What is Self-Acceptance Power?
To compassionately and courageously befriend and integrate exiled parts of ourselves home into the wholeness of our being.
About Self-Acceptance Power
Self-Acceptance Power is the ability to notice when we're operating from fear or scarcity, instead of love and acceptance. Let’s face it, we all know how easy it is to slip into fear and control, especially if we’re being moved by unresolved trauma or adaptive strategies that seek to protect our vulnerability and keep us safe at any cost. It’s not our fault. We’re all conditioned. We all have core wounds.
When we embody our Self-Acceptance Power, we align with our compassionate inner witness who observes, welcomes, and integrates “messy” parts of ourselves back into a powerful whole. Befriending our shadows is an adventure that can swing between utter despair and total liberation. Each time we bravely walk into the dark to examine our shadow patterns, we welcome disowned aspects of ourselves back home.
Our wounds become alchemized into our personal gifts, hard-won wisdom and medicine for the world. Self-Acceptance Power is the art of being in a conscious relationship to your personal conditioning; this level of intimacy and compassion becomes a beacon of light for others who are traveling in the dark.
“I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.”
— Brené Brown
Signals of loss of Self-Acceptance Power
Are you your own worst critic? Is it easy for you to find fault with yourself, and hard for you to feel self-acceptance and self-compassion?
Do you long to be seen, yet also find yourself wanting to hide or run away from someone who seems to actually see you?
Do you find yourself spiraling through painful repeating circumstances and don’t know how to interrupt the cycle?
If so, it may be time to dive into your Self-Acceptance Power.
Learning to embrace and heal your core wounds will help you re-integrate all parts of yourself, so you can experience greater compassion for yourself and others, and share your unbridled personal medicine with the world.
When you’re in rhythm with your Self-Acceptance Power you most likely feel:
Aware of your wounds and conditioning, and familiar with the adaptive strategies you draw upon to protect yourself
Devoted to the journey of retrieving and re-integrating exiled parts of yourself into the wholeness of our being
Empowered with tools and practices to address triggers and process overwhelming emotions
Committed to welcoming, accepting (and eventually even loving) all parts of yourself and your experience
When you’re out of rhythm with your Self-Acceptance Power you might feel:
Shame or a sense of punishment when things go poorly, rather than engaging with obstacles as a part of your awakening and evolution
