Holistic Self-Empowerment

9 replies
Peace all!

I want to introduce a new term for most - holistic self-empowerment. What is holistic self-empowerment?

Holistic is dealing with completeness, wholeness (mind, body & soul). Empowerment is arming yourself with everything that builds you up. Self is the acknowledgment of YOU. So, holistic self-empowerment is seeing yourself in all things and using it to accomplish everything that you want.

We must empower ourselves with the truth! A lot of us have been misinformed for the better part of our lives. To not know is one thing but to know and not do better is foolish. I surely, do not want to be a fool. Do you?

In life there are two directions - forward & backward. If you are not progressing then you are regressing. As humans, we are organically made to GROW. Growth comes with adding but sometimes you must subtract before you can add. Sometimes you have to re-educate yourself on what you were previously taught. If it's not working then you must fix it.

What does holistic self-empowerment mean to you?

    This is an interesting concept.

    A point to be kept in mind is that releasing precedes acquiring. If you want more, you must give up more. We will certainly be adding when we grow but we release more than anything, because we were born complete. The only reason why a person isn't complete now is some false ideas they've picked up from others.

    Thanks for sharing,

    Welcome to the Warrior forum!
    Good to see new faces.
    Some wise words you speak. Not new to me, but certainly very important.
    It means many things to me, for once you begin to understand, it applies to everything.

      You can visit my site soulfulbodymind.com - but more importantly, just read about different holistic approaches. Seeing things holistically (whole picture, not just singular aspects) is empowering in itself.

      I kind of made up the term "holistic self-empowerment". It's just a fusion of two concepts that really compliment each other. It makes sense to me and everyone I'm trying to reach can at least grab the concept.

      Contact me if you have any further queries.

    I agree with your concept of Holistic Self Empowerment, Soulfulbodymind, we have to take care of all three body, mind and soul.

    There are three areas of well-being that make each of us who we are:

    Physical self (Body) - To succeed, maintain a high commitment to health and fitness
    Intellectual (mental/mind) self - Continue to expand your knowledge and challenge the MIND
    Emotional self (soul) - Keep your life stable at home and be productive in your business or at work

    Empowerment is not giving people power. They already have plenty of power, in the wealth of their knowledge and motivation, to do their jobs magnificently. We define empowerment as letting this power out.”

      "Growth comes with adding but sometimes you must subtract before you can add."

      Very correctly put it!Many times to learn new and positive things you must unlearn or shed off old baggage.Nice thread.

    Holistic for me is punching a hole in someone's face is diametrically pejorative.
    Just kidding.

    The points being made are so succinct and subtly conclude the eventual progression which we were able to lean and put our spirit in...hopes of a good return. But... didn't work that way and probably never will. However there's a gate a portal that connects you to the supreme by entering holes in the universe and manipulating events.

    First time hearing about holistic self empowerment. Thanks for sharing. To me, I think it's more on being flexible to change, too be able to unlearn what's not working to make space to learn the new.

    Great responses guys!

    I really want(ed) to see what everyone thought about Holistic Self-Empowerment. This is the idea behind my website & blog. It makes sense to me & some but I realize everyone is not going to gravitate and relate to it.

    Your input is much appreciated!
