True Expression – Our Superpower!

There is something glorious about a person letting themselves out and letting their natural expression flow. In fact, could our true expression be our superpower? It is powerfully inspiring to see true expression in action. What follows here are but a few of the many examples of people bringing themselves to the things they do that have inspired me of late.

Recently I witnessed a classroom of Grade 2 students ignite as their teacher brought all her natural spunk, joy and wisdom to the act of teaching their lesson. The age-old task of teaching became pure poetry in motion when combined with the unique expression that this teacher brought to her work.

I know a guy who spent an hour teaching me how to use my Mac laptop… and what an hour it was. This man is style, delicateness, strength and wisdom rolled into one – oh, and he brings the fun and joy wherever he goes.

I know what you’re thinking – delicateness and strength existing together, really? Yes, in this man they do (and in truth in all men). How could I but learn what he had to share about computer use when he shared all of his gorgeousness first?

Have you watched children as they download their imaginations onto paper with textas and crayons – imbuing the paper with their natural confidence in what they have to share? That is a lesson right there for every adult who has ever felt pressure to perform, to get it right, or do it perfectly within their work.

Would you think that the key to the tastiest, creamiest guacamole was order, stillness and precision? I know a lady who brings these three qualities to her cooking and her guacamole is unmatched. I know a man who captures the true essence of his subject as a photographer and anchors it with his own stillness… and somehow you can feel the sparkle in this man’s eyes coming through his pictures.

I know a guy who brings his innate tenderness and care to the art of teaching swimming… and I’ve seen reputedly ‘tough’ and ‘difficult’ children melt when he shares this with them. I once attended a healthy eating workshop where the presenter was an exquisite mixture of sexy, sassy and one of the ‘realest’ people I’ve met. It was pure delight to learn about eating for your body from someone who so openly celebrated her own body.

I know a woman who is grace in human form. When she walks, talks, waves, sits, stands, you name it, it is like she leaves a trail of pure grace in her wake. And when she smiles… wowzers!! It’s double strength. In truth, all women have this grace even if it is buried deep, deep within. Just by being in the world, this woman is reminding other women that they too have a natural grace, while schooling them in how to live it.

Have you ever wondered what it is to be a powerful woman, in truth? There are many interpretations and conflicting understandings of what it is to be a strong, powerful woman… but I know a woman who answers this question and then some.

From this woman I have learnt that a woman’s true power is in her presence and living her amazingness on the outside – no tongue stud, motorbike, taekwondo black belt or boring black pantsuit in sight; these are just not needed when a woman knows who she is and is prepared to let the world see.

I know two brothers who know joy. These guys could go all day pouring their spunk and wit into their expression. It is in the tone of their voices, the words they speak, the smiles that transform their faces, their utterly spectacular laughs that hit you straight in the heart. It is achingly beautiful to watch these guys in action and when they share this with you along with their innate gorgeousness, you are gone… These guys are kryptonite to the most hardened heart – a true superpower!

I have met a woman who knows love so deeply that when she smiles you see all the grandness of the universe in her eyes.

I know a woman who is sassiness incarnate! Couple this with an endless capacity for fun and a laugh so glorious that hearing it ignites the joy buried in the deepest recesses of your heart… and you’ve got heaven walking on earth: a gift to all who know her.

People bringing themselves to what they do is mesmerising and powerful beyond measure. Just by being you and letting others see, you truly have the power to change the world. When you walk you, people notice… when you speak your truth, people hear.

When you let a person see the real you, you are showing them that it is safe to do the same. The true superpower is not invisibility, the power to fly or anything else that would enhance our physical capabilities in life: way more powerful is letting ourselves out and letting the world see – this is the impetus of true change!

Serge Benhayon is another man who imbues all he does with his true expression. Because this man has been prepared to share his wisdom, spunk, wit, deep care, unshakable knowing of truth, alignment to purpose – and I could go on all day – with the world, thousands of people worldwide have now been inspired to unlock their own true expression.

One workshop, one conversation – heck, one pass of this man in the hallway is enough inspiration to transform lives and see miracles happen… and for many, many people, this is exactly what seeing Serge in his full glory has led to.

  1. Kathryn I love they way you have expressed in this blog, I can feel the quality you bring as you share the quality you see in others.

    We all have our natural essence of expressions and when we are met by someone who allows us to be, and sees us for more then we think we are, the essence flows through. How many people in our everyday life has this effect on us? I’d say probably not many if any.

    Serge Benhayon has this inspiring way to bring this in people, if we are willing to go there too. And these miracles don’t happen overnight, just like the behaviours that don’t happen overnight too. They require us to do our part too, however long it takes is governed by you.

