The world will knock you down sometimes, and itโs going to hurt. You will lose hope, and you will feel like giving up, but thereโs an untapped power hidden within those desperate times that you can learn to harness. We often call this untapped power the inner dragon.
At your lowest moments, you have nowhere to go, and there is nobody to help. So, where do you turn? You turn to yourself, to the deepest part of your soul thatโs yearning for transformation, strength, and empowerment.
Certain situations grant us a doorway to a powerful spiritual energy we understand asย dragon energy. Awakening the dragon is the act of channeling a powerful spiritual energy that drives action, growth, and transformation.
Letโs look at how you can awaken your inner dragon and unleash its potential.
Letโs Talk About the Inner Dragon
The inner dragon is a metaphor that refers to an untapped power, or potential that lies dormant inside every one of us. People often use this term colloquially, but thereโs a deeper truth to it that we seldom realize because dragon energy is a real spiritual energy. Itโs something we can tap into, granting us divine spiritual power.
In the spiritual framework, dragons arenโt just fictional creatures; Theyโre real deities that represent power and protection. They may not be physical creatures that exist here in this realm, but rather theyโre ancient spirits that have woven their way into the fabric of almost every civilization, culture, and mythology on Earth.
Itโs no coincidence that all cultures around the globe have had depictions and symbolism of dragons since the dawn of humanity. Thatโs because people, regardless of race, background, or spiritual beliefs, have tapped into these ancient energies to receive information, power, and strength.
So how do people tap into this powerful energy?
Well, there are different ways.
Some of us learn to awaken the inner dragon through meditation, ritual, or ceremony. Sometimes, people tap into these energies when theyโre at their lowest, praying for a light to shine on or seeking guidance to get through the hard yards. Then, some people have an innate connection with this energy and can access it more naturally.
Awakening the Inner Dragon
Often during times when we are gravely struggling, we can open a portal so to speak to a powerful energy called dragon energy. Dragon energy can replenish us with motivation, inspiration, endurance, and raw strength to work through the situation.
This energy is exemplified in the mother who lifts a car off her child due to sheer willpower. Itโs exemplified in people who are completely broken and defeated, discovering a deeper drive that propels them to completely transform their lives because failure is not an option.
During these moments, we seem to take on superhuman strength โ as if weโre channeling an energy that transcends material reality, enabling us to do incredible things. We channel power from a spiritual well โ a dragon โ to help us through certain situations, for power, and for spiritual activation.
Itโs a powerful force of dedication and strength that can be harnessed when youโre at your lowest. The decision you make when youโre on your knees begging for some rope is one of the best decisions you will make โ because it activates something powerful.
And Iโm not just talking about thinking it and cerebrally making a decision, but rather itโs a feeling โ an energy that you tap into. If youโre looking to change your life, you need to realize that those desperate times are your fuel. They are what drive serious transformation, as long as you harness those moments and use them to propel forward.
Part of the big downfalls in life is to teach you what you donโt want your life to be. These downfalls shift your alignment towards what you want to create. Learn what you donโt want your life to be, and realize that you must bring change into it. Itโs this realization that leads to true empowerment.
Fueling the Engine
Self-belief is key to creating the life you want. If you donโt believe in yourself, itโs simply not going to happen. But donโt let this get you down because self-belief is something you cultivate.
You need to believe that you can achieve what you want to achieve. Logically, why canโt you? Many people in this world who came from nothing have created amazing lives for themselves (and other people). Many successful people have been in much worse situations than you.
So, you tell me, what separates you from these people? Why canโt you acquire the skills, abilities, and characteristics that you need? Is success written in your DNA? Are you cursed from the get-go? Because maybe Iโm just an optimist, but I canโt think of why you canโt become the person you need to, to create the life you want.
Think of some reasons why you canโt be the person you want to be. After giving it some good thought, analyze your answers. Think if other people in that situation have become successful. Now, think about the qualities, characteristics, and skills you need to develop to create the life you want.
Hack Out the Pathway
If you canโt even see your ideal life, youโre shooting in the dark. Of course, youโre not going to get there because you have no vision. This is why itโs extremely important to define what a good life means to you.
Is it living in a tropical paradise, connecting with community and friends while your money works for you? Is it being a powerful influence in the world that people look up to, or perhaps bringing some serious positive change to society in some form?
Visualization is a powerful tool that you should harness to illuminate the pathway forward. If youโre regularly dreaming about a better life, one way or another, youโre going to start seeing the details required to make it happen.
This isnโt to say that you shouldnโt be present with your life experience for where it currently is. But when you desire something enough, especially if itโs something that makes you feel like youโre moving towards a bigger picture, naturally, youโre going to spend some time marinating in those thoughts.
You will feel the sensations of that reality. You will picture every little step it takes to get there. You will feel the emotions and imagine every obstacle that you need to overcome. This is a crucial component of manifestation, and itโs going to make a big difference.
If you had a billion dollars, what would you be doing with your life? What would your life look like? Where would you be, and what would you invest it in? Imagine this scenario like it has happened, and feel it. What sort of life makes you feel the most fulfilled?
Step on the Gas
Once you have illuminated the path, you need to take action. I donโt mean trying for a week and giving up. Iโm not talking about doing bits and pieces here and there until your life situation becomes tolerable. You need to gain momentum by pushing forward as hard as you can.
When youโre at your lowest moments, keep your foot on the gas. Research, learn, build yourself, apply your knowledge, and do everything in your power to move the needle. This desperation will act as a generator. Once things look up a little, keep your foot on the gas.
When things start unfolding in your life, keep your foot on the gas. I mean it; donโt stop just because things are going well. You need to keep steamrolling through. If the universe gives you an inch, take a mile.
You need to be consistent, and every day chip away at your dreams. Every day move the needle. It will become a habit, and it will feel good because youโre moving towards something that lights you up.
Embrace Transformation and Change
As you throttle forward into your higher power, you will face more challenges.
Some of these challenges will easily be overcome, others will bring you back down. There will be times when youโll battle with feelings of despair, hopelessness, and doubt, but you canโt let that stop you. You need to push forward regardless.
As you develop yourself and become the person you need to become, you will begin to change. You need to encourage this process of change as you continue evolving into better versions of yourself.
Part of embracing transformation is learning how to let go of the previous you. Sometimes your lower self is going to latch on to you, but as long as you continuously learn, grow, and transform, that part of you will never take hold.
Make sure youโre always pushing towards a better life, and remember to use those desperate times as fuel for the engine.
