Explore how the powers of our brain, choice, and heart can reconnect us to our limitless potential and create true transformation from within.

Sometimes, we may feel powerless. Forces move around us beyond our control. We may wonder about our place in this world or whether we can truly live the kind of life we long for. In response, we may begin to set safer goals. We might even lash out or shut others out—trying to guard a shrinking sense of power and self-worth.

But when we feel powerless, that’s when we most need to remember our real power.

What Is Our Power?

First, we have the power of our brains.

Our brains do far more than think and feel. They give us access to art and empathy, logic and creativity, connection and awareness. Through our brains, we link our bodies and souls to energy and spirit. We attune ourselves to the consciousness of the universe, of oneness and beingness. That connection allows our minds and energy to influence, though not control, the world around us.

Our brains also give us the gift of imagination. In our imagination, we can become anyone, go anywhere, transcend time. Imagination is limitless—and it’s one of our greatest tools for change. If we want to live powerful lives, we can start by imagining them.

Second, we have the power of choice. Even when we feel trapped or overwhelmed, we can still choose our thoughts and our responses. We can choose hope over fear, love over hate, progress over stagnation. We can choose to keep going—toward a goal, toward healing, toward peace.

And third, we have the power of love—the energy of our hearts.

This energy is the essence of our true selves. It’s not soft or passive. It’s vibrant, bright, and alive. It can fuel our souls, lift our spirits, and raise our consciousness. Love is the power that transforms. It doesn’t fight fear—it embraces it and melts it away. It doesn’t conquer darkness; it shines through it.

Breathing in Power, Breathing out Love

This power lives inside us. We can connect to it at any moment, especially through our breath.

When we breathe, we don’t just breathe air—we breathe energy. Each breath is a chance to recharge. When we breathe with sincerity and intention, our minds settle, our hearts open, and we return to what is essential.

When our minds become still and return to the zero point, the love within us can meet the energy of the cosmos. From this union, we gain the power to create. Our thoughts, our words, our movements become waves of energy that ripple outward.

It’s Time to Use Our Power

What are we imagining? What are we declaring with our lives?

We are not small. We are not separate. We are the earth and the sky. We are Chunjikiun (cosmic energy) and Chunjimaeum (cosmic mind). We are not bound by what has been—we are creators of what can be.

Let us walk with love. Speak with love. Imagine with love. Let us greet each day with the joyful question, “What transformation will I make today?

Because when we imagine it, it can happen.
When we choose it, it begins.
When we love it, it transforms.
