POWER VS. FORCE: Developing Personal Power

A key concept in learning to live from the inside out using energy and consciousness is understanding the difference between personal power and force. Personal power means different things to different people and even different things to the same person, depending on many factors, including: life stage, level of consciousness, personal experience and predominate belief system.

When you hear the words “personal power, “what comes to your mind? When we have asked that question in our classes we hear responses like:

  1. Presence
  2. Balance
  3. Choice
  4. Being present
  5. Knowing
  6. Happiness
  7. Inner Peace

These answers bring up another question for exploration: does personal power come from having these feelings or are these feelings an outgrowth of embodying the essence of personal power in your core?
