How to Cultivate True Self-Reliance in a Time of Chaos and Change

 

What is True Self-Reliance?

Being self-reliant has many definitions. It means trusting in yourself—your inner wisdom, your strengths, your unique gifts. It’s about knowing that deep within you lies everything you need to navigate life’s challenges. While there are many ways to describe self-reliance, I want to focus here on the most important one: your connection to your inner self, your higher guidance, and your Essential Nature.

This quiet, powerful part of you—sometimes called your intuition, your God Self, Source, or Divine Intelligence—is your true compass. This power is the only true lasting thing you can depend upon since it is the Divine expression of you in human form. When you nurture this connection, you begin to understand that you are never truly alone. You have within you a wellspring of strength, clarity, and peace that you can draw from at any moment.

This power is the only true lasting thing you can depend upon since it is the Divine expression of you in human form. Your inner self knows everything there is to know about you, and when you begin to turn your attention away from the outer chaos and focus on the stillness of your very being,   you will feel more relaxed and begin to trust that life has your back. This is one of the most powerful things you can do for yourself at this time.

Being self-reliant doesn't mean you never ask for help or support. Quite the opposite. Knowing when and how to receive support is actually part of being self-aware and strong. But in a world that often feels uncertain, fast-moving, and full of noise—from media, fear-based narratives, and global events—it’s easy to lose touch with your own inner truth.

There is so much change happening every day, and there is much to distract you from your own inner knowing.  The constant barrage of fake news, geopolitical drama, and fear-mongering by the elites can easily cause anyone to feel overwhelmed.

That’s why it’s more important than ever to turn inward. The greatest gift you can give yourself is the ability to hear and trust your inner voice. Because no matter what happens outside of you, this inner connection is steady, wise, and true. When you anchor yourself in that place, you’ll find clarity amidst confusion, peace in the storm, and power where you once felt powerless.


Who Is Your Essential Self?

Your Essential Self is the truest, most eternal part of you. It’s the pure awareness that existed before the world told you who to be. It’s not shaped by fear, trauma, or conditioning—those are layers that life has added. Beneath them all, your Essential Self is: Infinite, omnipresent, omniscient, wise, whole, unconditionally loving, and in perfect harmony with all of life

This self is not separate from the Universe. In fact, it is an individualized expression of the same creative force that spins galaxies, grows forests, and breathes life into everything. You are not just in the universe. You are a co-creative part of it.

When you align with your Essential Self, you begin to live in harmony with the quantum field. You stop chasing, forcing, and fearing—and start attracting, allowing, and co-creating. This is the foundation of quantum living, which, when focused upon, will sustain your every need.

How to Deepen Your Connection with Your Essential Self & the Universe

  • Take Time to Meditate Daily. Meditation provides you with a specific time to relax into your Essential self and begin to connect with the stillness within. As you cultivate this connection and practice it in your life, it will grow stronger and stronger. Anchoring you when things in your life feel like they are pulling you off your center.

  • Feel More, Think Less
    Your Essential Self speaks through intuition and sensation, not logic alone. It is always loving and never judgmental; it will always offer wise counsel when you are receptive and ask for it. Start trusting the feeling of things more than just the facts.

  • Surrender the “How”
    The quantum field doesn’t need you to figure everything out. Set your intention, align your energy, and let the Universe handle the details.

  • Visualize and Feel Your Desired Reality
    When you feel something as if it’s already true, you are imprinting your energy into the field. This is how reality reshapes around your inner world.

  • Live in Gratitude and Trust
    Gratitude is a high frequency that magnetizes more blessings. Trust is the bridge between desire and manifestation.

  • Let the Mystery Be Magical
    You don’t have to understand everything. Let wonder, awe, and curiosity guide you. Your Essential Self thrives in the unknown—it’s where miracles live.

 Final Words of Encouragement

No matter what is going on around you, you can learn how to stay connected to your True Nature. You are not here to struggle and survive, even though you may feel that you have done little else.

You are here to awaken and thrive in harmony with your soul and the sacred intelligence that flows through all things. Your Essential Self already knows the way. The Universe is already listening. Your only job is to return to the truth of who you are—and trust that life is rising up to meet you.

What Makes a Woman Alluring and the Power of the New Feminine Mystique

Image
I love the word 'allure'. The word itself captivates one and I find it holds the energy of its meaning. To be alluring is 1) to temp or entice; 2) the power of attraction, 3) to beguile. It could also mean that one has charisma or even the power to seduce or be seductive. When one is 'alluring' the allured is under a “spell” or so it may seem. Don’t you just love knowing that if you are a woman you have the power to beguile? In fact that is where it all began in the mythical Garden of Eden when the Snake (symbol for sexuality) beguiled Eve to eat the apple of knowledge. The question I wish to explore here is if this is the old definition of what it means to be alluring then what could the new definition be? This is an important question for women to answer, for ever since the ‘fall’ we women have been trying to apologize for being a woman. I believe that the time has come to reshape, reconfigure and redefine what it means to be a woman who has allure or what I c...

Imagining A New Earth

Image
  Imagine a world where every individual is cherished, respected, and honored for their unique strengths and wisdom. A world where women are celebrated not just for their beauty but for their courage and insight, and where men are free to express their full range of emotions and potential, without judgment or fear. In this world, as young girls and boys come of age, they are welcomed into adulthood with sacred ceremonies that teach them to embrace their bodies and themselves with love and acceptance. There is no shame in self-love, no hesitation in celebrating the beauty of intimacy. Here, the elders gently guide the young, teaching them about love, responsibility, and the wonder of adulthood. This world is one where men and women stand as equals, working hand-in-hand to build communities rooted in respect and collaboration. Everyone’s unique gifts are recognized and valued, and every person plays a vital role in shaping the health, education, and well-being of the whole. Gender is...

Girls and Sex, Living in the Hook Up Culture

Image
Recently, I revisited Peggy Ornstein's insightful book, "Girls and Sex," penned in 2016. It was a journey to reconnect with her research and insights into various aspects of girls' experiences and perspectives on sexuality, relationships, and identity. I wanted to see if there had been any shifts since the book's publication and, if so, what they were. Did girls still navigate similar challenges in the realms of sex, dating, and the infamous hook-up culture? As someone deeply entrenched in teaching women's sexuality and serving as a sex educator for years, I found some of the anecdotes from young women disheartening. Their accounts of navigating the patriarchal landscapes of college life, particularly within dorms, sororities, or frat houses, shed light on persistent issues. Questions lingered: Was the outdated excuse of "boys will be boys" still prevalent, especially within fraternities? Did girls still feel pressured to conform, to be sexually ac...
