The Seat of Personal Power

A strong Solar Plexus Chakra allows one to to remain calm even if all about you flail in a brilliant display of scattered, ineffective power!

Today in our world there is an abundant display of weak personal power… bullying, striving for perfection (looks, performance, accomplishment), projection of false images to cover inner weakness and lack, incessant pursuit of exterior change.

Learning how to settle into our own authentic self with its essential power is an antidote to fear and a lack of personal power. Once we are at ease within our own skin,  our true selves, then our role in the larger world comes clear and becomes effortless…and there is no need for a clipboard, megaphone or defensive behaviors.
