Caroline Myss - Understanding Your Own Power - Part 1 

When she says that when you ask what your true purpose in life is, everything will be stripped from you, she is absolutely right. In 2018, my mother's alzheimer's got really bad, we had to sell my parents' house, she died, then a few years later my dad died, my brother & i had a huge falling out, i broke up w my boyfriend, i got into a car accident and my car got totaled, and i realized i couldn't keep going to catholic mass anymore, and that's not even a complete list. EVERYTHING got stripped away, changed, turned upside down. I'm still in the process of figuring out the answer to my question. But i am closer to it than i was, and even this much understanding i wouldn't have been capable of before all those losses.

I started listening to Caroline when I entered into recovery from a decade of using drugs. Her message is incredible and so true.

I have not been able to watch Carolyn the last two years. I’ve been in fight or flight and have been to raw to do any self reflection. It’s time to accept the world for what it is and continue my journey of healing. The world isn’t changing but I can change how I exist in it. Self healing is life or death for me.

This is sooooo much better than the super bowl!

You have been a guiding light for me since first I met you 50 yrs ago in a seminar in Philadelphia. May peace be with you as God moves through you; leaving peaces everywhere you go.❤❤❤

Walked the camino and was led to a note at the 11 km mark that said God will send you what you need when you need it and my hairs stood up as I reflected on my past and how all the people places and things have always popped into my life exactly when I needed It is so beautiful

We don’t need to understand our own power ! We just use it !! Quietly and soberly !! It is enough !!

Oh MY GOSH, at the 1.11.00 min mark my mind and my eyes just popped out of my head. " The journey to God is the journey to truth, it makes you aware of the other" "Our economic model is to not be aware of the other" "It's not just about men hating women........there are women wanting men who are badass warriors, and liking it.' Thank you Caroline for stating the truth. Thank you and God bless you.

I started crying when Caroline said: I always walking through God. I hope I understood right. I'm german and living in Switzerland❤

This is very interesting. I'm needing to listen to it in 20 min increments so that I can soak it all in.

Every single sentence is one big: Hell Yes!!!! This is exactly my experience!!!

Beautiful! Delighted to be listening to this powerful talk recommended by my friend, Angel.

I am so grateful all the cosmos led me to you. Thank you, Caroline!

God is the spark inside my heart. He sees hears....experiences everything

Caroline thank you so much for making this series available. I understood the building much better this time. I really love your explanation of God. We are so blessed to be alive today and to have people like you helping us to make the evolutionary leap needed for this time in history.

Thank you so much for your service Caroline. Your word’s truly changed my attitude towards life. I made peace within myself because you taught me how to surrender. I get it now. I still practice everyday to surrender. It is a daily practice for sure as I still attach myself to controlling yet I am more aligned. I pray constantly. Thank you. Just thank you.

I love listening to you speak. Thank you for your teachings

How can anyone be a warrior without knowing peace and sensitivity? My husband is really in touch with his emotions. One of his best qualities. But he can slay when he needs to. He can discern when to go and when not too.

I would love to also hear how the soul contract weaves into these teachings.

Love Carolyn Myss She is Master teacher!

Thank you for gifting us your knowledge.

So much grounding and truth in this lecture. Thank you 😊

Caroline you crack me up about your comments on the microphone, sound system and even how people handle the mic & speak. Love your spirit!!! 🙏🌈🌴

Same here with God in everything. Thanks for speaking of the intimacy of God's presence. Such a beautiful closing prayer too. Teresa is also my go to Saint. 💗🙏

She wears pearls.

This should be translated with subtitles into many languages! It would be a blessing!

She is so wonderful and knows so much. I have enjoyed this a lot. I always learn something from her. God bless you.

1:05:00 this confusion and ever increasing roster of spiritual beings and unseen entities to be concerned with is why I left “new age” spirituality.

Thank you so much, Carolyn. You, Michael Meade and Matthew Fox and certainly Mirabai Starr are who the human beings need to navigate these times of uncetainty. The description of your process of perceptions is a reflection of my own sensations and thoughts around healing. I was attached to the nursing profession until it succumbed through its own vulnerabilities to the limits of its biomedical vocabulary. Grace healed my own ills and is a practice I commit to on a daily basis giving as I receive.

