Episode 17: Sacred Power
25 Plays1 year ago
In this episode of Sacred Self-Love, I take you on a journey into my childhood, a time when I was deeply open to the spiritual world—before trauma imprints dimmed that connection. I share how I unconsciously continued to give my power away in relationships and the profound realizations that helped me reclaim it. We’ll explore the truth that sacred power isn’t about control over others but about standing fully in our own energy. When we try to control, we are actually disconnected from our true strength. This episode is an invitation to recognize where you may be giving your power away and how to step into the fullness of your sacred self. 💫✨ #SacredPower #HealingJourney #SelfLove #SpiritualAwakening

Spring and Sacred Power
00:01:14
Valerie Vazquez
And so I wanted to just start this episode with, there's not a lot of updates on the farm, except for that it is full spring and flowers are blooming everywhere. There's the orchids and the pua kinikini and the gardenias and the all of the trees that are going to be bearing fruit are flowering. And it's it's just such a beautiful time here right now. I mean, it's always beautiful.
00:01:48
Valerie Vazquez
But it is, i love to see the spring flowers and the emergence of all of this new life, this rebirth, this promise that we are moving into this time of energy. And um yeah, so it's just, it's beautiful here.
00:02:13
Valerie Vazquez
and
00:02:15
Valerie Vazquez
The purpose of today's episode is to really hopefully help you remember bur and to also go deeper into the understanding of your sacred power.
00:02:37
Valerie Vazquez
And ah wanted to share ah story And I wanted to share a deeper realization.
Societal Influences and Personal Truth
00:02:53
Valerie Vazquez
So we know that when we are on ah journey of a spiritual healing journey, we are shedding layers of
00:03:08
Valerie Vazquez
painful energy that has been stored in us, that has limited us from our full potential, that has kept us in
00:03:20
Valerie Vazquez
ah place that is separate from truth. And it's it's none of our fault. You know, it it has happened through our relationship with our parents. It's happened through friends. It's happened through school. It's happened through religion, government.
00:03:44
Valerie Vazquez
You know, there's so many factors that are basically working against us. But the thing is, is that our soul chose these lessons and our soul chose to move through these so that we could come back to our truth and back to a connection with spirit, source, universe, goddess, God, however you resonate with that energy.
Astrological Events and Personal Energy
00:04:21
Valerie Vazquez
And in the process, of this journey you know there's there's a reason why it's it's called a spiral path because we continue to go deeper and deeper into our understanding and deeper and deeper into our own consciousness and even you know seeing how we operated through our subconscious programming And right now, today is actually when I'm recording this, we are in, it's a new moon in Aries.
00:05:01
Valerie Vazquez
And the sun is also in Aries. So I don't know about you, but I feel so good during the fire signs. I just, it is like my home. I have so much energy during this time.
00:05:14
Valerie Vazquez
And with Aries, Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. So really this is the beginning of the year. Yes, I know that our calendar says that it's January, but no.
00:05:31
Valerie Vazquez
We are coming into a new year now. And so you're probably feeling a bit better, you know, as mean, because we are getting the sunshine in the spring and everything is blooming and all of these beautiful things. So this new moon in aries and sun in aries today and we have a partial solar eclipse we're also with venus she just moved out of the sign of aries and into pisces and she is in her morning star phase where we are actually able to see her visibly so like over this course of this month
00:06:07
Valerie Vazquez
You know, we have been journeying through some deeper layers of our psyche and we've been burning through karma. And so things have, I don't know about you, but for me, things have been coming up for me to take a look at.
00:06:24
Valerie Vazquez
And Following and knowing these cycles, you can allow yourself to be prepared for this shedding, for this rebirth.
00:06:38
Valerie Vazquez
But going into it unknowingly and you're you're just kind of walking you know blindly through this and and you're like things are not working out and things are really bubbling up in your relationships and you're just feeling...
00:06:52
Valerie Vazquez
A lot, you know, for me, knowing what's going on astrologically and following the placement of where Venus is, for me, it really helps me to be like, okay, yes, these things are really going to be activated right now. And I get to choose how I walk through this.
00:07:12
Valerie Vazquez
And you'll hear hear me talk about this all the time. Slowing down, becoming in alignment with yourself, breathing, getting that you know root court down into the earth so that you can feel safe and stable in your body, regulating your nervous system.
Masculine vs. Feminine Journeys
00:07:32
Valerie Vazquez
It will help all of these times of these you know major shifts happening.
00:07:37
Valerie Vazquez
They'll become a lot easier for you if you can allow yourself this the space and time to go within.
00:07:51
Valerie Vazquez
And so during, you know, this last couple of weeks or so, I've definitely felt some things that were intense in my relationship with Chad.
