Fifth Power of Presence: Opportunity Knocks
Welcome to the fifth Power of Presence. I hope you can already start to feel the energetic differences between what we’ve covered so far. The weight and exhaustion of the lowest Powers is releasing and evolving into expansive, growth oriented, connected energy. Even as I write about each Power I find it so much more fun and joyful as I make my way up and release all of the heaviness.
The fifth Power is my favorite. Maybe it’s because it’s my predominant Power but I just love it. It makes me excited to explore, write about, and share. The fifth Power is where Opportunity Knocks. It’s all about possibilities, growth, and expansion - how can that not be exciting?!?
Where as the third Power was all about settling, not challenging the status quo, and accepting things for what they are, the fifth Power is where you see options in abundance. When the inner voice is saying ‘what’s the opportunity here’, ‘what might this mean’, or ‘where can I go from here’ that’s energy coming from the fifth power. It’s action oriented with a sense of curiosity, openness, and confidence that the answer, direction, or clarity will come.
The idea of purpose and then living, working, taking action from that place of purpose is rooted here in the fifth Power. This comes because here we find true confidence in our self. Our actions are not to please others, to win against others in a fight, to prove a point. Rather, it’s for the pure joy and excitement that they bring us. So even if things don’t go as anticipated the experience and opportunities are what we’re after. With a sense of purpose and detachment from outcome the fifth Power brings ease and calm in all that we do.
This is why I love the fifth Power so much. Every moment is an opportunity and a chance to choose how to respond. I also find that connections with others and self become effortless. The confidence of self, the abundance of opportunities, and detachment from outcome suddenly makes your magnetic. People are drawn to your energy and your joy.
As discussed earlier, like energy attracts like energy, so why not have it come from this higher Power. By tapping into the fifth Power you will not only transform yourself and your outlook but that of those around you. You’ll be that person who people say, ‘I can’t put my finger on it, but I just want to be around this person’. What you desire will be drawn to you and you’ll wonder why.
With awareness and practice you’ll find yourself easily connecting with the highest Powers of Presence and stepping into your fullest potential creating everyday magic. There’s so much potential in all of us if we can harness the energy that allows us to expand, grow, and effortlessly show up in this world. Opportunity is knocking, we just need to answer!
The next installment will cover the final two Powers and how to tap deeply and confidently into intuition to create even greater connection. As with each of the prior posts I invite you to take a moment to pause and consider how the fifth Power shows up in your life. How you are already connecting into it and what would it be like to have more. Feel free to write things down, journal, whatever helps you. And again, with all of this, just be curious. There’s no judgement, just greater awareness.
When does it appear?
What triggers these feelings?
How long do you sense that it lasts for?
What do you notice about how you show up in the world when you’re feeling the fifth Power?
How does viewing the world, or a specific situation, as full of opportunity rather than stuck or settling for ‘what is’ shift your perspective?