Sent by “soulful revolution” and so glad! I have a little one, so I’m pulled between this and cocomelon but I am faithfully returning in ever 15 min span that I can. Thanks! 🦋

Thank for your generosity . Your words of wisdom and truth is opening up my mind and my soul . sending you Love .

Thank you so much for an amazing knowledge Caroline 🙏🙏💐💐 Loving your terminology - BUILDING 🏢 REALLY RESONATE FOR ME . 🥰😍

Amen to having the courage to break free of constrictive structures to accepting Truth endowed with Grace not based on an unhealthy fear of God.

Thank you Caroline - you never ever stop to surprice med with your wisdom - you woke med up and you keep me awake - I study your books to and follow up on what is does to me - aint always easy but is it so giving - Bless you and all your work -

That's how I feel when I am out in nature with animals: dwelling in holiness. I've never called it that, though. I'm unable to feel that way when I'm around people. And in the modern world I feel like technology is literally destroying my soul.

More people need to see this!!! Do you ever speak at Harvard Divinity School?

An incredible series on Power, Thank you Caroline. Ive gleaned much wisdom from your work, for my own in working with power. The Archeytpes and symbolism and language throughout historyand the etymology of not just our physical world but excavating what the truth is from our soul, has changed my work.

I absolutely loved the prayer we’re to do before bed. I literally FELT the words travel through my body & heart. The love, grace & truth of them brought tears to my eyes. Carolines prayers are incredibly powerful. What a blessing to have such a great speaker & teacher in my life. I’ve been following her for a decade+ & what I’ve gotten from her work over the yrs has changed me💚💙💜

This was an eye opener, can't believe I missed this one. Appreciate you so much, thank you.

Deat Caroline, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I always felt I had this power. It was non stop knocking on my head and back. But I never knew how to use it. Now I Know!!. Thank you!! You are amazing!

Thank you with Love and Gratitude

Love from Brazil ❤

Thank you I find it interesting that the hardest experiences (what could be easily perceived as negative’ was where the most learning & growth happened Changing forever the question why to what is the lesson here & up another floor I go with more grace each time it happens It is when I forget this truth that I flounder

Thank you for sharing this teaching.

Sooo Beautiful message Caroline ♥️👍🌸☘️🦋💃🏻 Thank you so much and much love from Sweden 🇸🇪🌍🦋🥰♥️🙏 Judgement equal innerheart Where do I stand?!?

Amen, and I loved every word that you said in this talk. Thank you.

Generating Grace section wow. Thank you for being crystal clear.

AMAZING !!!!!!THANK YOU CAROLINE

Thank you Caroline for your perspective, and all the thought you have put into things! I disagree, though, with your perspective about how women want men to be warriors, etc. It is your truth. For me, a warrior in one way, of which I also am a warrior, both spiritually, in income making, and when needed to defend others, etc. I wanted a partner, and made sure I was what I wanted. I like the balance of warrior, spiritual, and sensitivity, etc. ideally. Very difficult, very rare to find! Maybe in part women look more bc they are the ones being oppressed? Just a thought.

Wow!!! So powerful. Every word falling out of this extraordinary woman is priceless. Finished it off with brilliance and wisdom. Every women wants a bad ass warrior husband to walk this earth unharmed and it's the women's work to connect his soul to the divine source. Which is exactly why there is coincidently 🤔 or not there is not a single man in the room. Hallelujah!! And so it is. Long live Carolyn Myss. 💃💃

Thank you!❤️❤️❤️

Excellent services 👍❤️🙏 thanks lot

“God is everywhere and in everything “

thank you 🌹

Thankyou for your teaching. It is taking me up in the floors of my house.

Thank you..

Women love sensitive men and would love them to be at workshops with them.

Wonderfully explained thank you. .

I ❤ the part starting at 28:28 🙌🦄🖌️

Love you!

I find her, at every stage of my healiing. Or, does she find me?

Thank you 🕊 💞 🪽

God is either there or is not! Is your perception! Is like Love!

