The Divine Within Series - Attuning to Our Inner Authority
I published a video post a couple of weeks back called The Divine Within - What It Can Mean & What To Do Next where I introduce a few concepts.
Over the next few weeks, I thought it would be fun to dive into some of said concepts with the aim to pull at it - like a kite-string floating in the air - understand and embody it by making it authentically ours.

One of the barriers to introspection is our need for confirmation, validation and direction from external authority. Sometimes we are people-pleasers in order to belong and be accepted and other times we are assertive rebels. In either case, we are in a relationship exchange with external authority that can distract us from our wise inner center.
Being grounded in our wise inner center actually allows us to be secure in the self, so that when we receive comments, guidance, criticism, new ideas from the external world, it doesn’t blow us over completely.
In this video we look at opening our pathways from the inside-out, so that we learn to value true inner authority significantly more than we do today. As well, we explore how we can strengthen our inner authority when we default to requiring external validation all the time. While these pathways are in our mentality, beliefs and thoughts, a big part of this is learning to listen and enhance our awareness of our physical and emotional bodies. This is because we feel certain ways when we are in denial, pushed to do something we didn’t have a good feeling about or pretend to like something that we do not. We feel this in our gut, our neck or our jaw.
As we attune to all the signals our body gives us, we can learn to listen and strengthen our inner guidance system. I can tell you from experience, that this makes general life decision-making, so much more easeful, aligned and clear!
