Lesson 13: Self-Anchoring
If you are a deep feeler or struggle to manage stress, tension and disagreements, self-anchoring will enable you to find your footing so that you can stand firm. If you feel yourself getting swept up into emotion, concern about what think others think or expect, or trying to please and perform, self-anchoring allows you to dig deep into your personal truth and power. The strong energy of relationships, conflict, and difficult decisions can seem like heavy waves crashing in on you. Perhaps these are waters you previously tried to avoid or felt overwhelmed by, until now.
This tool helps you anchor into yourself to navigate these deep waters. Self-anchoring allows you to hook into a deeper, more solid part of yourself that enables you to be in the throes of conflict and tension but prevents you from getting too far into the stress and strain of it all. It also prevents you from crashing into something or someone else by seeking their input and resources above your own.
Self-anchoring is an empowered energy that allows you to firmly and confidently hold your own and function authentically and assuredly. It is using your voice, strength, and intuition to activate your inner power and authority.