00:08:03
Valerie Vazquez
Now, when I say tense, this is like on a scale of like two compared to the way it used to be out of 10. We've come so far. But because we're both on a journey And we've, you know, we are different.
00:08:21
Valerie Vazquez
ah You'll hear me talk about that. the The feminine, the masculine, they're very different in their journeys. You know, men are very much in their minds. And then once women, once we want to really connect in and, you know,
00:08:37
Valerie Vazquez
allow the divine feminine, we move into our bodies and that's where we create safety. We're unable to basically anything outside of you, you're, is it's going to take a lot for someone to really hold space for you and make you feel fully safe.
00:08:55
Valerie Vazquez
That's where you get to to do this process of nervous system regulation and to I don't know if you've heard of Dr. Kelly Brogan, but she talks about self-husbanding or like creating that safe masculine within you so that you don't need anyone outside of you.
00:09:19
Valerie Vazquez
And um so what we've been moving through and what I've seen in myself is This has been the thing that I have worked gone for so long is when someone outside of me tries to control me or to change what it is that I'm doing in the moment, whether it be like a comment about what I'm wearing or how I'm doing something
00:09:51
Valerie Vazquez
I know that this process of of healing the inner child, healing the maiden is being able to, you know, take her hand and say, okay, we got this. And it doesn't matter what anyone else outside of us does.
00:10:08
Valerie Vazquez
But there has just been this repeated cycle that my soul has been trying to get me to see for like ever.
00:10:20
Valerie Vazquez
And I feel like I finally shed it. And it is this understanding that we, every time that we allow someone outside of us to cause disruption within us, we are giving our power away.
Childhood Spirituality and Societal Pressures
00:10:41
Valerie Vazquez
and I have tried over and over again with Chad to, know, tell him, you know you know, please don't tell me what to do.
00:10:53
Valerie Vazquez
I'm an adult. I'm a woman. i can do this. I don't need you to tell me what I can wear. i mean, he doesn't tell me what I can wear. Let me rephrase that. If I choose to wear something and he comments on it, I'm like, I will wear what I want.
00:11:07
Valerie Vazquez
And the thing is, is the deeper truth is this. As a child, I realized that I was very open. i My third eye was open when I was a little girl, and I saw colors at night, and there was a lot of turbulent things going on during this time with um my My family life, you know, my my father was really struggling. And um this was before that he took his life. And I know my mother was struggling too. There was a lot of struggle going on.
00:11:47
Valerie Vazquez
and I have so much compassion, love for them. But as a little girl, um I was open at that time. I was i saw colors at night. And I know that that was, you know, ah spirit coming in and just...
00:12:01
Valerie Vazquez
you know, surrounding me with love angels, and I would have visions and I would actually see spirits, I would, I would see them and they would protect me. And every night something would come in and and would embrace me.
00:12:18
Valerie Vazquez
and it was just like this time where I throughout my life, I didn't connect the dots until I started doing this work. I didn't understand that that would, that is what I was experiencing.
00:12:36
Valerie Vazquez
Holy moly. That's what I was experiencing. can't say that word for some reason, but through life, when we are controlled or when we are not able to express ourselves and not able to listen to our intuition anymore, our sacred power is squashed and we we forget.
00:13:03
Valerie Vazquez
we we don't have the connection anymore. We've lost it. That connection to the spiritual world can can be taken away from you because you you know have all of these traumas that happen to you and And you are not able to say the things that you want to say. You're not able to stand in your truth. And, you know, you got to be a good little girl and and you got to wear this and not that. And, you you know, all of these ways that you are your power is squashed and inevitably, you know, taken away from you. And it's not always that that a parent is is trying to take that away. But let's be honest, a lot of parents aren't aware
00:13:47
Valerie Vazquez
because if they're not tuned into their own intuition and inner guidance, and they are operating in survival and not having a regulated nervous system, then, you know, they're just trying to hurry you along in life.
00:14:02
Valerie Vazquez
And so there's so many other things that happened throughout my life that took my power away, you know, some were by force, some, some were just you know, that's just basically what happens.
Relationships and Self-Awareness
00:14:17
Valerie Vazquez
But once I reawakened to my power and to understanding of, you know, the the need to clear out these energies that have held me back, i have seen how it has affected me.
00:14:36
Valerie Vazquez
But there was still that little piece in me that I was trying to control what was happening on the outside of me. I was trying to get Chad to understand that every time that he would like try to comment about what I was wearing or try to like take, ah you know, just whatever little thing would happen,
00:15:03
Valerie Vazquez
it would get, i would get this little feeling inside of like this anger, you know, it used to be really, really strong. And now it's just like, I noticed that it's like still that little trigger that happens. And all of the times that we have a trigger inside of us, it's just giving us permission to look at it and not try to make someone else stop what they're doing, because I can't control anyone outside of me and what they do or how they perceive me or what programs they're running, or whatever it is they're doing. Like there is no way that that is possible.
