Shi Heng Yi. 13 Signs your Aura Is Too Powerful

 -If you have ever been labeled as too much, if you have ever felt alone in a crowded room, or if your energy caused people to act strange around you, this is your confirmation. Your power is real. Your presence is rare. And it is time you understand exactly why. 

-When your aura is this strong, it is not just a vibe. It is a revolution in motion. 

-Have you ever walked into a room and felt like the atmosphere change instantly? Not because of what you said or did, but simply because you were there. 

-Have you noticed how people sometimes stare at you, hesitate before speaking or seem unsure around you for no clear reason? 

-Your aura is the energy that radiates from your soul. When that energy is powerful, grounded, and authentic, it just does not enter a room. It shifts the entire room. Not everybody can handle that. Not everyone is comfortable around that kind of force because your presence speaks a language that many people are not yet ready to understand. 

SIGNS.

1. You intimidate people without saying a word. You don't need to raise your voice to be noticed. You don't seek attention. But somehow, eyes find you. Conversations pause when you enter. People adjust themselves. It's not your clothing, your posture, or your tone. It is your presence. You carry yourself with quiet strength and certainty. And that can be intimidating to those who are insecure or unsure of themselves. 

2. You speak the truth even when it is uncomfortable. You have no time for small talk or sugarcoated lies. When something is wrong, you call it out. When someone is being fake, you feel it instantly. And instead of playing along, you speak up. You value truth over comfort. This makes you stand out in a world that often rewards people for staying quiet and blending in. Some will say you are harsh, others will say you are blunt, but deep down they know you are real. That kind of honesty makes people confront things they would rather ignore. 

3. You instantly see through people. It is not magic. It is intuition. You read energy. People can lie with words but not with their energy and you pick up on it quickly. That's why people feel exposed around you. They know they can't fake it. They can't pretend it. And that's exactly why they keep their distance because your aura demands truth and not everybody is ready to be seen that clearly. 

4. You attract people, then you leave them confused. You are magnetic. They want to be near you. But once they get closer, they realize you are not like anyone they have met before. You are calm but intense, gentle but unshakable. You don't follow the usual patterns. 

5.You don't crave attention, yet you draw it. You thrive in solitude. You enjoy your own company. You don't fear silence. You welcome it. You have learned that real strength is built alone. When your aura is powerful, it disrupts. 

6. You don't chase people. You attract what is aligned. You are not desperate for love, attention, or approval. You don't need people to stay. You have built self-respect. You have done the inner work. And that means you are not going to lower your standards just to keep someone around. 

7. You trigger people without intending to. Your confidence exposes their insecurity. Your peace reveals their chaos. Your authenticity makes their pretending obvious. So they may lash out, pull away. They may even try to bring you down. But remember this: their reaction says more about them than it does about you. You are a mirror and not everybody likes what they see in their reflection. 

8. You have natural boundaries that people can feel. You walk with purpose. You hold space with intention. You don't entertain drama. You don't tolerate manipulation. 

9. You make people want to be better. Your energy inspires. You have been through things that would break most people. And you turned your pain into power. You are here to shine so brightly that it wakes others up. Trust that your energy is powerful for a reason. A powerful aura is not just about how others see you. It's about how you show up in every moment of your life. It's a result of pain that did not break you, growth that did not come easy, and standards you refused to lower. Your aura is the silent message you send before you even speak. It's your soul signal, loud, clear, and unfiltered. 

10.. You make silence feel loud. You are not afraid of pauses of conversations or being alone with your thoughts. When you do speak, people listen. You don't talk to be heard but to be understood. 

11. You don't need to prove yourself. You walk in your truth. And that truth does not need applause to exist. 

12.  People project their insecurities onto you. 

13. You are not for everyone. This is the most powerful sign of all. You no longer try to shrink, adjust, or dilute yourself to make others comfortable. You were meant to walk into a room and remind people of who they truly are or who they are afraid to become. By now, you are starting to understand your aura is not just energy. It is identity. It is strength. 

