Power is not
about exerting our will over others, it is about being in complete truth with
yourself. Many of us don’t really understand what
personal power means. We’ve been given the false notion that power is bad —
that it’s something we use to exert our will upon others. In fact, when our
personal power is intact, we are neither overbearing nor meek. We have a
clear sense of our strength and the impact we can have on others. This
actually enables us to be more sensitive. Personal power is what permits us
to work on behalf of our dreams and desires. It allows us to realize that we
are worthy and deserve to be heard. In addition, our personal power lets us
extend the respect we know that we deserve to the people around us. There is
no reason to be afraid or ashamed of fully owning your power. In the chakra system, the solar plexus is
the seat of personal power. One way to evaluate your sense of power is to
breathe into this part of the body. If it feels tight or nervous, it is an
indication that you may not be fully expressing your power. You can heal this
imbalance by expanding the area of the solar plexus with your breath. You can
also visualize a bright yellow sun in this part of your body. Allow its heat
to melt any tension, and let its light dissolve any darkness or heaviness.
Repeating this exercise on a regular basis can restore and rejuvenate your
sense of power. Another way to nurture your personal power
is to honor your dreams and desires by making concrete plans to manifest them
in the world. Start by making a list of things you want, and let yourself
think big. Choose one goal from the list and commit to bringing it to
fruition. In addition, break the goal into tasks that you can work on each
day. Know that you deserve to have your dreams come true and that you have
the power to bring them into being. |
