Listen in as a most fascinating dialogue unfolds in which they both uncover some deeper truths behind navigating authenticity as a threat, feelings of guilt associated with expressing who you are, not status quo doubling as potentially unsafe, loss of privilege and what that may imply, and the discovery of some hidden internalized “obias” and “isms” along the way.

Power of Choice 2 of 2 with Elaine and Rach
Power of Choice 2 of 2--Embrace and Embody the Power of your Soul’s Choice to Incarnate
In this 2nd episode of Power of Choice...we remember...there was light before the struggle!
This discussion will refresh you from the inside out because we delve into why it’s so important to look inward and shift who you are listening to. In listening to your own self-talk you’ll uncover exactly why your life is unfolding the way it is in every moment. Get ready to hear about the radically simple tool number 1 in how to connect to your inner self.
Listen in as Elaine Bracken and Rachel Dickson discuss where to start. What is the first step in going inward and discovering our true selves? When life feels like nothing but smoke screens and is blindingly paralyzing...there IS a way to fly through this smoke screen of impossibility. There IS hope and the truth of this lies within our own inner selves. Why is it so easy to believe that we are “Original Sin” and so hard to believe that we are “Original Light”?
Discussion around remembering our original incarnation choice.
You’re so powerful because YOU are the impetus for even being here. You chose to be here.
We do remember...when we take our first breath.
Understanding the extent of our forgetting. We’ve forgotten that we are powerful creators.
Acknowledging and accepting what is.
When you go inward you will remember your power.
Why are we not original light? Why are we original sin?

Power of Choice 1 of 2 with Elaine and Rach
Power of Choice 1 of 2--When Spirit joins you for coffee, you listen – REMEMBER – EMBODY – RE-EMBODY your POWER TO CREATE!
Elaine Bracken is a channel and medium and this episode was born from a channeling she received while having coffee on her porch one morning. This loving message from her guides encourages us to Remember Our Power by Remembering Our Soul’s Choice To Come to Earth. This message also encourages us to Choose Boldly from the Universal Menu of Life!
To listen to Power of Choice 1 simply click here
Listen in as Elaine Bracken and Rachel Dickson discuss the message from Elaine’s early morning visitor:
It is in the remembering that we choose bigger.
The feelings of retracting and shriveling versus big powerful expansion.
Release the limitations we put on ourselves.
We made this choice...and we are so powerful.
When you REMEMBER YOUR POWER TO CHOOSE, because you utilized that power to incarnate, YOU WILL REMEMBER – EMBODY – RE-EMBODY your POWER TO CREATE within this incarnation.
We’re forgetting that we have a choice to get out of the valley.
Gaze at the beauty, ignore the bullshit.
The Universal Diner and the Special of the Day: Why do we keep settling on ordering meatloaf when what we really want is lobster?
Why do we choose suffering over joy? Is it because we’re more comfortable in suffering?
Choice and Power right next to each other...together.
Feeding energetically from someone else.
We are exactly where we need to be.
All choices must bring you joy or they will bring you out of alignment with your path.
We’re not accidentally at a concert we didn’t mean to be at.
What would happen if we eliminated thinking and operated with feeling instead? Letting your heart do the thinking.
Manifestation and feeling as a tool to manifest. Perception is what creates reality.
Go back in your memory, use your time-line if you need to, and re-embody the POWERFUL CREATOR THAT YOU ARE.