00:15:42
Valerie Vazquez
Now there's things that, you know, if you're in relationship that obviously you won't stand for. i talked about this in the last episode that we do have to voice things that are not okay and they're not right as long as, you know, we are not going to be and any physical situation.
00:16:03
Valerie Vazquez
But it's very important to continue to like realize that I'm, I'm probably never going to get until whatever chad Whatever work he does on himself, I'm probably never going to get him to try to to stop the way like stop him from being who he is.
00:16:26
Valerie Vazquez
Even if I know that he might be trying to, you know, do something out of a wounding, like he's trying to protect me, but he doesn't need to protect me because I don't need protection in that actual moment.
00:16:38
Valerie Vazquez
Like things can go really deep in the understanding of subconscious programming, but I'm not going to get him to stop certain ways until he gets to that clearing in himself until he heals certain aspects of himself so I just really realized on a deeper level because a lot of times the conversations we have it's like if he tries to deny my reality or if anyone else tries to deny my reality there's that piece of me that little girl that gets separated from
00:17:16
Valerie Vazquez
from what she knows inside is truth for her. It tries to separate me and doesn't allow me to see what I see.
00:17:29
Valerie Vazquez
doesn't you know allow me to be in the gifts and be in the powers that I have unlocked. And so i felt that deep, like, you know, I feel when that oracle comes through me,
00:17:46
Valerie Vazquez
I feel in my soul that what I'm seeing you trying to do to me is a sense of control. And yeah, I can see it, but I can't make you stop doing it. Does that make sense? Like I cannot, even though I can see it and I can call it out, the moment I call it out, I trigger another wound within him.
00:18:11
Valerie Vazquez
And when I trigger that wound with within him, he's just going to become defensive. He's just going to, you know, say that's not what I'm trying to do. um And i am just going to give my husband kudos because he really has come a long way.
00:18:27
Valerie Vazquez
We both have come a long way in this journey. And he doesn't always defend himself, but there's so many layers of like in that moment, I'm Yeah.
00:18:39
Valerie Vazquez
If I call him out on something in a moment and my energy has shifted into a bit of anger, it's going to trigger the defensiveness in him. It's going to trigger his inner energy. It's a whole thing.
00:18:50
Valerie Vazquez
But what I really realized on a deeper level is no one outside of you truly knows what you are able to see and feel and what your connection is.
00:19:02
Valerie Vazquez
But the moment that you try to change them or can and you're in initially or actually trying to control them right back. It's like this whole thing just starts and it starts going out of control, you know, and it, and it, depending on where you are, it can trigger so much that you close your heart off to love and you you know shut down, you move away, you fight, like all of these things in relationships start really going off.
Embracing Sacred Power
00:19:37
Valerie Vazquez
And um so what i realized is that, yeah, i if I know what my truth is, and I know what my sacred power is, and I can see the energy behind what he's trying to do, I don't have to accept that.
00:19:53
Valerie Vazquez
I no longer have to accept that Anything that is outside of me trying to take my power away and my knowing and my feeling and the essence of who I am.
00:20:07
Valerie Vazquez
you know, I'm going to stand in that sacred power by not giving it away. So i also just wanted, yeah, I just, thank you so much for being along on this journey and like letting me share with you some of the things that I've unraveled. But this year is, wanted to share, it is the year of the snake. It is the serpentine. It is this energy of allowing yourself
00:20:40
Valerie Vazquez
As a woman, to it experience the sacred power within you when this snake rises up your spine and turns on your kundalini energy, your shakti, your divine feminine, there's nothing to fear.
00:20:57
Valerie Vazquez
Your body is so powerful And what can happen when you allow yourself to feel that energy again rising within you?
00:21:10
Valerie Vazquez
You've got to know that the church was trying to scare you against the snake, was trying to keep you from your power.
00:21:22
Valerie Vazquez
and so, It's just so beautiful to allow yourself to shed these layers of skin and to allow yourself to be open to your true power and open to your sacredness.
00:21:39
Valerie Vazquez
And like I'll remind you, pretty much every episode, we must, as women and men, we must allow ourselves to take time to slow down, to come into our sacredness again so that we can remember who we are, so we can stand in our truth and our sovereignty,
00:22:11
Valerie Vazquez
and so that we can heal.
00:22:15
Valerie Vazquez
So thank you so much for joining me today. I'm sending you so much love, whatever it is you're walking through on your path. Please leave a comment for me. Let me know that you listened and I will see you