You challenge the status quo without even trying. Your presence alone makes people question their habits, their beliefs and their mindset because you are not living in autopilot like most. You follow truth. You don't settle for average. You strive for excellence. You value peace over popularity, growth over comfort, purpose over approval. That makes your aura magnetic and intimidating. You are unapologetically authentic. You have stopped editing yourself to be liked. Your authenticity exposes their act. And instead of facing their own truth, they will blame you for being too real, too bold, or too intense. But what they really mean is that you remind me of everything I am too afraid to be. You are comfortable in your own solitude. This might be one of the most underrated signs of all. You don't rely on external energy to fill full. You did not wake up one day with a powerful aura. You earned it. You earned it through heartbreaks you had to heal from alone. You earned it through battles no one knew you were fighting. You earned it every time you kept showing up when quitting would have been easier. Now, you light within you is undeniable and too much for some to handle. But that's not your problem. this final part is your reminder to protect your energy, honor your growth and own your power with grace. You don't beg for belonging anymore. Your aura does not ask for permission anymore. Any place that requires your aura to shrink is not a place worth staying in. Those who resonate with your frequency will recognize you immediately. They will not ask you to tone it down. They will celebrate your light. You walk with scars but you wear them like medals. Stay unapologetically you. Do not tone it down. Don't hide. You were made to stand out. You were never meant to blend in. You were sent to wake people up, to raise the frequency. Yes, it is lonely sometimes. You will lose people along the way. But what you gain in exchange is priceless: peace, alignment, and power that no one can take from you. You are here to be felt by the right ones. 

Shi Heng Yi. Quotes V

 -People who felt they didn't quite fit in. Not because they were not worthy, but because they carried something others cannot define. A force, a fire, a frequency, that most people simply aren't ready to face. 

-Your aura is louder than your words. It enters before you do. And it speaks a language that only the awakened can understand. 

-When your energy is potent, when your soul has done the inner work, when you have turned pain into wisdom, you don't walk through life the same way others do. You walk with a presence that demands honesty. You hold space in a way that makes people confront their own shadows. You don't need to shout to be heard. Your silence speaks volumes. And while some people will admire you, others will misunderstand you. They will call you intimidating when really they are just not used to someone who doesn't chase validation. They will call you distant when in truth you are just protecting your peace. They will call you too intense when what they really mean is you make me feel things I have been avoiding. That's the cost of power. Not everybody can hold it. When it radiates from you effortlessly, when  it is in your walk, your words, and your worth, you will begin to notice patterns. People stare that don't speak. They feel seen in your presence but they avoid eye contact. They gravitate toward you, then pull back just as fast. They question themselves after being around you, not because you judge them, but because your authenticity reminds them of what they have buried. 



Shi Heng Yi. Quotes IV

 -Jumping out of your character brings awareness so that you know what kind of patterns you want in your life. This is where it starts: the awareness and ability to observe yourself. 

-Like an experiment, watch yourself. 

-Awareness, mindfulness and being conscious about yourself is the beginning to break the cycle of certain patterns. That's way I can know in what I want to invest my life. Is it really worth it? Is it worth to attain something I am working on right now? If it is worth it, then do it. 

-The only thing I am trying to prevent people from doing is unconsciously following structures, patterns, and cycles that in their imaginations they are going to give them something they are longing for. But they won't. 

-How can we get the balance between doing and being? We need to get into action but also we cannot keep going into action all the time. We need to stop and see what we achieve, observe it and enjoy it. 

-I would have never arrived at the point where I am right now without what happened in the past. The sorrow and regrets were so painful that I was left only with two choices: 

1. You learned from what went wrong. 

2. You learn to let it go by forgiving somebody or yourself. 

-You cannot move on if you still carry old baggage inside of you. 


Quotes from Shi Heng Yi from the Shaolin Temple of Europe III

 -Put yourself under tension similar to what would happen in real life. (Training)

Learn how does it feel what can you do to release that tension.

-Why do we have the virtues? The force, what you are learning, the cultivation of energy, the skills that you are learning, they are very powerful things. But what makes the difference between somebody possessing this power and using it for the sake of humanity or somebody using it not for the betterment of the humanity? It is the character. 

-Virtues build the framework of the character of the avatar.

-If the person cannot ask the question, he cannot receive the answer. 

-We all want Freedom. The opposite of Freedom is pattern, structure. We all want things. We attain one and then we want the next. Are we going to follow this pattern? Are we break this pattern? Observe this pattern and you can break the cycle. 

-Stop running after things unconsciously. 

