Losing Our Power to Passive Victimization

By Ian Brown

Do you constantly allow your power to be taken from you? Are you aware of the effect this has on you energetically?

For a brief moment, take your mind back to your school days. Do you remember a bully in the playground? Maybe you were one who was bullied. Maybe you were one who knew it was wrong and wanted to do something, but kept a low profile so the bully would not come after you. In reality, there is not much difference between the one bullied and the one that stood by without taking action. Both have their power taken away by another. The only difference is that one is by violation, and the other is by fear. The effect is the same.

Aren’t you glad those days have passed? I propose they haven’t. It is just that the bully of your adulthood wears different clothes from the school uniform of the past. He, or she (or for that matter it, if we refer to the ‘system’) is still there trying to take your power.
