Many of us do not feel powerful, in at least one area of life. Perhaps we feel empowered in our job, a sense of security and knowing how things work and what to do, or in our creativity and how to make things, but feel powerless or in conflict in relationships with others. Perhaps we feel powerful in our relationships, but not our jobs. Wherever there is a feeling of diminished power, most of us attempt to control others. Our focus then becomes on the "other" and not on self, with a feeling of "if only they would do this or behave in that way, do this for me or give me this opportunity -- then I could relax and feel good". Or "How could they do this to me!?" and feel hurt, like a victim. True personal power is a sense of confidence and purity of motive, combined with drive, discipline in action towards a positive goal for oneself or the world and satisfaction and joy in its achievement - for its own sake. The attempt to control or manipulate others (or the flip side of the same frequency - feeling controlled, subservient or a victim of others) is the shadow of personal power. Dark energy such as this produces stress, anxiety, fear and suffering. Even those that are successful in their manipulation and control of others do not feel satisfied with these "achievements" because the next thing to 'control' shows up immediately, destroying the sense of satisfaction. No amount of controlling others (or wallowing in victim's self pity) will compensate for not being connected to Source, in the Flow of Joyous Manifestation, Allowing the Successful Achievement of a Pure Motive Desire and Allowing Oneself to Feel Joy and Gratitude. |
This is Power over Self - being a Master of Oneself. Most of us are brought up to believe that we must conform to some program or specific way or follow the rules of others in order to "make it" in life. The focus then becomes on survival (avoiding death) rather than living life passionately and self chosen purpose. Often we are seeking someone else's approval, or doing something we don't really want to do, attempting to "make it" in the world in order to heal a damaged self-esteem. Knowing what one wants, for its own sake, seeking to achieve it, and enjoying its creation is true personal power, that hurts neither other nor oneself. Thomas Edison sought to create Light in the Darkness not because he wanted to be famous or rich or show "them" he was good enough. He desired with the whole of his being to Create Light in the Darkness - for its own sake - because he wanted to. Fame and wealth are additional goals that may spring forth from there - from the initial Creation that could also be focused on and sought after and acheived For Its Own Sake. Self- Congratulation. Self- Fulfillment. Happiness. We all have a Divine Right to create our own Self-Defined Life. That is Free Will - Free Choice. What do you Desire? What Do You Want? For its Own Sake? Focus on this and the means and ideas and opportunities and Personal Power will come to you - One Step at A Time. And with each step, more ideas, more opportunities, more Personal Power. And with Your Calling Forth of Appreciation and Joy at each successful step, more will come! |

3rd Chakra 3rd Chakra energy is the energy of Self connected to Source. The Me the Mine the I. Many confuse Self Interest with Arrogance. Arrogance is a vibration of Comparing oneself to others and judging oneself as Better Than. Low self esteem is comparing oneself to others and judging oneself as Less Than. Sometimes one person may suffer from both of these negative programs in 3rd Chakra. 3rd Chakra energy governs the physical body at the abdomen and the organs associated with digestion and processing food for Life Force. Negatively judging, oneself or others, depletes and damages this vibration which can negatively impact the physical body. True Self Esteem is a feeling of self-acceptance of oneself, now, just the way things are and seeking a greater expression of the I, the Me, the Mine with confidence, joy and courage. Expressing, sharing and not comparing. Not to Win over others, but to find joy in challenging oneself. |
To enhance the vibration of 3rd Chakra, use or wear the crystal Citrine, remembering all the good about oneself and one's life with self-acceptance, and forgiving the past. Using 3rd Chakra Oil directly on the body adds positive vibrations, a feeling of comfort and relaxation. 3rd Chakra tea soothes from the inside out, a tea for gathering strength and power, African Honeybush, sweetened with vanilla and orange peel in a golden cup with a scent of honey. Take the Flower Essence Buttercup: for feeling one's true worth with others or Evening Primrose: healing the feeling of being unloved and unwanted due to actual trauma, abuse or neglect in early childhood or Heather: releasing the tendency to see Self in terms of one's problems and preoccupation with personal suffering.
