LOW GEAR

     We have levels of power within us. The most superficial one is limited in its lasting ability. It burns out in a flash of high intensity effort. But beneath it is more power- a bit less accessible, but stronger, and with more endurance. This second level can carry us far, but eventually, it too, is spent.
    At the deepest level, we are unlimited. We can engage physical strength beyond our wildest dreams. It's low gear and four-wheel drive. But we cannot use it without focus. We cannot use it without our breath and intention and heart. It is a conscious shift into super-human power mode; the rising up of pure life force energy.
     Knowing that we have this kind of power available to us, and learning to access it on purpose is useful, and worthwhile, to say the least. It will take us beyond the possible into the realm of the miraculous time and again, and it will change us as it courses through our blood and muscles. It will electrify us. So when we feel burnt out, let's focus and breathe and call up our resources from the depths. Let's smile as the power comes forth from within, and our skin shivers with the energetic rush of the engagement of our low gear.

I am powerful beyond measure, and I use my breath and intention to shift me into low gear for the climb of power up the steep hills of life.