    I have such gratitude for Serge Benhayon for bringing many awareness’s to me by him simply presenting the truth, and allowing me to come to my own realisation and truth too.

  2. What a delight to read about people who have a True relationship with what they do, and thus others feel this with a True-appreciation of an-others lived way, so that there is a reflection that is matching the words they are expressing and they can simply accept this level of Lived-truth, which is life changing as you have shared Kate.

  3. Lovely Kate, you live such a deep appreciation for others! Your words have reminded me of the beauty that is always surrounding me and how much there is to see in people and in myself – all the qualities we each bring to the world.

    1. I love how appreciation begins with us first and in this, we see it in others, it is a great way to confirm others too. We don’t appreciate enough or one another. This blog demonstrates that anything is possible.

  4. There is no doubt about it Serge Benhayon has been and continues to be the catalyst to transform peoples lives. What he shares with us all is literally heaven sent as he reminds us all always that we are love before we are anything else and lets face it this is what we all want more than anything to be seen and heard for the absolute love that we all are. And when we reconnect to feel that love in our bodies again is the most exquisite feeling in the world.

  5. Kathryn, your deep appreciation and celebration of these people who you have so gorgeously described in your blog, is felt in many levels. One can feel the impact and the inspiration in your life, one can feel the ripple effect of this in the lives of many others, and one can feel the inspiration ignited in our own lives too. Thank you for this amazing sharing and celebration of who we are and allowing this expression to blossom.

  6. Kathryn, I love what you have shared here – it has really wrapped my heart with warmth: “People bringing themselves to what they do is mesmerising and powerful beyond measure. Just by being you and letting others see, you truly have the power to change the world. When you walk you, people notice… when you speak your truth, people hear.”

  7. Our expression has the power to heal and when we use it with the intention to heal and not harm, our world would be a very different place.

  8. There is nothing more gorgeous than someone expressing their true exquisiteness from their heart. Because in that reflection you see and are inspired to express more of your own divinity.

    1. Yes Golnaz if we are willing we can see ourselves in the exquisite reflection of someone who is allowing pure love to be expressed though their bodies, it is alchemical in its magic.

  9. We all have the power to be super powerful when expressing all of who we are from the Divine energy flowing through us

    1. Presence and expressing our truth is powerful, ‘From this woman I have learnt that a woman’s true power is in her presence and living her amazingness on the outside’.

  10. Expression is not about words or the right words, we can express ourselves through movement and touch, dance and music, through the way we clean our homes and the way we cook – all that we allow to come through us is expression and our true expression, love, is that superpower you speak of. Regardless of what we do, if we express with Love, love prevails.

  11. “People bringing themselves to what they do is mesmerising and powerful beyond measure.” I love this – the world is an incredibly rich and amazing place when you add together everyone’s unique expressions – you simply can’t afford to hold it back.

  12. Today I could clearly feel how important it is to open up, to let go protection we can keep on our body. By letting go we can express so much more of the love and beauty we are.

  13. Serge Benhayon is one such example of the power of true expression, and there are many people who are doing the same. Many I know are students of The Way of The Livingness, which is the way of living of the great masters like Jesus and Mohammed, Serge AND me.

  14. Expression is not just talking or singing. Our expression is to bring out the vibrations of our essence through our body.

    1. And we can do this through our movements and with every part of our body. Also, the quality of our voice is what is communicated too.

  15. I would start with Serge Benhayon. We all can feel that he is a master coming to earth with true love. Something we missed out from for long and many lives even we carry this essence equally in us. Deeply supporting and inspiring he and his family is for the world when ready to open our eyes.

  16. It is so super inspiring to see someone be all of themselves and not hold it back- children do this so effortlessly but somewhere along the way we start to learn that it’s not okay to be who we really are, and so we develop layers and layers of protection to hide behind. How freeing then, to start to notice what those layers are and to let them go, leaving more space for our true and natural expression to emerge and flourish. Every choice, every movement and moment, is either an expression of who we truly are, or a cementing of who we are not.

  17. Natural expression is always a gift because where it connects to. When this happens, we not only feel the beauty in the expression, but also feel a body that is part of what is being expressed.

    1. Beautifully shared Eduardo – the gift is our connection with our deepest essence, our Soul and beyond. There is no greater gift than this.

  18. There is a timeless beauty reflected back to me when I see someone expressing in full. It can be seen in a gaze, in a movement, in a gentle touch…Expression is everything, even from the absolut silence we can share how amazing and grand we all are, seemingly doing nothing, but making a huge difference.

  19. The people who have mostly inspired in my life were those who are not worried to be perfect, those who bring their natural playfulness, tenderness and grace to their everyday life with no holding back. They inspire me to do the same because being open to their reflection certainly changed my life so reflecting others all of who I am can change the life of many others.