-To break this cycle jump out of your character. Imagine this is a movie. Observe your character. From this perspective I see something differently. I can see from a wider perspective. I am not caught inside my own patterns anymore. But suddenly I can see the patterns of this character. This is the beginning where you see patterns. 

-Some patterns are useful, some patterns are not useful.

Quotes from Shi Heng Yi from the Shaolin Temple of Europe II

 -Compassion is the result of a deep connection. 

-Average is not enough. 

-How your fire keeps going on? Vision, purpose, people, trust. 

-The energy out of anger brings separation. 

-The important thing is  what is the foundation of your fire? If the foundation is not based on virtues, on values, then the same force, the same energy is getting to a dark direction, a destructive direction. 

-Self-centerness is what is causing problems in this world. 

-The essence of Shaolin is that you need to see yourself, you need to find your weakness, and then you need to have the courage in order to figure out new ways, entering into new territory to fight those weaknesses.

-This attitude of seeing your weakness, finding a way how to improve it, improving it is the core, the essence of Shaolin. 

Quotes from Shi Heng Yi from the Shaolin Temple of Europe

 -Is this action compatible to what or where I want to go?

-You need to  discipline yourself regardless of how you feel inside. 

-Discipline also means you are leaving away stuff that you know is going to block you along the way. 

-You push yourself to that point where you feel is time to rest and when the mind says it is time to rest that's the point to keep going, that's the threshold which is going to make the difference afterwards. 

-Discovering your limits is your first step. Discovering your limits tells you what you can do and what you cannot do at the moment. 

-The martial arts is not only physical but the way to condition myself to a certain vibe that I am carrying out throughout this life. And what is this vibe? I don't know what this life is going to bring but there is no alternative than when the challenge comes, when life is getting hard, there is no alternative for me than just keep going. But, from where I can pull this strength? From where I can get this energy to keep going when I am feeling already exhausted? It is because I do it everyday for one hour. Exactly the same thing is happening but using my body, conditioning my body to the limit and then, by doing so cultivating the mindset.

Where are you?

 What is this? Shadows walking embracing their own tombs... while an ubiquitous claw is grasping everybody's light...

Where are the heroes?

Where are the muses?

Where are the gods?

Where are the angels?

Where?

Where?

Where?...

Poison inoculated... and dirty nauseating cloths impeding the touch of an air already toxic...  

Why are you quiet?

Why are you silent?

Why are you betraying all and everything? 

It is coming the storm...

It is coming the battle... the final battle... are you ready?

The Cure - ENDSONG - Shows Of A Lost World - Live Mix 2022 #4 [Multi Sub]


[Verse]
And I'm outside in the dark
Staring at the blood red moon
Remembering the hopes and dreams I had
All I had to do
And wondering what became of that boy
And the world he called his own
And I'm outside in the dark
Wondering how I got so old

[Chorus 1]
It’s all gone, it’s all gone
Nothing left of all I loved
It all feels wrong
It’s all gone, it’s all gone, it’s all gone
No hopes, no dreams, no world
No, I don’t belong
AI don’t belong here anymore

[Chorus 2]
It’s all gone, it’s all gone
I will lose myself in time
It won’t be long
It’s all gone, it’s all gone, it’s all gone

[Outro]
Left alone with nothing at the end of every song
Left alone with nothing at the end of every song
Left alone with nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

Horizons' Disintegration

 Cadavers walking with their coffins on their shoulders. Where do they go when sunsets go out? Where do they go? No turning back... when you let your own essence get rotten... No salvation for shadows making ceaseless effort looking the other way... the opposite to the Horizons...

Where do they go when sunsets go out? When sunsets go out? When sunsets go out?

The only aristocracy is decency. But these cadavers chose disintegration. Dare to look! Dare to look at them! Look at them! 

No more Horizons for the impostors of humanity... No rest for those who sold their souls for a few cents... 

The Eternal brave heroes are looking down from above... They cannot believe what the see... They cannot fathom so much depravation, so much betrayal, decomposition... 

Where do they go when sunsets go out? Where do they go when Horizons go out?

We do yo go sweet beggar? Are you ready? Are you?

The 5am club by Robin Sharma. Quotes XLIV

 -In every life, especially the hardest ones, doorways of possibility and gateways into the miraculous swing open, revealing the reality that everything that each one of us experiences is part of some intelligent and yes often illogical plan meant to draw us nearer to our greatest powers, most wonderful circumstances and highest good. 

