Survival State is the basic structure that we are told to sustain our needs. It’s the generalized practice to get society to the baseline of survival. Survival state tells us to attain safe careers, create a safe family structure, to fall in line as much as possible to be rewarded with basic security in life.

However, survival state is the complete denial of self actualization. In a world that is increasingly evolving, we are being called to create past survival and cultivate our own passions and purpose.

Perhaps the pinnacle of the holistic experience is the awakening of the self. For me this came in the reclaiming of my power, resisting the desire of permission from others to follow my passions.

Ultimately, the awakening is realization of faith. Faith that your life to this point has reflected your strength and endurance. You have withstood the test of time, use that as the proof you need to know your success is determined upon YOUR permission to chase it. You have all of the resources.

Embodiment is the representation or expression of authenticity in a tangible or visible form. Embodiment is finding purpose from within, rather than seeking validation.

Through movement, gratitude, rituals, etc we learn our own power by pouring love and care into ourselves. What we care and tend to grows strong. The more moments we can find to feel embodied in our power, the more we cultivate in our purpose.
