Random thoughts from a Dane on Empowerment, MT and how to be of Service🌱

We don’t have a word in Danish that can translate easily into Empowerment so it has been integrated into our language as a foreign word.

I’m somewhat of a geek in many ways, and I like to look up the actual agreed meaning of a word – just to learn what the dictionary teaches us about certain terms and labels.

Empowerment from https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/empowerment:

1: the act or action of empowering someone or something: the granting of the power, right, or authority to perform various acts or duties

Examples of meaning:

Malcolm X, the eloquent spokesman for black empowerment who, in 1965, was gunned down at the age of 39 in New York City, continues to influence the political, social, and cultural climate of our society. ~ Joe Wood

Therefore, part of the cure for poverty was empowerment—training the residents of a poor neighbourhood to organize themselves and learn to get things from the power structure. ~ Nicholas Lemann

2: the state of being empowered to do something: the power, right, or authority to do something

I have been gathering experience with the MT Light Counselling since November last year in different ways:

1) A 33 day Light Counsel process including 2 MT Distance Healing/Massage sessions. Light Counsel has been done through Messenger and the setup has been to just exchange with the Counsellee whatever came through and to assist them during whatever would transpire from resting in Source Vibration for 33 consecutive days.

2) Soul Alignment Attunement followed by a 33 day Light Counsel process aimed at assisting through whatever was brought up from the alignment process and to help them rediscover the dynamics of Source – how to live a Source-led life. Especially the surrender aspect has been in the foreground as it is ever so challenging for our Ego’s. Again done through Messenger. It was suggested to not write every day to also make space for the silence and what occurs in that divine space.

3) A 7 day Light Counsel process for one already attuned with the Soul Alignment Attunement. This particular Attunee had had serious trouble sleeping both before and after Attunement and I had the feeling the Attunee could benefit from a holding space with the Light Counselling aspect of MT but I had no idea how it would work.

Here are some of the findings from the processes I’ve had the honour of partaking in:

Ad 1) Being of service through the light, not imposing tools, techniques or teachings but offering nothing but my presence and continuously bearing witness to what was unfolding just from being consciously connected with MT has taught me heaps.

The less doing, the less imposing, the fewer goals/wanting/will/agenda I had, the more unfolded by itself. And did so graciously, effortlessly and also very lovingly and harmoniously.

It at some level shook my world, as I am trained as a psychotherapist and also have knowledge of coaching, and although neither of these modalities needs to be forceful in any way – there is always an element of “getting the client from A to Be”. There is a sense of ‘work’ and ‘working’.

With the MT Light Counselling, this is totally refrained from. I, of course, fell right into the trap several times and could easily feel the response from Source and the Counsellee: pressure, discomfort, distortion.

So my main takeaway was “the less I do, the better”. I had to redefine myself as a person of being of service. I had to let go of ‘giving, doing, facilitating, working, being a therapist’ and relax totally into trust and being.

Nothing more nothing less: ABSOLUTE TRUST AND BEING IN ZERO POINT.

Ad 2) I’ve facilitated several Soul Alignment Attunements but offered as a one hour distance attunement. I was, of course, available to Attunees for them to contact me if and when needed after the Attunement. Through that experience, I learned that most people actually have a hard time self-regulating and flowing with the dynamics unfolding after an Attunement although all the support needed is inbuilt in the Attunement itself.

So after finishing my own Light Counsellor Training last year, I had the idea that I would like to combine the SAA with a 33 day Light Counsel process.

It is again amazing to bear witness to what unfolds after an Attunement. I kept getting the impulse to not superimpose anything on the Attunee but “walk beside and just offer my presence”, maybe a bit of timely advice, sharing of personal experience or perhaps a few inputs from my professional background.

I found that most of my work with the two Attunees I have been working with through this setup has been to act as a sounding board. For them to write whatever they felt like and for me to listen, to really pay attention and perhaps ask questions back. Gently offer a few words of inspiration for them to find their own way back to their Source, so they start trusting tapping from their own wisdom and connection.

Now – back to the very definition of Empowerment:

1: the act or action of empowering someone or something: the granting of the power, right, or authority to perform various acts or duties

2: the state of being empowered to do something: the power, right, or authority to do something

What is it we actually do with the MT?

I honestly don’t think we can empower each other. It is a personal choice of each person if they wish to take back the power, they currently are giving away.

But by acting as a focal point for MT Source Vibration, the client can empower him or herself.

So we act as a focal point. Nothing more. Nothing less.

By being this focal point for MT Source Vibration, we offer a space of enabling. We offer a space for that person to choose to rediscover their innate Source.

What I have learned the most from MT since I started my training in November 2016, is the delicate balance between humbleness and my own empowerment.

There are so many pitfalls when being of service. The gravest is thinking one is God. Well, in a way, we all are, and we are all doing Gods work, but the LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS FROM WHICH WE SERVE makes the whole difference.

I think we as facilitators – whatever level we work at – if it is for our own personal benefit and that of our friends and family, if it is in a professional capacity, as a “teacher” – we have to do our own shadow work.

By that I mean to ask oneself deeply:

Why am I doing the work I am doing?

What drives me?

What would I lose if I suddenly did not do my work / was unable to do my work?

And the surface answers are not sufficient.

This kind of self-inquiry will reveal motives that can be very self-serving and that is perfectly fine. This is the exact purpose of asking these questions. It takes real courage to ask these questions.

Getting the answers – not the right answers but the REAL icky truthful answers can spare us and our clients loads of time, money and heartake as we can proceed to work as facilitators conscious of our shadows.

The key is to be aware, to be honest, and to constantly monitor oneself and one’s motives.

We have a saying in Danish: “As the devil reads the bible”.

This saying is all about how we as humans can take any beautiful tool, modality, teaching etc. that was made for serving in the name of Divine Order, Truth, Love and Light and still use it as a tool to serve the Ego.

Being a so-called spiritual teacher is, in my opinion, the most strict spiritual practice of all practices – even though I don’t like to label and compare things.

Spiritual teachers have to navigate in a field of projections, their clients “positive projections” of the teacher being the “saviour”.

Spiritual teachers are dealing with broken people – often very broken people. We have to be mindful of what that implies and what it requires of us to not continue the unhealthy learned behaviour of asymmetrical relations, codependency and lack of trust in the self already being fully able and capable.

I know I’m touching on a delicate subject but this has been inside me for some time now and I find it important to address our role, our work and the pitfalls and to have an open, honest and respectful dialogue about it.

Much love,