-Education is the ultimate highway into freedom. 

-No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. 

-Suffering can either embitter us or ennoble us. 

-Leadership is for everyone. 

-We all must break free from our private jails that incarcerate our glory and keep our nobility in bondage. Please, remember that gifts and talents neglected become curses and sorrows. 

-Yes, no matter what struggles we face and what adversities we will endure. No matter what attacks, humiliation and violence are visited on us. We must persist. We must continue. We must stay strong. We must live our luminous nature. And magnify our sovereign selves. Even if it feels the whole world is against us. This is truly what makes us human beings. Even if it seems the light will never transcend the darkness, keep making your walk to freedom. Model what's highest for the rest of us. Exemplify grace, for the majority of us. Demonstrate actual love, for all of us. 

-Refrain from allowing the shadow forces of fear, rejection, doubt and disappointment to dim the light of your most luminous self.  

-To lead is to inspire others by the way that you live. To lead is to walk through the fires of your hardest times to step up into forgiveness. To lead is to remove any form of mediocrity from infiltrating the quarters of your life in a dazzling celebration of the majesty that is your birthright. To lead is to turn your terrors into triumphs and translate each of your heartbreaks into heroism. 

The 5am club by Robin Sharma. Quotes XLIII

 -When you summit a high peak, you'll see the next range of peaks waiting to be scaled. 

-Increase constantly your personal standards and raise the quality of your life. 

-Go through life as a world-class. 

-Your relationship with everything outside of yourself cannot help but be a demonstration of your relationship with all that is within you. 

-Every human being you meet has a lesson to teach, a story to tell and some dream in their heart that longs for your support. 

-Very little of what happened to you was an accident. Everything was for your growth. And all was for your good. 

-Connect with your mortality. Understand that your days are numbered. And with the passage of every glorious morning, you grow closer to your end. 

-Don't put off expressing your gifts and talents. 

-Life absolutely is a sublime journey. Yes, we all experience trials and heartbreak. But it's all mostly good. Every hero story needs to have a villain as well as some juicy tragedy along with the triumphs and ultimate victory for it to be a tale worth watching. 

-Keep the shortness of life at the forefront of your focus. 

-Tomorrow is a promise not a fact. Enjoy every morning and appreciate each day you have on Earth. Take bold risks yet hedge them with common sense. Balance living like there is not tomorrow with behaving like you'll live forever. So that when the end does come you'll know you lived your life as a majestic testimony to the capacity for legendary that every human being carries inside of them.

The 5 am club by Robin Sharma. Quotes X

 -In a world that seeks to keep you down, build yourself up. In an epoch that wishes you would stay in the dark, step into your light. At a time that mesmerizes you to forget your gifts, reclaim your genius. 

-Display respect and compassion. 

-I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is not brief candle for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible handing it on to future generations. 

-Commitment, discipline, patience, and work. Values few believe in these days, where so many have an entitlement mentality, expecting a rich, productive and fulfilling life to just show up one day like a sparrow at the beginning of spring.

-Each one of you carries a quiet genius and a triumphant hero within your hearts. 

-You will be faced with the chance of showing leadership, wherever you are and in all that you do. 

-Leadership is an arena everyone gets to play in. Because leadership is a lot less about having a formal title, a large office and money in the bank. And a lot more about committing to mastery over all you do and in who you are. It's about resisting the tyranny of the ordinary, refusing to allow negativity to hijack your sense of awe and preventing any form of slavery to mediocrity from infesting your life. 

-Never work only for the income. 

-They way you begin your day really does determine the extent of focus, energy, excitement and excellence you bring to it. 

-You have such power within you and it reveals itself most with the first rays of daybreak.

The 5 am club by Robin Sharma. Quotes VIII

 -Too many dumb people around these days. Taking stupid fashion pictures of themselves with pouty lips in clothes they. can't afford. Hanging with people they don't even like.

And we think about those we most love will say about us when we are gone.

Communicative approach in teaching an L2. Criticisms

 Many schools are adopting a communicative approach at the time to teach an L2. Here, we are going to detail several criticisms (Swan, 1985; Bax, 2003) regarding this extended doctrine:

1. Assumes no L1 transfer. L2 learners already possess communicative skills that might be useful. These L1 communicative skills are ignored and they could be used to enhance the L2 learning process. 

