencing a sense of powerlessness in one or more of these arenas:
*
Career
Finances
Health
Family
Relationship
Community
Spiritual Practice
Home
*
Chances are, there was at least one where you happily said, “I have that one down. I am in the flow on that one.” And, chances are, there was at least one where you said, “Uh-oh. That’s the one. Victim, yep.” If this is true for you, then good! You are aware. This is the first step. Congratulate yourself for having a dose of self-awareness.
*
Now let’s get down to the nitty gritty; how do we change this sense of powerlessness? How do we transform our feelings of powerlessness into a permanent state of empowered awareness?
*
GET TO KNOW YOUR SOURCE. Do you think you are hooked up to a flimsy supply? One that doles out loving relationships and financial flow in small increments? Do you believe that you are disconnected all together, or that there is no source? Well, no wonder you feel powerless. The truth is you are connect to the biggest power plant in the Universe. This power plant seeks to supply you with all that you need to change, to transform, to evolve, to experience joy. It’s all right there, waiting for you to remember and plug in to it.
*
Here’s a great image-- we all have electricity in our homes. When you want your lamp turned on, you flip a switch to open the flow of energy. The switch doesn’t create the energy, nor does the lamp, it just allows what is already there to flow. The energy, the source is always there in abundant supply. You know that whatever appliance you wish to turn on is powered by this constant presence. And, you have no problem knowing that you deserve to have it, whether it’s to supply a tiny night light, or a huge spotlight!
*
Think of Source energy as this. It is always there to provide the power, the energy you need, you just have to plug in. Some of us may need to replace a bulb or two (habits). Some of us may need a complete electrical over-haul (change your life). The path will be different for each of us; however, the energy is the same for all of us... always there, always ready, and in infinite supply.
*
Whatever idea or dream you have, whether it’s a juicy romantic relationship, or that crazy business idea you’ve been dreaming about... the infinite power plant of the Universe is ready to source it... just plug in!
*
The best thing you can do is to show up for your meditation practice and ask to know your Source. It’s actually right where you are right now. Plug in. Allow it’s presence to be heard, seen or felt. It will reveal Itself to you in it’s own perfect time and way. Set your intention to feel this energy, to know this energy.
*
Once you have touched this, you can know in your heart that your boss, your lover, or your doctor is not your source of power. You know where your power comes from. And you know it is always there for you, regardless of how low, or powerless we can feel. This Source is always ready to fuel your desires. This Source is always ready to empower you, in whatever way you choose.

Meditation: Power Plant Visit
Before settling in to meditation, set your intention to experience/become aware of Source Energy.
*
Take your seat. Allow. Allow. Allow. You have set your meditation intention, allow it to take you to your destination. Watch what comes up, watch how the mind pulls and pushes, and then choose to dive deeper. Dive deeper with the breath, watching the breath rise and fall. Feeling your whole body move with wave-like motions.
*
Keep repeating the pattern: watch, dive deeper, watch, dive deeper.
*
Once you feel deep enough, begin to visualize an enormous power plant, big enough to source every change, every dream, every desire you have ever had, will ever have. Watch as it effortlessly produces the energetic momentum that you desire. There is more than enough to support your endeavor completely. Not only will it support and sustain you... but it is excited to do so. This energy has love, and wisdom, and creativity--whatever you need, it has it in abundance. This is your soul fuel. You are always hooked up to this.
*
Now see yourself going forward with whatever change you are envisioning for yourself. See this power supplying you with all you need. See and feel the fulfillment of your desire. Feel also the satisfaction that this Source experiences with you.

Beloved Community- There is one big power plant that sources ALL things, and I call this Source Energy. If it sources all things, then it sources YOU. If it sources you, then you are never, ever, ever truly powerless.

Until next week... be good and take your good medicine!!!
Peace and Mucho Love,
