Today we focus on your internal strength. No, not the boundless muscles of a bodybuilder, or professional athlete, but the strength of heart and mind. Recognizing your intrinsic strength is the first step in realizing your true potential in warding off those negative influences. Remembering that you have the ability and authority to set your mind and heart any way you want.
We must always keep in mind that wisdom can only be gained through the experiences we have in this physical life time. For it is through our pain and joy that we are able to interconnect the stacks of knowledge we have gained to the emotional state of the moment to construct this state called wisdom. Each day brings new experiences that teach us the emotional stability we need to regain control of our interpretation of the world around us.
The courage to be ourselves in this modern day of societal conformity and pressures to meet the unrealistic expectations of an advertised and marketed understanding creates more stress than we need. The courage to be honorable when dealing with ourselves should be our path.
Today is all about understanding that you have all you need to find happiness in your own life. Mani has taught us that we alone, possess the authority to change our perspective on every experience we have in this physical life time. There is no need to invest in any expensive retreats, or trainings, we simply exercise the gift of changing our perspective.

The Norse god Thor was known, throughout his evolution north with the a Germanic tribes, for many different traits that he exemplified. None more prevalent than his physical and mental strength, demonstrated many times through the many sagas. His mental strength shows us what we can become. What we possess within our minds.
Hopefully we have recovered from the emotional roller-coaster that the holidays can sometimes bring. Our batteries are recharged and ready for a wonderful week of exciting experiences that continue to help us build our wisdom. Fully experiencing a life of emotional ups and downs provides us with a spiritual education that cannot be received anywhere else in the universe.
Understanding the interchange of influential energies that affect our everyday living is our greatest gift from the goddess Freyja. Being able to recognize this energy and manage its effect on our individual mental health affords us the opportunity to successfully manage the influence and take back control of our emotional journey.
