Reclaim Your Power

Negative, stressful things happen! We all know someone (or maybe it’s us) who is going through a difficult time - a relationship issue, job loss or a health issue.

When these things happen, you tend to feel powerless. Your sense of strength and purpose is challenged. Anxiety kicks in and the nagging voice of worry and self-doubt takes over.

Situations where you feel unempowered create blocks and imbalances in your third chakra.

The third chakra is your energetic power center. It’s located above your belly button in the solar plexus. Confidence and self-esteem come from a healthy third chakra.

So - what can you do to regain your power when life throws you a curveball?

It sounds like a cliché, but it starts by taking a deep breath.

Bringing oxygen to your solar plexus will cleanse and re-energize your chakra and restore the flow of energy. Also, focusing on your breath will help quiet your mind.

Energy Exercise

Take three deep breaths. Focus on the air gently moving in and filling your belly. With each exhale, feel the stress and negativity releasing.

If your mind starts to chatter, pause and then re-focus on your breathing.

Once your mind is quiet, continue to breathe deeply and imagine golden light coming down through your crown chakra (the top of your head).

See the light reach your solar plexus. Feel the doubt and anxiety being washed away.

As the gold light moves down through your body, you feel it healing and restoring every part of you.

When you feel restored, allow the gold light to flow down through the rest of your body and out through the soles of your feet.
