Hello, everyone. This is Tonya Dawn Recla, your Super Power Expert. And today we’re introducing this next IM Series that’s coming up. We’re so excited about it. It’s called “The Gift of Gratitude”. And especially around this season, it’s super important to remember why, why we do all of this, why we interact with people, why we have relationships, why we establish existences. What is the point in all of this? And these seasons can be very trying for folks because there’s so much laden into these concepts in some of the holidays, in some of the takes on them, some of the traditions and everything else.
And so this season, we’re really going to encourage you to kind of make your way within all of that, right? There is always an opportunity to learn outside of your compass, your directive, your kind of path of your highest existence and lean into chaos and lean into angst and divisiveness and conversations that really don’t serve us when we’re wanting to operate and harness these powers of these higher frequencies and take that walk with the divine and make sure that we’re attending to what’s really important.
And so during this season, it’s really crucial that we keep that foremost in our hearts and in our minds as we progress through the commercialization and the tasks and the schedules and the expectations and everything else. And so that’s what this series is all about. It’s designed to empower you to just take a deep breath going into this season, especially following everything that’s transpired this year.
Let’s lean in, folks. Let’s love each other. Let’s be there for each other. Let’s hold gratitude for relationships, even when they’re trying, even when they’re challenging. We don’t give up on people just because they say the wrong word or whatever. We lean in, and we love them harder. And during this time especially, make that effort, and maybe it is reaching out to people that you haven’t talked to in a while. Maybe it is not reaching out to people because every time that happens, there’s this inevitable kind of strife. And perhaps there’s a pause that’s being called for, and that’s the most loving thing you can do right now. It’s all different, right? And variable, depending on what’s going on in our existence and who we are.
And so to find your path, to tune yourself to that resonance and to walk along with that, regardless of what you see, and the projection takes incredible courage. And this series is designed to support you in that. If you’re not familiar with our IM Series, this is free video training, folks. It takes you deeper than the podcasts do, right? In the podcasts, we expose you to all kinds of concepts, definitely ones you don’t agree with, some you love, whatever it might be.
That’s the point of it, right? How do you stay confident, stay at peace inside of yourself, even if people are talking about things you don’t know that you necessarily agree with? There’s nothing worse than following somebody or appreciating somebody and being like, “I love their stuff, and I’ve quoted them.” And all of a sudden, and then they drop this bomb on you that you’re like, “Wait, you believe that too. I can’t like you anymore. I just can’t get behind that.”
Well, in today’s day and age, I hope that we’ve learned that there are conversations under every statement. And sometimes statements are said in anger, and sometimes they’re said in jest, and sometimes they’re ill-marked, and they just kind of land really poorly. But we can look at the people, right? And connect in with people and our relationships with them and the love that we can hold for them through the divine. Even if we can’t really love the human that they’re choosing to be right then in that moment, we can certainly appreciate them as an aspect of the divine, as part of oneness with us, as our brothers and sisters and children of God.
And there is a connection place there. And if we go there first, everything kind of makes sense. And when you engage in our IM Series, that’s the walk that we’re in supportive of. And so if you are really diligently trying to stay on that path and making sure that you’re listening and not reacting and not giving into old behaviors that perhaps don’t get you anywhere positive, then make sure you’re supporting yourself by consuming material that is responsible, that is in integrity, that’s transparent.
We don’t guarantee you’re always going to agree with everything we say, but look at it instead as like the information is just the software, right? What’s really happening is we’re helping you upgrade that operating system. If you upgrade your operating system and are able to manage more and more kinds of challenges or stand in the eye of the storm even more confidently or navigate chaos more with love and grace, then, I mean, this is that walk, right?
And so if that’s what you’re wanting to do, then it does require kind of not feeding into, not giving into all everything that’s not that. And so it’s really helpful when you intentionally consume in specific ways. And so to that point, if we talk about stuff if you don’t agree with, see if you can’t make it about the software and be like, “Okay, that’s the information that’s coming through right now, but what’s happening on the operating system? Can I sit here and hear that and say, wait, okay, I don’t know that I agree with that, but it doesn’t feel threatening to me.” Right? Being able to keep your nervous system at peace, even when you’re listening to something that you don’t agree with, right?
Most people don’t realize that the gift of gratitude starts if they start listening to something they don’t agree with, they will go into constriction and their body takes on kind of a fight-or-flight process. And they don’t even realize that’s where they’re making decisions from now. They’re making decisions from a survival place, and it kind of messes with them because they are thinking all the right thoughts, right? Thoughts become things and all this stuff, but they don’t understand why the projection is showing them something different. Well, that broadcasting of those insecurities and that constriction on your behalf is what’s creating that.
And so consume responsibly, right? Dive into our IM Series. You can go to superpowerexperts.com/messages and put your email in there, and they’ll come to your inbox. Highly, highly recommended. If you’re on a walk to change yourself, to change the world, to have an impact, make sure that you’re being supported in that.
We’re going to take a quick break. But when we come back, we’re going to talk more about The Gift of Gratitude, this IM Series coming up. And we’re going to tell you a little bit about what you can expect from it. So stay with us, and we will be right back.