With time, I spend more and more time alone, and speak less and less. That's how it feels, maybe I'm wrong. My question is: how do I know if I am falling into despondency and passivity or actually becoming more aware of myself and rising up the floors?

I relate.💜

Im 👂 listening to Thank you 🎁🌸

Thank you for being real about our badass husband warriors. Love you darling!

'Huge God place' I love that!!

I love you.

Wow.....!!!

Question! Where does one- ( me) find a spirtual director? Your videos/workshops are my only directors... is that " ok" ?

just talk my heart out

Amen❤

🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲I weep 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

That ending :O

Hey guys, in the "shifting gears" chapter she talks about "asking to plunge deeply (take me down dear lord and show me the reason you gave me life)" and her first thing is "I`ve got to find you a spiritual director". As she also said, we`re not in a monastery, but her answer is "thank god, you`re here". Unfortunately I wasn`t at the workshop and don`t know how to find a spiritual director because of several reasons. All I got are bits and pieces of Caroline`s work. What do you think she would suggest for people with limited options? And what are your advices? Thanks!

❤

We women raise those little boys.

The “whirled” is stationary. Anyone in their “right” mind can feel that.😉

As a teenager I dreamed I was flown to the top of my building by a helicopter... vertical lifted... the upper floor was engulfed in flames. I hid under a table. Age 19 I had a vision that I painted onto a mirror, that the fire (red, orange, yellow) was like a whirlwind/tunnel and I was in the eye of the storm as a shell painted cool colours, greens, blues, purples and pink, protected, on a pilgrimage to my highest self that was visible in the unpainted mirror in the middle where the light was able to reflect. The mirror painting was hung on the wall and then was broken suddenly... at age 21... I dreamed more about a corridor and the building again...aged 22 I am here now 46 and living those dreams in reality. Right now I'm reclining by The Harmony Tree with a sheild of David carved into it... outside the studio I live in... just like the blue triangle on the red triangle star over the door at the end of the corridor in my epic dream as a 22 year old. The star of David was intermittent with a 5 pointed star in a circle that has importance through my pilgrimage, too.. This has been the foundation laying for the purpose of my life. I bring water to balance and bring harmony to work with fire... calm is a very (super) natural and firm foundation. I also get to combine Earth and Air equally mixed with an uplifting spirit within the protective circle of wise boundaries, standards and limits. I was raised Christian, cracked wide open at 19 by a book called Centering: A Guide to Inner Growth. with an onslaught of ethereal beings to give ear to... I would write as much of their combined downloads as I could, on a variety of linguistic, musical and science-ish topics... the 3 geniuses talking at the same time caused me to say No to the overwhelm and shut the roller doors on my spiritual ears. I still had visions, dreams and heard and followed the singlular voice soon after that saved my life. From age 22 I spent some years in pagan circles and after researching and light practices of many religions I developed a sense of how truth, even in different languages, felt in my body. That's the season I saw and bought the Caroline Myss - Soul Contracts workbook. Thank you for your persistence !! You are a spiritual elder of mine. My education continued when I moved my 2 children to a rural town to raise them in the fresh air and big skies... I spent 12 years on strong pharmaceutical psych meds after I trusted the new Dr, there. I've been psych med free for 1 year now. God isn't finished with me yet. When my brain cleared from the strong psych medicine I stood in the boarding house upstairs from the Mandaen (John the Baptist followers) shop in Western Sydney in February this year and I spoke 4 life giving words out loud.. "I want The Truth. " Then the rising and zooming out started... i flew to far north Qld ... I was saved from death by a First Nations lady when my mum was 6 months pregnant with me... i am near where her mob lived.. i keep my crown lifted to the Heavens... i walk a lot...my hands practice waving joyfully. Working with daily visions, nightly dreams, whispered knowings and obedience. The dream I am living concluded with me living here, with my shaved head, check. Star of David I rest under, check. And I stumble around in this dark room til I open the curtain and let the light in.. and I climb out the window, run through the grass in the field to the tall tree out the back of the house yard. Frolicking merrily I dance around the tree. So.. I'm just here skipping and dancing...in the field now, the Elder Tree is magnificent. So strong and tall. Me n God, we just... Step step rest... happily. *Smiles*. Practising letting go, I get to be Peace on Earth from the inside out, Goodwill to all. Taking healing to the nations, stopping to smell the flowers and I sleep so good that I am a medical miracle. I get to be an artist today... when I paint there is MORE peace. This is the 2nd table I've painted. The first had a green and pink heart chakra symbol on it, was gifted to someone who needed it... This one is black, white, silver and GLITTER (union of opposites) and tripple moon themed. Organic, hydroponic gardening is the next step that has been lit for me to step towards.. I like this adventure. God is so good to me. The way my body formed in the womb was called deformed, defective and disabled ... managed simply with 1 suppliment that may be released as healing flows, given the continued intutive nutrition of my current practice and best of all is the internal harmony when I'm in God's presence...my inner building rises to include all who wish to enter... with levels of healing available on each floor...so I live in the flow, surrendered to God and kind to whoever is sent my way...where else would I wanna be... I'm in the shell of His Love. ..and you're right...they might be angels in faded jeans. God is drawing me closer every day in every way. Social media went, water fasting started, lobbying the medical ombudsman is a combined, synergistic, healing cooperative adventure. Blissed and Blessed. I am really enjoying your youtube videos. I grok ya. I am grateful you are You. Thank you Caroline. I've got a few decades to catch up on in your journey. I am glad you're Here, Now.

