creativity prescription #5 : Make A Power Board
I woke up this morning feeling very light. The usual weight of power
draining issues had left me after synthesizing the info I read in Robert Ohotto's
newsletter on powerlessness. As a highly creative person and an idealist, his words are the authenticity tug I need to keep it real. His last talk
on Hay House Radio helps us sort out what exactly we have power over and
what we do not. He also highlights why identifying our powerlessness can be
useful. So, so enlightening. Yes, Robert, also the author of Transforming Fate Into Destiny (wrapped
up and under my tree...yes!), refreshingly speaks my language, inventing terms and
using expressions like "that rocks". It's like listening to the big brother, I
always wished I had.
His words also triggered an idea for me. As I was planning a
vision board workshop today, I though why not make it a power path board class
instead? Instead of having people manifest "stuff" and/or an ideal mate, they could create a board that keeps them on their power path.
Imagine connecting daily with a board that has all of your power triggers
anchored in it? Wouldn't this be an optimal place to begin each day and in pursuit
of living out our soul contracts. This could only be a good thing. I will say
that my past vision boards have always been about shaping my identity roles or
archetypes as Robert calls them. I believe
I first saw Robert during Caroline Myss' Sacred Contracts book tour where she first
spoke of these archetypes years ago. Perhaps, I subconsciously created a vision
role on my board for each the archetypes...
For this new year, I am suggesting an evolution of the common vision board into
the power path board. This will involve being honest with yourself about what holds
and leaks power for you. As Robert Ohotto says,"There is a freedom in saying I
have no power here...Surrender to powerlessness to get power."
Affirmation: I go into identifying both my places of power and powerlessness as a mindfully loving act I do for my personal growth
Stay Tuned: I will write about Robert Ohotto's Holiday Survival Strategies On line Event - December 17th, 2009 6pm PST / 9pm EST. I am looking forward to hearing how I can make it through gracefully, during this online workshop.
