Victoria Cochrane How empowered are you?

Article VICTORIA COCHRANE

Every Wednesday at 12 noon I go online on the Spiritual Events Directory’s Facebook Page for my ‘Spiritual Wisdom Hour’. The title might sound like I consider myself a guru or something, but this couldn’t be further than the truth!

In my view, spiritual gurus are potentially disempowering because they set themselves up as the sage who knows far more than their followers who can become dependent on their wisdom. I wish not to be known as a guru for this very reason, because my aim is to empower people to step into their own gifts and to feel that they can create and manifest wonderful things in their lives.

There are so many ways people can become disempowered in their lives, particularly when they feel that they are stuck in a situation with no way out, that they have no say, that they are less important than others or that their choices make them a bad person. World events, especially at present, are causing many people to become fearful and anxious about what may happen, causing them to become locked into negative thought patterns that can lead to depression, anxiety and a disconnect from their spiritual knowing.

Spiritual disconnection and disempowerment can happen through childhood trauma, religious indoctrination, abuse, neglect, grief and a multitude of other reasons. But the media, including social media platforms, is a huge culprit in keeping people too immersed in third dimensional drama, fear and rhetoric that is completely overwhelming and often misleading. It is far better, I think, to stay informed but avoid becoming immersed, because it can lead you down into rabbit holes that make it hard to stay vibrationally positive.

The Law of Attraction is one of the three major spiritual laws that everyone and everything in the Universe is bound by. Whether people are aware of it or not, it plays a huge role in the type of reality each person is living, according to their thoughts and dispositions. How empowered or disempowered you are really does depend on how positive or negative you are in your disposition to life. Like attracts like, so if you are constantly putting out negative thoughts and statements, your reality will reflect that and you will feel as though life is happening to, not for you. On the other side of the spectrum, a person who can make the best of a situation, see the bright side and work actively to create a positive mindset even in the face of adversity, will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and feel much more empowered to take the pro-active steps they need to create they changes they need. It really is that simple.

The Universe is always working for us, even in our darkest times. The trick is to be mindful of what you are telling it to bring back to you. Have you listened to yourself lately? You might be surprised at what you are actually attracting. A little bit of focused intention and positivity is a great start to taking back your power and re-chartering your course into smoother waters.
