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. |
