Your Personal Power and the Solar Chakra
Bonnie Moss
Personal power is subtle. It is about your feeling confident about who and what you are. There is a positive and negative personal power inherent in all of us. Working with the solar plexus chakra opens up the positive qualities of strength, self-confidence, self-esteem, a healthy way of being self-assertive. Positive personal power paves the way for a healthy and loving relationship with family, friends and associates. It is a way to achieve goals through being self-assured, a way to be the master of oneself. A positive state of personal power becomes a state of the mind, an attitude.
This healthy state of personal power is not about an attempt to be always in control of a situation or of others. This development of personal power is not about the ability to master the manipulation of others. When you work successfully with the solar plexus chakra, it opens up competence, positive personal qualities: a gift of vision that radiates generosity, kindness and warmth to the world. It helps you to manifest your world. Issues of fear, of rejection, trust and self-image are dealt with in this chakra, the center for action, energy and self-power.
