Part of being an
intuitive person is becoming in tune with, and trusting, your power center. Gut feelings earn their name from the place
in the body where they make themselves known. A pang in your gut when you may
be doing the wrong thing, or a vibrant zing when your body approves, can
guide you reliably at times when logic fails. Sometimes, when logic prevails,
we ignore our gut and live to regret it, understanding later that a rational
approach is only one way of determining what is going on in a situation and
how we should react. Our gut resides in the neighborhood of our
solar plexus and the third chakra just above your belly button. When it is
functioning well, we can trust its guidance and adjust our actions
accordingly. Many of us have a tendency to hold in this area of our bodies.
We may take shallow breaths that never reach this vital nexus that is the
source of our empowerment. It is in this place that we find the courage to
act, to reach out into the world and create change. When our power center is
out of balance, we are timid and out of sync, wishing we had said something
we were only able to phrase later when we were alone; wishing we had acted on
an opportunity we didn’t see until it was past. In order to utilize your power center, you
may want to focus your attention on it more regularly and make time to care
for it. You can begin right now by taking a deep breath into your belly. On
the exhale, pull your navel in toward your spine so as to empty out
completely before taking another deep breath into your belly. When you empty
completely, you release stagnant energy and create more space to be filled
with fresh, nourishing breath. The more you practice this simple, cleansing
exercise, the more clear and communicative your gut feelings will be and the
more comfortable you will feel acting on them. |