    1. I love this Inma “The people who have mostly inspired in my life were those who are not worried to be perfect, those who bring their natural playfulness, tenderness and grace to their everyday life with no holding back.” These are the people that also inspire me and ignite my own heart to express joyfully.

    2. Absolutely Inma, these people are super inspiring, ‘The people who have mostly inspired in my life were those who are not worried to be perfect, those who bring their natural playfulness, tenderness and grace to their everyday life with no holding back.’

  20. Just our presence changes the world. I didn’t appreciate enough this fact as I believed that I had to do, to achieve, to work hard to change something outside. It was all about judging the world and people who behave different, not accepting them just as they are and not accepting me just as I am either. One of the things that most inspires me from Serge Benhayon and his family is how fully content with themselves they are regardless of the outside, whether if they are accepted by others or not. There is a gorgeousness in them that remind me mine. It has nothing to do with achievements or knowledge but a pure beingness walking in life with the joy of deeply knowing what’s their purpose here on Earth.

    1. Thank you Inma, you share so many beautiful comments that speak from your heart to mine. “One of the things that most inspires me from Serge Benhayon and his family is how fully content with themselves they are regardless of the outside, whether if they are accepted by others or not.” I am inspired by this also and is something I am working on. These words also touched me deeply about how the Benhayon’s live and how inspiring this is “a pure beingness walking in life with the joy of deeply knowing what’s their purpose here on Earth.”

    2. How important is our presence, our quality of being, ‘Just our presence changes the world. I didn’t appreciate enough this fact as I believed that I had to do, to achieve, to work hard to change something outside.’

  21. To be able to appreciate others’ true expression as their superpower and allow yourselves to be inspired, and express your appreciation to share and inspire others, is also an amazing superpower.

    1. So true Fumiyo – appreciation itself is a super power and allows us to really deepen our connection with our own Soul, the real super hero behind the scenes whose super powers we have access to when we step out of the way.

  22. Reading this blog is truly inspiring, to read about people who live their lives from true expression is further than inspiring, it freshens the breath we breathe.

  23. What I love in your blog Ian is your appreciation for other people and how their expressions have inspired you – if we all took inspiration from each other rather than criticised, judged or condemned each other I feel like a) our relationships would be much healthier and deeper with each other and b) we would discover much faster that same grandness in ourselves.

  24. We put on all these facades to hide our true qualities. It’s not only crazy but in the meantime what are we doing to ourselves?

  25. So gorgeous what you have observed Kate and the joy and appreciation you felt is so beautifully expressed in your sharing, appreciation is the new superpower.

  26. Thank you for expressing your appreciation of others and inviting us all to share our superpower expression with humanity in every move we make.

  27. Nothing can ever replace us moving and expressing openly, in a way that feels natural to us. Getting there is a movement that is consequence of another one: granting ourselves permission to speak truth and stay with it.

  28. I have often observed what it is that makes a real difference in a persons life. They may try many things, from work to relationships, from alcohol to religion. But the thing I see making the most and truest difference in lives is the power of expression – true expression from the innate heart of our being.

  29. I know a woman who can bring the fullness and glory of truth of appreciation out onto a page.Thank you Kathtyn Maroney – what a beautiful reflection of the power of appreciation for us all.

  30. This blog is not just expressive and appreciative but immensely enjoying people´s expression and thus highly contagious, just the way true expression is – inspiring, activating, engaging.

  31. Appreciation is such an amazing and important part of our daily lives, It is lovely to read how another deeply appreciates qualities in other people.

  32. I love your deep appreciation of all you meet Kathryn, and how meeting someone who absolutely lives who they are is just the spark many need to begin to do the same. The magic of the ripple affect made manifest by those touched by the life and way of Serge Benhayon.

  33. The transformation in understanding of life offered by Serge Benhayon cannot be underestimated or under valued. It is simply exquisite.

  34. When we bring focus back to expressing our true qualities everything in life gets taken care of. Although if we abandon our true qualities it may still look like we are living the same life but our experience (and for those around us) will be completely different.

  35. We inspire others by living our qualities in full, ‘In truth, all women have this grace even if it is buried deep, deep within. Just by being in the world, this woman is reminding other women that they too have a natural grace, while schooling them in how to live it.’

  36. You are blessed to know all of these amazing people, and to recognise and appreciate all their wonderful qualities, what a joy.

  37. Kathryn it didn’t take long before I had a big grin on my face which stayed right until the end of reading this blog. It was apparent to feel how joyful you are and your appreciation of others is tangible and infectious.

  38. What I can feel in this Kate in the connection these people have with themselves and in this the appreciation of all they are. When appreciation for all we are is felt, we can’t help but share it, it’s to good to keep to ourselves.

