how feeling like owing someone, ends up owning us.

owe derives from the old English word agan which means “to have, own” which comes from aiganam or “to possess.”
anything that you feel obligated to, owns you.
it has possession over you.
many of us have invisible energetic contracts where we trade our freedom/power for something like money or love.
it is crucial to break these contracts before we can move into our abundance.
when we feel like we owe somebody or something, we are selling ourselves.
Caroline Myss talks about the 4 archetypes that we all share. among the four is one which she calls the prostitute. all of us have an inner prostitute. we sell ourselves, if not literally for money then for attention or validation or something else.
we all have been in situations where we put other people’s wants and desires before our own needs. we have this self-sacrificing culture and it isn’t for the sake of actually wanting to give, but of wanting to be seen, heard and loved.
the only problem is, it is backward.
where are you feeling like you owe someone?
where do you feel you need to be a certain way in order to get love?
which parts of you have you buried away to fit in the box everyone wants you in?
for example, this makes me think about all the times i stayed small because i felt i owed my parents. there are so many choices i made that i thought would make them proud and none of them did. it was because i was moving from the energy of “i owe them” which means i was handing my power away on a silver platter.
when i stopped trying to please them is when they started to treat me how i always wanted.
when we can’t see ourselves, no one can see us and we are constantly in this loop of self-fulfilled misery.
its like we want to be seen so bad that we don’t recognize we are putting that out and the energy we put out is the energy that returns to us ... multiplied.
you put out i owe you, and you get a whole lot of people in your life who act as if they have ownership over your time, energy and attention. only because you are emitting that energy out into the universe.
the universe always gives you back what you are giving but multiplied.
if you resonate on the frequency of misery, you are getting misery X10. this is how momentum builds and why it is extremely difficult to break free from our mental blocks.
however, where there is a problem there is always a solution.
if you can get to the bottom of who you are prostituting yourself for (who you think you owe) you can turn this whole possession around and take your power back.
more so, learn to stop giving your power away.
the three questions i listed earlier will help you do exactly that.
if we know that the universe gives us what we give out, multiplied; then the same applies to love, money, happiness, awareness, confidence, friendship, and health.
X10.
or X100.
or X(whatever you choose).
you get what you put out.
first clean up the mess of thinking you owe anyone and then move toward putting out the energy of gratitude.
when you are grateful, you are standing in your power. you are telling the universe (God) that you see it and you love it. and then it starts to see you and loves you, multiplied.
