Are you aware of how much power you have?
I remember having a panic attack giving a televised speech for the China Elite Fashion Show Competition airing on major Asian networks. Sensations took me out of my body and had me feeling severed and ungrounded from the moment while thinking, โIs this what ๐ฅ๐บ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ feels like?โ
Afterward, I grappled with the enormity of the experience. Beneath a growing fear of another panic attack was a realization that I had the power to produce such a debilitating stateโand I could do it with just a single thought! At age 24, I found myself scared to "death" by my power. I wanted to know if it was possible to create the antidote.
Leaving that world behind, I dove into psychology and, for over 20 years, explored mindfulness, opening me in unimaginable ways. In my daily mindful practice, I noticed sensations and feelings experienced in the present moment reveal important information. I realized we need to procure a consistently open and willing mind to access this โscience;โ We can ride the โinwardโ elevator up to get a higher perspective, and that panic attacksโlike all anxiety and fear symptomsโare signals to look inside.

The truth is you have already seen what your power can do. If youโve...
-had a panic attack;
-said yes to energy zappers;
-stayed at unfulfilling jobs keeping you playing small;
-kept toxic people around and felt joyless; or
-found yourself reacting to life, and things only got worseโฆ
Youโve seen what your power can do.
The question to ask yourself is: Have you seen what you ๐ธ๐ข๐ฏ๐ต your power to do?
What if your power could

This starts with telling what I call a *truer* story. My truer story was what I loved was not the fashion world but rather connecting with people at an unfiltered level where truth and soul emerge.

The truer story is a portal to your true power. I call this your power-truth. What if you started embracing yours?
