Go Where Your Energy is Strong
Discovering Personal Energy and Intuition
Introduction
I've embarked on a project that felt overwhelming. I proposed organizing a workshop in New England for a friend and colleague to teach. After months of preparation, I was on the verge of choosing a conference center. The subsequent steps would involve advertising, invitations, and registrations. This happened in the early stages of my career, and I was beginning to feel overwhelmed. I regretted starting the project but feared disappointing my friend by backing out.
The Struggle
Acknowledge my change of heart was tough. My inner voice urged me to stop, but fear of letting others down kept me pushing forward. Ignoring my intuition seemed easier than dealing with potential disappointment.
Seeking Guidance
Despite my hesitation, I decided to call my friend, trusting my intuition even without a clear goal for the conversation. Seeking approval was a strong habit of mine, but I'm grateful for the courage to make the call. It resulted in a valuable lesson that guides me to this day.
The Gift of Insight
During our conversation, my friend told me, "Go where your energy is strong." Those simple words made everything clear. My energy wasn't strong for the current project. It diverted focus from what I truly wanted?"designing and implementing my own workshops.
This realization was akin to practicing aikido, a martial art that serves as a metaphor in challenging situations. Forcing techniques leads to strain and struggle, risking injury. However, when moving from your center and following your ki (life energy), the process becomes effortless.
Embracing Intuition
Recognizing where my energy was strong guided me to stop the project, preventing strain on my resources and relationships. My friend understood the timing better than I did.
Learning and Practicing
I learned to live by this wise advice, though it requires consistent practice. I often joke about being an "approval-seeking missile," but now I know to check my motivations and let my center guide me. Sometimes, I proceed with projects to gain approval, but other times, I pause and reflect. This balance allows me to honor both my desire for appreciation and my inner wisdom.
Living Questions
When struggling, ask yourself, "Why am I resisting? Where is my energy strong?" These questions reveal more power than you might realize.
Practice
- Are you facing a decision where your head and heart are in conflict? Notice this tension.
- Centering involves integrating intellect and emotions. Sit quietly and reflect on what's truly important.
- Write down your thoughts and feelings.
- Let the question linger in your mind, revisiting it periodically.
- Focus on where your energy is strong, and clarity will come.
By listening to yourself and seeking where your energy is strong, you unlock your true potential and find peace of mind.
