As a result of 32 years of helping clients shift out of unconscious-based fear and into their authentic power, I like to define authentic power as a person's natural state of being.
I also think of one's authentic power as their true essence.
When the ego in engaged, it is fear-based and runs on what is known in many spiritual communities as "old paradigm" ways of thinking & existing in the world.

Old paradigm ways of being are based on primitive needs from long ago when physical survival was paramount.
Competition, scarcity and survival are all old paradigm and have continued to be reinforced by our parents and society.

As we have continued to evolve, combined with modern technology at least in our society, physical survival has become a lot less of an issue on all levels.
We have the ability to create and manifest the results we want from a higher, more developed level. Think of 'The Secret' by Rhonda Byrnes - it's about the law of attraction and one's ability to manifest and change one's reality. The book has been so popular because the concept resonates as deep truth for so many people.

Many of us tend to be creatures of habit though, especially when it comes to thoughts based on our conditioning, and the experiences we had growing up. We tend to get stuck in unhealthy, old ways of thinking and how we perceive our experiences. These perceptions are clouded by past experiences until we clear the past events that became the "go-to' place when dealing with people and situations that come up in our lives currently.  Until we become conscious about what is going on in our unconscious, it's hard to stop responding in old, dysfunctional ways.

How do we become liberated from repeating the same pattern over and over again whether its the relationships we attract, a lack of prosperity, or chronic anxiety?

1- Become conscious of the old programs
2- Find an effective way to truly clear them - energetically.

Every instance in which you are freed of an old pattern, way of thinking, or reaction based on old conditioning, you are one step closer to being in your authentic power and living a conscious, empowered life.

Katherine Woodward Thomas, author of "Calling In The One" encourages her readers to go within and become conscious about which programs from the past are still running in the background, and keeping them from attracting the healthy love they want and deserve. So important.

In other words, change your inner world and your outer world changes.  The truth is, it's always an inside job. As we master the inside, we can more easily co-create with the Universe all that will bring us joy and fulfillment, healthy, loving relationships, prosperity, and especially, inner peace.

Resolve past issues that are still humming away in the background (similar to a virus on a computer) and replace unhealthy behaviors and patterns with healthy ones that serve your higher purpose. When you do, your love for yourself increases, you have more love to give others and you will call more love in.
Win-win for you and everyone in your current and future life!

Finally...when you are living in your authentic power, and aligned with your higher purpose, you will feel on track, clear, peaceful. Life will flow better in every way. There will be an ease and a grace about you that is noticeable because the anxious, unclear energy you used to radiate is gone.
Then it's easier to use the Law of Attraction principles in Rhonda Byrne's 'The Secret' effectively and start to manifest the life you want.

I have developed The Pechet Healing Technique over 32 years, to help clients align with their authentic self by gently, but effectively clearing old energies that have been keeping them stuck in one or more areas.

In each session, I access a very high level of consciousness, and will intuit the most important issue to clear that session. I then literally and effectively clear that issue, trauma, experience etc. for good. You get specific, real results that you can confirm at the end of the session, and the next day, and a year later... and you will see that you are still in a place of complete peace about the issue(s) I cleared for you.
