By Gabrielle Bernstein
Speaker & #1 Bestselling Author, “Spirit Junkie”
New York, NY
For the past seven years I’ve been a student of the metaphysical text A Course in Miracles. Through my dedicated spiritual practice I’ve come to understand that my outside need for approval is what blocked my authentic power. I was searching for meaning in the meaningless world I had projected. My awareness of these blocks was the first step toward releasing them.
The spiritual journey I embarked on left me no wiggle room for small play. I had to surrender to a new perception and chose to seek my power in an internal condition rather than an external circumstance.
Once I became willing to stop looking out there and look inward instead, my entire life changed. I began to earn my serenity and learned to find my source of peace and purpose from an inward condition. My neediness melted away, my insecurity weakened and my self-doubt transformed into self-assurance. In time I became a queen, and today I live in my authentic power.
I work hard each day to maintain my authenticity. A major part of the maintenance process is to know the difference between what it feels like to be living in my truth versus living in my ego. When I’m living in my truth I breathe slowly, I feel fulfilled regardless of what’s going on in my external world, and I exude a genuine confidence that cannot be manufactured.
Living in my ego is quite the opposite experience. When I’m in my ego my energy is frantic, I compare myself to others and I try to be something I am not. Knowing the difference between living in my truth versus acting out from my ego keeps me conscious of when I’m not aligned with my authentic power. This awareness is the key to staying on a path toward authentic truth.
The video abobe will heighten your awareness of what it feels like to be in your truth in opposition to what it feels like to be out of alignment.

Yes, yes and Yes! No this is not a Meg Ryan moment, I just wholeheartedly agree with Gabrielle. No new shoes/handbag/ clothes can make me as fulfilled as when I am engaged in authentic living: snuggling with my boys, grooming my horse, listening to amazing piano playing . What Garielle reminds me though is to make this a daily practice. Thanks for the reminder Gabrielle!
I am reminded of the saying: even a bad day with a horse is a good day. Even a so called hard day when we are living authentically beats an apparent great day of living in ego.
Hello from Montana,
So many people, so few “real” ones. The moments of pure joy are just waiting to burst forth.
I love getting older and not worrying a whit or a whistle what people think about me any more. Opportunity to be so authentic and all the parts of my destiny are coming together.
