Compassion is Your Divine Power

Each one of us is born to love, serve and heal. Spiritual empowerment is an arduous work in progress. At some point, when we develop enough inner strength, we are challenged to bear karma and carry burdens that by all appearances, are not our own. 

We are meant to alleviate collective suffering, madness, and depression, even though they don’t seem to belong to us. But each one of us is a part of the one fabric of humanity. Now more than ever, we are being called to carry the threads of humanity’s collective’s psychic turbulence to reduce its harm. 

You may not realise how much courage it takes to become empowered, but choosing to embrace the power within you is transformative.

Spiritual empowerment gives you the strength to do this. You may not realise how much courage it takes to become empowered, but choosing to embrace the power within you is transformative. Spiritual empowerment shifts your focus inward, towards your true Self, which is sacred. Your Sacred Self is at the core of your soul, around which your personal archetypes are grouped. Some archetypes have become your divine attendant spirits. Others are in transition as they wait for you to heal them. Here, in your inner world of your heart and mind, is where your spiritual strength lies. It’s where authentic power begins. 

You, in the seat of your Sacred Self, are the director of your life force. Your heart and mind are your tools. Your life force fuels every choice you make. It is your greatest resource. You can harness it for love, service and healing when you choose to set your heart and mind on compassion. 

Go beyond empathy.

“… emotion is the alchemical fire whose warmth brings everything into existence and whose heat burns all superfluities to ashes….
emotion is the moment when steel meets flint and a spark is struck forth, for emotion is the chief source of consciousness. There is no change from darkness to light or from inertia to movement without emotion.”

C.G. Jung: C W 9i para. 179

Sit quietly.

Bring your attention to a point above you, and like the golden sun streaming light through you, “download” the energy of compassion through the top of your head.

Breathe it in deep down into your heart.

Exhale, letting compassion gently flow out through your heart and into the world.

“Download” again as you breathe in, let compassion fill your mind and as you exhale let the energy of compassion gently flow out through your mind’s (third) eye and into the world. 

Repeat the sequence three times each day and watch some good happen. This energy when made conscious, is your divine power. It’s your greatest gift to the world.
