No power, no peace: cultivating power is the spiritual work we really need

We may have been acculturated to only practice compassion & acceptance; a type of spiritual bypassing that perpetuates oppressive systems. Here's how finding our own power brings (more) real peace.

Questions to consider:

What comes up for you when you hear the word ‘power’? What do you feel in your body? What other words come to mind?

What is your relationship to power?

How were you acculturated to hold power?

Is power violent, loud, or angry (for you)? Could it be quiet, or still, or gentle?

Who has more power in your life than you? Who has less?

In what ways have you tried to get power (unconsciously) when you didn’t have it?

What would change for you if you felt more powerful?
