What if nothing could keep you away from your most treasured goals?
On this week’s episode of Love University, we continue exploring the Hara, your center of authentic self-love, through the Eastern principle of Fudoshin. In martial arts and Asian philosophy, Fudoshin refers to an immovable mind, a state of inner composure and unwavering focus when facing pressure or adversity. While the Hara is your center of power and intuition, Fudoshin puts that inner force into action to help you achieve personal excellence.
Here are three ways Fudoshin can strengthen your Hara and activate your inner power:
• Become Immovably You
Your Fudoshin-powered Hara represents a rock-solid sense of who you really are. It is not based on Thought Demons (critical inner voices), other people’s opinions, or the endless chatter of the outside world. When the noise falls away, you discover the values and abilities that make you unique. Now you no longer sacrifice your authenticity to win approval or conform to what others expect of you. Fudoshin anchors you to your unique purpose, enabling you to remain true to yourself even when life tries to push you off balance.
• Embrace Your Don and Express Your Greatest Gift
Your Don is your Higher Nature-given talent or gift, the ability you were meant to develop and share with the world. Perhaps your Don is teaching, writing, caring for others, building businesses, or solving problems. When you hide this gift because of insecurity or fear, you and the people who could benefit lose something valuable. When you embrace your Don, self-doubt begins to weaken and you’re able to contribute your talents to uplift yourself and others. Your Hara gives you the confidence to develop your talent while Fudoshin provides the determination to keep expressing it despite rejection or obstacles.
• Listen to the Heartbeat of Your Hara
Your Hara is the intuitive voice that tells you what you need to know. It may advise you that a relationship is wrong for you, that it’s time to pursue your dream career, or that you need to take a bold new direction in life. When you love yourself, you’re more willing to listen to this inner guidance. Fudoshin helps you remain firm in your power and act on what you know is right for you. Instead of allowing fear or distraction to knock you off course, you maintain your one-point focus and keep moving toward the life that reflects your authentic nature.
The secret is simple: embrace your Hara, become immovably you, and achieve your dreams.
