Many of us have do not understand what personal power means. We
have been given the false notion that power is bad -- that it is 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.
