The Power of Vulnerability

Updated: Jan 28

I had an amazing experience in the recovery rooms today. I allowed my Self to be completely vulnerable, without the hint of any mask, and shared my Truth in two invited shares at separate recovery meetings. What I found was that when I am totally vulnerable, it opens the gate for others to do the same. People immediately took off their masks and allowed themselves to express their emotions and deepest fears as they shared afterwards. Many people cried. It was a deeply moving, unconditonally loving, mesmerising, profound, inspiring, and spectacular experience.


May you respond to life with the vulnerability of your inner child, but with the strength of an adult.


Taking off your mask and allowing vulnerability

 

When you are totally open, fully authentic, and totally vulnerable, people light up, as it’s so rare for them to experience that: Your Truth gets to everyone else’s Truth and they instantly step into their highest way of BEing. The more vulnerable you allow your Self to be, the healthier you get. Vulnerability does all the work for you. You can see spiritual transformation happening before your eyes. People suddenly look like angels, and they radiate peace, even though they are expressing their previously hidden emotions and deepest fears. Their tears transmute to joy.


Brené Brown wrote that “Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”


When you speak from the heart, that's when people really listen. And that's when their hearts open too. Vulnerability underpins the genuine capacity for human connection. It is a foundational stone of empowerment, possibility, and success in all areas of life. Vulnerability, when shared, is the basis of your new life and it is your way out of pain and fear.


Vulnerability is the state of being open, exposed, and emotionally honest. It involves willingly showing our true selves, including our deepest fears, emotions, flaws, and uncertainties, without the protective mask and iron-clad armour of pretence or 'perfection'. It is about stepping out of our comfort zones and allowing ourselves to be seen authentically for who we truly are, building trust, and opening the doors to genuine connections and meaningful relationships. Leo Christopher wrote “Vulnerability is the essence of connection, and the connection is the essence of existence.” Vulnerability is a connection catalyst. It's a force of Nature.


Gale Wilhelm wrote "I'm going to turn on the light, and we'll be two people in a room looking at each other and wondering why on Earth we were afraid of the dark."


Haruki Murakami wrote “What happens when people open their hearts? They get better.” Vulnerability heals.

The whole experience generated a deep sense of gratitude that I will remember for a very long time. I am giving another invited lecture on Saturday this week and will once again share totally openly and vulnerably. With humility, I look forward to the miracles that it creates in service of others who are struggling to take off their societally applied masks.


Tonight, as every week, I am running my men's vulnerability meeting called 'VOICE' for men. Please let me know if you would like to join us. It's man taking off their masks and being totally vulnerable with each other. It feels so cathartic. For my article about the meeting please click here:

Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you: Listen in such a way that others love to speak to you.


George Bernard Shaw wrote that “Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.” Are you ready to change your mind?


Namaste.


Sending you love, light, and blessings brothers.
