Episode Synopsis

Understand what power truly is and how service is the perfect place to cultivate it.  However, really tapping into its transformative power requires more humility than we are usually willing.All of this is true:Power is not what you think it is.  We misunderstand power as something you have over others (dominance, manipulation, influence), when it is something you cultivate within and export in service of others.Service is a means of cultivating inner power and testing how far you have truly come.Learn about the relationship between humility, discomfort and power from wandering tea monk Baisao as well as Darikapa, the Indian king that let his spiritual teacher sell him as a slave to a prostitute in order to awaken him to his true potential.  Break "obligation consciousness" (the belief that you are being forced to serve) to develop gratitude for the opportunity of service as well as an understanding of what your options truly are.When you realize that you’re an empowered person of service, you understand your capacity to meet any situation as the person you want to be and alchemize it’s challenges into a medium for your own growth.  Things that trigger you aren’t received passively with the story “oh well, they’re horrible and I’m a victim of their awefulness.” They get digested by the light within you and burned into a fuel for self-understanding.Go Deeper Into The Mindful Service Movement:Explore The Book ToC w/ Live Content LinksJoin the Facebook Community & Bring Us Your Service Struggles & Insights!Follow Me on Instagram & Learn Mindful Ninja MovesSubscribe/Review on i-Tunes & I'll Mail You A Basket of KittensVisit my partner: Institute for Organizational Mindfulness
