The Law of Polarity: Navigating the Spectrum

Happy Day my friends!
In our previous Empower Yourself blog post, we delved into the Law of Polarity, which asserts that everything in life has an opposite. We emphasized that this law, like gravity, is a constant presence that affects everyone and everything, no exception. We also discussed how we can navigate the spectrum of polarity, a range from one extreme to another, and how finding our "sweet spot," is unique to each of us. This recognition empowers us to exercise our free will, allowing us to choose the point within the spectrum that resonate most with us.
At that time, I promised to explore how we can harness the power of polarity on our journey to empowerment, and that is the focus of today's discussion.
First and foremost, let's revisit the fundamental essence of polarity. Like all the other Universal Laws, polarity is a fundamental principle that govern the entire universe, including both the physical and the non-physical aspect of reality. These guiding principles provides the fabric in which our thoughts, emotions and actions create and mold the unfolding of events in our lives. On the other hand physical laws are principles that describe the behavior of physical objects in certain conditions. The law of gravity was presented as an example of a physical law that operates on planet Earth within the planet's specific conditions and constraints.
Secondly, although polarity encompasses two extremes, it is essentially a spectrum. Between these extremes, there exists an infinite gradient of varying intensities. Previously, as an example we presented the spectrum of extreme heat and extreme cold, and in between there is gradient of temperatures. Selecting our desire point along this gradient is an expression of our individual preferences.
Thirdly, it is crucial to recognize that no point within the polarity spectrum is inherently better than another. The choice of our positioning on this spectrum is a reflection of our personal choice. Every point along the spectrum offers us equal opportunities for experience and exploration. Understanding this concept is pivotal because it reveals the hidden truth: our innate gift of free will grants us the power to decide our place on the spectrum.
I understand that for those encountering this concept for the first time, it might be a bit mind-boggling. You might wonder "why no one ever shared this principle before, "why I feel trapped of life's circumstances", and "why was I unaware of the power of choice within me". Trust me, I can relate to those sentiments because I, too, have been in that position. At a certain point in my life, I felt unsatisfied, yearning for an alternative but unsure of how to break free from the norm. It was an inner voice whispering, "There must be another way," that propelled me to embark on a journey of self-discovery.
During this phase, I found myself at one end of the polarity spectrum—dissatisfied with my life and lacking a sense of purpose. That persistent thought of "there must be another way" was my higher self's way of expressing a desire to move toward the opposite end of the spectrum—an existence marked by satisfaction, meaning, and purpose. At that moment in time I was able to recognize the polarity: on one end of the spectrum dissatisfaction, boredom, lack of meaning and on the other, satisfaction, excitement, meaning & purpose.
Experiencing these emotions, becoming aware of the polarity, and recognizing the power of my free will, shifted my perspective. This shift in perspective was the catalyst for a series of conscious decisions. The transformation started by deciding to choose empowering thoughts, like "I deserve a life of satisfaction and fulfilment", " I have the power to transform my life exactly how I desire". These thoughts ignited within me inspired action. Action being the force capable of materialize our deepest desires.
Within this momentum, I took deliberate action. I created a strategy to get out of the situation I was in. Also, I drafted a plan that serve as a guide directing me towards the realization of the satisfaction I sought - my desire to serve others.
I have to admit that the initial plan was full of unknowns. However, even within the ambiguity, a direction emerged and I took the initial steps. I am still walking on this polarity spectrum (form dissatisfaction to satisfaction) but I can state I am closer to the satisfaction side of the polarity spectrum. Moving through a spectrum is characterized by a process of growth that we have to embrace. I am still growing, learning, applying, an unending ascend towards higher possibilities.
Moreover, as we embark on this path from one spectrum point to another, it is essential that we celebrate each stride of progress. Celebrating serves as a beacon of motivation, inspiration, an affirmation of our journey's significance. In my personal narrative, I celebrated the completion of the Health & Wellbeing Coaching program, the attainment of the national board certification, the creation of my coaching website, and the publication of my first post. Each of these milestone propels me to continue moving forward on this amazing journey.
I hope this example demonstrate how we can leverage the Law of Polarity to our benefit. To make the process clear, consider these steps:
1. Recognize the Polarity by identifying opposites, like, Dissatisfaction-Satisfaction, Fear - Courage.
2. Identify Your Position within the spectrum and gain clarity of where you want to be. Feelings and emotions that provide a sense of expansion instead of contraction are a good compass of where you should head.
3. Shift your perspective by opening yourself to new concepts, knowledge and ideas or simple pause and reflect, look within, and be open to new possibilities.
4. Choose Empowering Thought and Intentions
5. Take Inspired Action, knowing that it is through action that you can materialized your desires.
6. Embrace Growth as you progress along the spectrum. The journey involves learnings and immense personal and spiritual development.
7. Celebrate Your Progress, acknowledge your milestone. It will provide motivation to keep moving forward.
8. Practice Self-Compassion by balancing self-judgement with self-kindness and understanding and embracing imperfection on the journey of change.
It's important to note that this is not the only way to perceive or utilize the law of polarity. The possibilities are endless, and many of them surpass my present comprehension and understanding. However, what I am certain of is that awareness of polarity, becoming attentive to my feelings and emotions, and the determination to use the power of my free will have immensely contributed to my current stage on my personal journey to empowerment.
As we conclude, ask yourself: Can I identify what within me is creating a feeling of discomfort? Can I identify the polarity spectrum this feeling is within? Where within this polarity spectrum I want to be? What conscious decisions am I ready to make?
Our next Empower Yourself blog post will delve into another Universal Law. If a specific Universal Law intrigues you, let me know in the comment below. The Universal Law with most request, will be the topic for next month.
Until then, and stay empowered!
