Awaken your power.

Dear Power Source subscribers: Here’s an audio post for you this week on resiliency. I especially had all of you stoic Midwesterners in mind, ;) but also, anyone who has a tendency to push through instead of flow with adversity. I talk about the differences between perseverance, endurance, and resilience, as well as offer several ways to boost your natural resiliency so you can face whatever is to...

"What if we begin at the beginning? If begin with "maybe nothing I've ever been told is true," then the possibility is that we can start to deconstruct some of the ladder of belief that we've been attached to, We can start freeing ourselves up to explore other places and opportunities and ideas and creativity we can slowly start to return, at least in our mind, to that child, we once were, that ha...

"And if we've learned anything, we have learned that there is no warrior coming to save us. That real life is not like the movies. There is no one person that is assigned to save the world and let the rest of us just go on living our life. It's here, it's now, change is upon us."

We're not here to rest. We're here to grow wiser, we're here to ask ourselves the hard questions. We're here to look at our dark sides and our shadow sides, and our blind spots. Those are the keys to developing even greater wisdom, and then sharing that with others—not through our words necessarily, but through our very being, through our very presence. This is wisdom. This is the journey and it i...

wake up Waking up is not just about us. It's not just about an individual. Waking up might be a an individual journey, but the result of our waking in our own lives is a gift to the collective society and it guides the energy for where society moves next. If you would like to actively participate in the direction that society moves, then we must wake up, we must be mindful for that will encourage...

"My mindfulness is largely a practice of curiosity. It's a practice of wonderment and wondering about this process of being human about the interconnectedness between all of us, and how certain people come into our lives and why they do and how this or that person triggers us. Isn't that interesting?" Get full access to The Power Source at kerimangisauthor.substack.com/subscribe

"Discomfort allows us to move inward, to reflect, to consider to contemplate, so that we can change and we can adjust and grow through that discomfort." Get full access to The Power Source at kerimangisauthor.substack.com/subscribe

Part of a journey to wholeness, part of a journey to awakening power, is to expand our emotional experience so that we become fuller, more whole human beings. That's what my work is all about. That's what this podcast is all about. And I dare to say that that is what this time is asking us to do. Get full access to The Power Source at kerimangisauthor.substack.com/subscribe

I'm so glad to be able to do this podcast right now. It means so much to be able to chew through some of these difficult things that are going around in our head as we all deal with the effects of the Coronavirus. If you are an artist or creative or a visionary or a leader in any capacity right now, I think today's episode will be especially valuable for you. Andrea and I talked about how importan...

Think of this period of time as a form of revelation, as a form of truth now coming to the surface because it can't be hidden under business. It can't be hidden under power. And we can't hide. Our true selves are going to come to the surface. Get full access to The Power Source at kerimangisauthor.substack.com/subscribe

It's really important to go write right now. It' doesn't matter what shape it takes in the end. You have a thought, write it down, save it for yourself. And you can come back to it later. And maybe the only point of that thought was that it comforted you right now. And maybe it's something more, and it's not your business right now. Your job is just to be present with what is.

This podcast is divided into 2 parts—the first 15 minutes are devoted to a discussion on identity. Starting at about the 15 minute mark, I transition into a 30-minute Yoga Nidra —a long, guided meditation through the Koshas—the "sheaths" or "layers" of the body. I wanted to do this episode today, outside of my normal rhythm, as something I can do to help during the Coronavirus and stay-at-home, so...

Authenticity is a willingness to pursue your interests, your values, what makes you happy, and then also a willingness to speak your truth and express your needs without apologizing for it. Get full access to The Power Source at kerimangisauthor.substack.com/subscribe

You did not choose this life for it to be easy. You did not choose this life to escape or get by on habit and routine. You wanted to come here to change, to evolve, to grow, and to learn. And sometimes just because of the nature of life, things get backed up. We've been on autopilot for way too long. And so all of this change and all of this transformation that was coming to us is sort of bottle j...

In this episode, Dyanne Kelley and I talk about what it takes to keep moving on a journey toward greater truth and authenticity. We agreed that it begins with deciding that we are worth saving. We also discuss the value of women's stories, the emotional challenges such as guilt and shame, and discuss what it means to ask ourselves the question, Who Am I, Really?

In this episode, I chat with my friend and founder of Mxe, Heather Corndorf. Here's just a snippet of what she had to say: "Heather: Right and that these are all the the core values are, these are internal words at MXE, and it's our vision. So, on the surface, it looks like we're, you know, moving around and dancing, laughing which we are, but the whole purpose I see this vision that these people...

There's all kinds of information out there, but then there's also this incredible power we all have just innately, and that's our intuition. Get full access to The Power Source at kerimangisauthor.substack.com/subscribe

A lot of what this podcast is talking about so far is power as it relates to our place in the world—our courage to stand up for things, our ability to influence, lead and persuade, our strength as we move out into the world with our voice and our sense of personal authority. But there is another angle to this kind of power that we are trying to awaken. And that's the power of sovereignty. That pow...

Personal growth was not only for childhood. We are all walking around, wounded in some way. For this planet to heal, and for us humans to continue to evolve, we must begin ourselves. If we don't fully recognize our human stories for what they have to teach us, hoping instead, that by ignoring them they will go away, we will never actually be free Get full access to The Power Source at kerimangisau...

But now I've learned the importance of empowering myself. When it comes from within, it's a completely different kind of power. It is not a contingent or conditional power. It simply is a part who we are. Get full access to The Power Source at kerimangisauthor.substack.com/subscribe

Anger's Fire "Anyone can become angry, that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way that is not within everyone's power. And it's not easy." Aristotle anger Anger is a challenging emotion because it is fire and fire is hard to manage. But when used appropriately, it can create a fire that brings...

Resisting the Pull and Power of the Status Quo   The status quo is a force of power that keeps a society stuck. But, to best challenge the societal status quo, we must first challenge our own. Why is it that as we grow up, we become incurious? As we move from childhood to adulthood, we slowly lose that sense of pushing back, questioning authority, or challenging norms and rules. What's even w...
