There’s a quiet magic in stepping into your own power—a personal sovereignty that grows each time you pause, reflect, and listen to your inner guidance. Last night, a Facebook post inspired me: “Step into Your Power Saturday. Which speaks to you right now—setting boundaries, getting back up after falling, or listening to your intuition and trusting yourself?” I realized that all three resonate, but for me, the call to listen and trust has been the guiding light of my journey.
Answering the Call
I remember my first intentional step toward conscious living decades ago. In a small apartment in Anaheim, I sat cross-legged on my couch, closed my eyes, and simply asked for peace. That quiet moment, that curiosity, sparked a lifelong practice of tuning in. Over 25 years later, I still pause—frequently throughout my day—to listen, to meditate, and to connect with Spirit. Sometimes it’s for guidance about a situation, sometimes for clarity when I feel lost, and sometimes simply to align with the subtle wisdom of my soul. My guides, ever-present, remind me that personal power is not about control—it’s about presence, awareness, and sovereignty.
As philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” Choosing to listen, to trust, and to act from that inner wisdom is a declaration of sovereignty. Each decision, each intentional pause, and each courageous action reinforces our confidence and our alignment with a higher power.
Philosophy of Sovereignty
Psychologist and author Brené Brown reminds us that true power comes from vulnerability: “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it.” Embracing our personal power requires courage—the courage to face uncertainty, to fall and rise, and to trust the whispers of our intuition.
Stepping into your power is a practice. It’s a moment-to-moment decision to honor yourself, to reclaim your voice, and to live fully in alignment with your highest self. As I continue this journey, I am reminded of Lao Tzu’s wisdom: “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
My Own Journey is Illuminating
I’ve been stepping into my power lately—calling in sovereignty and strength during my last intention-setting ceremony. I’ve witnessed my soul stepping up into my conscious life. I am present to a higher power, and my guides and Spirit are always directing me. I’ve been practicing listening 🎧 for a long time. My meditation journey started in my twenties, sitting cross-legged on our couch in Anaheim, simply asking for peace. That first step toward conscious living sparked a lifelong practice of pausing, going within, and listening.
Over 25 years later, I still meditate multiple times a day—sometimes to ask questions, sometimes to explore outcomes, and sometimes just to find clarity when I feel lost. My guides are always there for these check-ins, teaching me that true power comes from presence, awareness, and trust.
Today, I invite you to pause. Listen. Notice where your intuition is guiding you. Where does your sovereignty call you to stand boldly in your life? Step into your power. Trust yourself. And allow your soul to shine its light fully into the world.
💎 Journal prompts to step into your power:
- Where in my life do I need to set stronger boundaries?
- How can I rise and move forward after a setback or challenge?
- What is my intuition trying to tell me right now, and how can I trust it more fully?
Take a few minutes to reflect and write—your soul has wisdom waiting for you. 🌙
