Shara Grove Holistics

Have you ever lost your power? That feeling you have over owning yourself. I know many people that have. Myself being one of them. When you hold that power, you have control over your body. You get to say what. You get to say who. You get to say when. You get to say yes or no. But what happens if all of that gets ignored? Or not even taken into consideration? You lose your power.

People don’t realise how much a loss of power is damaging. It leads to people pleasing, self-criticism and discrimination. It leads to fear, anger, resentment and confusion. It leads to chronic illness, eating disorders and in some cases, death.

We are born with power over our physical bodies. After all, our bodies are just the vessel to help our souls experience life on this planet. So what happens when our physical bodies are criticised, abused or neglected? Our souls become damaged. They get wounded. Their purity fades slightly, because how can a life on this planet be so beautiful (see the bigger picture here) but be so hurtful? It makes us hate being human. It makes us hate feeling emotions. It can make us hate ourselves. Hate the bodies that we chose to carry us through life here.

So how do you regain power?

Through surrendering.

Through acceptance.

Through love.

You surrender to what happened to you. You allow yourself to no longer block out, down play or blank those emotions. You allow yourself to exhale. You allow yourself to let it be free. And you soon realise how keep hold of this pain, hasn’t helped you regain the power that was stolen from you.

You accept what had happened. We can’t change the past. We as humans were never meant to change the past. For that is too controlling and damaging. We as humans can accept the past. Accept our experiences. Acceptance doesn’t have to be peaceful. Acceptance can be as messy as you need it to be. But with acceptance comes freedom from your past.

Love heals all, but love is the hardest of them all. For love can be false, manipulated and hurtful. We perhaps remember the pain of love more than we acknowledge the power of love. True love brings walls so thick that no lower vibration can penetrate. But walls so tender that they feel as light as a feather.

But to love yourself is the hardest task. Because how can you love yourself when all you can remember is the hate. Is the criticism, the discrimination and the hurt.

To love yourself means appreciating yourself. Are you thankful for all that your body has gotten you through? Can you recognise that even at the end of your worst times, your body has always been there for you? Offering you warmth, shelter and a shield. Are you grateful for how your body has carried you when you were self-destructing? Do you appreciate every scar and wound your body has endured for your souls protection?

In those moments of stillness, can you connect with your body? Can you feel your ribcage expand? Even if it is so slightly. Can you feel tingles in your legs or arms? Can you hear your feet stamp on the ground?

Your power is there. Your power is connecting soul and body back together again.

Our souls chose this body for this lifetime. We entered connected. Lets connect back.
