MYTH: A BIG EGO IS A BAD THING

In an intuition program as a client is transforming what’s been holding them back, it’s not uncommon for me to show up to one of our sessions hearing their urgent concern that their ego is now getting big.

“I need help healing this ego-trip that I’m on”

And then they share more about the experiences they are having.

As I listen it is clear to me that they are actually feeling confident in a new way. They are falling in love with themselves. 

This is not just on a “I believe in myself” mental level. 

It is a very real contact with the being.

This is such a beautiful place to be.

But it can be very uncomfortable. I know it personally.

We worry that we are becoming high-and-mighty, selfish, and self-centered.

On the contrary this is a significant accomplishment on this planet and should be celebrated and welcomed, not condemned.

---------------  Because a BIG EGO can mean: 

• That your consciousness and heart is expanding. (the ego naturally has to expand with it).
• You care about others, not what they think of you.
• That you are looking much more to your intuition instead of permission from another.
• That you learn from your mistakes and don't require forgiveness from anyone (except maybe from yourself).
• That you choose not to participate in what diminishes your spirit.
• You see through and side-step manipulation & power games.
• You are willing to speak up and stand up for yourself while keeping your heart open.
• You no longer want to deny any part of yourself, including "negative" experiences/emotions.
• You know your right to NO.
• You know your right to YES.
• You know your right to CHANGE your mind.
• You give yourself freedom to experiment with and experience things so you can know, really know, for yourself.
• You trust the sense of a deep potential and intelligence in yourself and in life, even though you go through many moments of doubt or fear.
• You welcome others with their deep potential and intelligence. 

---------------  It’s actually our SMALL EGO that:

• Wants to control others.
• Lies. Competes. Gets jealous and envious. 
• Feels lower than others. Feels higher than others.
• Has the urge to cut someone down (including ourselves).
• Blames (it’s someone else’s fault that I’m not happy).
• Creates division, pain, wars.
• Secretly gets off on keeping ourselves and others in suffering and victim-hood.

So don't be afraid of having a big ego. 

It’s a gift to your own heart.
