“Be your own guru” by Maarja Jõemägi

I have felt that I give part of my power away when I follow someone else more than my own heart. Have you ever thought that the other person has everything figured out and they are so enlightened that you must follow them to get where they are? I certainly have.
There is power in the community, but there is also SO much power inside you.
For centuries, we have put the power, the God, the Source outside of us, as if it's unreachable. We have put our own life into someone else's hands and by doing that, also giving away the responsibility. The truth is that everything we could ever need is inside us. If we let our soul be the guide and show us the way, there is nothing that can stop us. I encourage you to learn all you can from others who resonate with your heart but take your own truth from it. Only you know what's best for you.
The greatest guru is your inner self. Truly he is the supreme teacher. He alone can take you to your goal and he alone meets you at the end of the road. Confide in him and you need no outer guru.
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
Sometimes I visit my younger self in my meditations and tell her whatever I needed to hear in a specific moment. Maybe at that moment, I'm being my own parent, friend or teacher - but I'm giving myself that love and compassion that I needed at that time. The other times I visualize how older me walks up to me and tells me what I need to hear. Or simply hugs me. I am always there for myself and guiding myself through the challenges as well as peaceful times.
There are many ways to connect with the guru inside, but I've noticed that one of the most powerful ways is to be present. In PiMOV we experience the magic of being fully in the moment, just kindly observing the inner & outer worlds.