💙💚💜

Why do you think we had a pandemic? Was that not enough to energize and sort out the inevitability of preciousness of life?

FANTASTIC! Thank you SO mich!

I loved everything Caroline said about who/what God is and that we are awakening and becoming more conscious to ourselves and realizing we are all connected (nature, animals, humans). That has been my experience as well. But what I disagree with is what she said at the end about women wanting their men to be bad-ass warriors and bring home the bacon, and not to be sensitized in a place like that. This is very outdated view of male/female relationships/dynamics. I am married but I am the bad-ass warrior and the economic master mind of our finances, not my husband. I make twice what he does and I am also more awakened and conscious. In fact, that is the area I have the most issue with him because I feel I have learned and grown so much more than he has and it makes it really hard to relate to him because we are on opposite planes (stories in the building). I think women are innately more intuitive, nurturing, and consciously connected to the universe, and the reason I feel there are more women than men seeking out enlightenment (at least in the western world). Men tend to be more caught up in the critical mind until something happens to awaken them.

She seems to be very rigid and authorative. When someone ask her a question she makes this person feel foolish. She said to one lady : Don't say you to me while she is referring to us with "you" all the time. She speaks also very dramatic..

No Caroline! Cannot believe your answer to the last persons question. It is shocking, to say the least. The women dare not say that its bullshit.

Do men go to these talks?

I like the talk, but it is a great assumption that she claims to know what people have said in the past. Eg ‘nobody has ever said this before’ ….haven’t they? How do you know?

1:07:07 God is.

For FAR roo long men have been taught to avoid feelings and shows weakness. Empoeer men to feel and that pain if o.k. then, it will not be a movement of mostly women.

I love what she said about men. Im a man and have been on a spiritual journey for decades. That has been in part made much easier being single, not choosing the role of provider, householder. Women often dont have the same pressures of being a provider of financial resources that men do. That means men must be focused on survival, the physical world. Women seem to take that for granted sometimes because they are “taken care of” by men. How many women in this room paid for attending this lecture with money in part or whole provided by men!? The entitlement and assumed privilege that many women enjoy is one of those unspeakable things.

I’m trying to get to know you more by watching your videos. But I’m still very confused especially when you referred to God as “it”. So do you believe in God. The lord Jesus Christ or are you trying to also connect with others who believe in another form of a higher power?

Chalkras😂

I want to be bigger than superstition, Carolina, and as accepting as God is.

Explanations of what one is going to say aggravate, and speaking in generalties with no definite topic presented annoys.

Oh dear, this is strictly for the religious? It looks like it’s aimed solely at middle aged and elderly Christian white women. A friend recommended it to me, but I’m agnostic. A shame that it isn’t for a wider audience.

I started listening and reading ur books in 2009. Its helped me so much. Hover over me god