  39. You have a gorgeous way of expressing and appreciating people’s quality Kathryn. The less we focus on what we do the more space we have to focus on who we are – which effects everything we do anyway! It’s a win win situation.

  40. So gorgeous to feel your joy in appreciating all these amazing people in your life. I can feel the magic is in your ability to recognise and appreciate, and it is not that you are ‘lucky’ to know these people. The superpower is within us all, and by claiming that in our expression and letting others see, we offer each other permission to do the same.

  41. When you share all these expressions of the people you know, I just feel I want to meet them all! People who share the full of what they are in whatever they do, are the people you want to be with.
    Thanks for your inspirational sharing Kathryn.

  42. “In truth, all women have this grace even if it is buried deep, deep within. Just by being in the world, this woman is reminding other women that they too have a natural grace, while schooling them in how to live it.” I too have been inspired by some women and men like those you mention – then we in our turn can inspire others with our reflection. We all have ‘superpowers’ that tho long-buried, can be revealed once again. Our choice.

  43. ‘Superpowers’? Absolutely agreed. Unlock and let everyone into the beauty of who we are, drop those chains that would have us walking about as less than being A-MAZ-ING… and there we are – a world full of superheroes, blessing each other with a radiance that cannot but inspire, and changing the very foundation upon which we stand to be one of God’s Love and Truth.
    Bring it on Kathryn Maroney, I already have my cape and boots ready and in action…

    1. Love it Victoria! If we indeed live like that, we can and will transform the world, and rid it of all the evil there is. Isn’t that what super heroes do? I have my cape as well. No mask needed, I just show people the real me.

  44. Kathryn Maroney, clearly one of your great gifts in expression yourself, is to appreciate the gold you see and receive from others with not one iota of holding back!
    This is a rarity in this world indeed – for our harbouring of comparison, jealousy and attendant lack of worth prevents most from sharing with such absolute and true openness in appreciation.
    THANK-YOU for the great inspiration of connecting with this in you, and your every word here. More please – and also, write one about yourself dear lady… (if I may be so bold?)

  45. It’s such a powerful reflection to see someone completely at ease with being themselves in all that they do and not holding it back – it inspires us all to let go of pictures of who we think we need to be or how we think we need to act, and just simply be ourselves, without an ounce of trying or perfection.

  46. ‘When you let a person see the real you, you are showing them that it is safe to do the same.’ The awesome power of reflection which truly has the power to change the world.

  47. Glorious celebration of the power that we all have to inspire others when we truly express without holding back in any way. Perfect for me to read this morning when I am feeling fragile because of a clearing in my body with an underlying anxiety due to an important meeting I am attending later. Thank you for the reminder that all that is required is for me to go and be myself without any investment in the outcome.

  48. There is something so real and just infectious about people who are just simply themselves, and not afraid to show it, and I love your celebration of the fact Kathryn. It just lights up my day when I see people just being themselves and loving it and I feel an incredible joy in me and I feel part of something bigger than myself – I feel my own amazingness reflected back to me from another and that is special for us all. So the more we are us the more we inspire others to be themselves too.

  49. It seems we have built the world another way and it’s almost opposite in the way it is. We don’t support ourselves or each other in truly expressing what is there and more encourage a take on of many other things with notable exceptions. There is always a thought or a saying there to discourage you to from actually following what you are feeling and if you’re not aware these things will knock you off or out of what is a very natural flow. The only reason it’s not there for us on tap is because we haven’t tapped it enough or appreciated it fully. I can say appreciating other and yourself supports and this is true while also we need a consistent action to it. Like everything if you only do it now and then or as a one off then you will sense the difference but nothing will truly change. What is change as well, do we also look at it as a one off or a job done or do we see it again as a living thing that may ‘change’ at any minute. I can still feel a start stop in me and not an endless flow to unlocking more and more of a “true expression”. It is all just there while equally we have covered it with many things and so in the truth of it all, we will need to walk back to uncover what we once covered.

  50. A few years ago I would never thought that “delicateness and strength” could possibly go together in a sentence, especially in a sentence that was describing a man; how could a man be delicate and strong at the same time? But today my understanding of these words and my understanding of the true essence of a man has deepened to such a level that I know without a doubt that they do belong in the same sentence when you are describing a man who has re-connected to the truth of who he is; tender, sensitive, delicate and yes, strong.

  51. Kathryn, this is sooooo spot on! “When you let a person see the real you, you are showing them that it is safe to do the same. The true superpower is not invisibility, the power to fly or anything else that would enhance our physical capabilities in life: way more powerful is letting ourselves out and letting the world see – this is the impetus of true change!”