2. No consideration of new knowledge or usefulness. This approach does not take into consideration the learners' background knowledge nor the usefulness of the practice implemented. 

3. Contextual factors affecting learners are avoided. Social, environmental, personal, academic, and motivational factors affecting L2 learners are considered. 

4. Academic explanation avoided. Since essential aspects of any language are reduced to a minimum or are not taught (grammar, phonetics, spelling, etc.), L2 learners cannot comprehend the functioning of the L2 language, which fosters the creation of multiple learning gaps. 

5. Egocentrism, the method is all you need. The means or method justifies the end. However, there is not any universal truth in education, no magical formula that can guarantee that with its implementation learners can become fluent in the L2.   

6. Reactive learnersLearners are dependent on the teacher and external factors. They cannot build their own knowledge since the grammatical, semantic, and phonetic rules are reduced to a minimum, which prevents them from understanding the processes and functioning of the L2 language. Therefore, L2 learners under this approach cannot become independent learners. Their knowledge is always outside-in, instead of inside-out. 

Therefore, an L2 teaching based upon this approach, creates confusion and inefficiency. The use of this approach alone, also fosters the development of learning gaps since learners are not provided with all the necessary tools to learn. Also, this approach builds dependent learners, not able to build their own L2 knowledge since they don't know the grammatical, phonetic, and semantic rules.

The 5 am club by Robin Sharma. Quotes VI

Shambhala. The Sacred Path of the Warrior. Chapter 8. Renunciation and Daring. Quotes.


-The situations of fear that exist in our lives provide us with stepping stones to step over our fear.

-On the other side of cowardice is bravery.

-Tenderness contains an element of sadness.

-In order to be a good warrior one has to feel this sad and tender heart. If a person doesn’t feel alone and sad, he cannot be a warrior at all.

-The warrior is sensitive to every aspect of phenomena.

-We are so accustomed to accept what is bad for us and rejecting what is good for us.

-The warrior who has accomplished true renunciation is completely naked and raw, without even skin or tissue. He has renounced putting on a new suit of armor or growing a thick skin, so his bone and morrow are exposed to the world. He has no room and no desire to manipulate situations. He is able to be, quite fearlessly, what he is. At this point, having completely renounced his own comfort and privacy, paradoxically, the warrior finds himself more alone. He is like an island, sitting alone in the middle of a lake. Occasional ferry boats and commuters go back and forth between the shore and the island, but all that activity only expresses the further loneliness, or the aloneness of the island. Although the warrior’s life is dedicated to helping others, he realizes that he will never be able to completely share his experience with others. The fullness of his experience is his own, and he must live with his own truth. Yes, he is more and more in love with the world. That combination of love affair and loneliness is what enables the warrior to constantly reach out to help others. By renouncing his private world, the warrior discovers a greater universe and a fuller and fuller broken heart. That is not something to feel bad about, it is a cause for rejoicing. It is entering the warrior’s world.

El corazón del guerrero. Chogyam Trungpa

“El guerrero que ha logrado la verdadera renuncia está completamente desnudo y en carne viva, sin piel ni tejido. Ha renunciado a ponerse una nueva armadura o dejarse crecer una piel gruesa, por lo que su hueso y entrañas están expuestos al mundo. No tiene espacio ni deseo de manipular situaciones. Es capaz de ser, sin temor alguno, lo que es. En este punto, habiendo renunciado por completo a su propia comodidad e intimidad, paradójicamente, el guerrero se encuentra más solo. Es como una isla, sentado solo en medio de un lago. Ocasionalmente, los transbordadores y los viajeros van y vienen entre la costa y la isla, pero toda esa actividad solo expresa la mayor soledad o la soledad de la isla. Aunque la vida del guerrero está dedicada a ayudar a los demás, se da cuenta de que nunca podrá compartir completamente su experiencia con los demás. La plenitud de su experiencia es suya, y debe vivir con su propia verdad. Sí, está cada vez más enamorado del mundo. Esa combinación de historia de amor y soledad es lo que le permite al guerrero acercarse constantemente para ayudar a los demás. Al renunciar a su mundo privado, el guerrero descubre un universo mayor y un corazón roto cada vez más pleno. Eso no es algo por lo que sentirse mal, es motivo de regocijo. Es entrar en el mundo del guerrero.”
