Open Your Personal Power Center at Your Third or Solar Plexus Chakra

I asked my third or solar plexus chakra for an overview of its energy. Here’s what it reminded me about our third chakra.

 “Oh my dear Linda… I AM your power center. It is through me that you step out into the world and share through action, through the integrity of knowing that you are utterly and totally unique in all the world!

There is not now, never has been and never will be another you. Think how amazing that statement really is.

No one, throughout all the eons of time and space is you. So can you see that, by hiding out from your own life, you are really depriving everyone of your unique spin on the world… your unique perspective… your unique point of view? No one else has it. And in this way as well, you might realize that each and every one of the rest of the over 7 billion on the planet right now are the same.

So rather than fighting and condemning each other, you might see the utter beauty and life within each of you. You are god’s gift to the world! You and everyone else. For now this is a thought worth meditating on.”

Third Chakra Personal Power Center

Just under your rib cage, above your navel, back by the spine is your third, or solar plexus chakra. Your seat of power, sense of personal identity and self-worth. You’ve moved up from your first chakra energy where you feel safe in the world held within your family and group mind, and grounded in your body, to the second chakra where your needs, desires, creativity and pleasures form, to the beginnings of relating to yourself.

The third chakra is your personal power center. Your awareness of you as an individualized self. It’s the seat of self-esteem, self-respect, self-discipline and the ability to take action. It turns those desires you felt in the second chakra into action steps so you accomplish what you want in the world.

Here you learn to take responsibility for your own life, knowing you are the one creating it. You begin to be aware when you project your own issues and problems onto others.

The more you stand in your own truth, the more powerful you are. You stop being swayed by the opinion of others, trying to please them or prove your worth. This is the power of a deep sense of self, no longer needing to control others, but allowing them to be fully who they are as well.

Third Chakra Vows

The Not Good Enough Blues

The negative vows you take at the third chakra relate to setting personal boundaries and acting appropriate … who you think you should be, not who you really are. Because you learned that that person is somehow not good enough.

This is the people pleaser, always sacrificing yourself, putting other’s needs first. Here is a deep feeling of not being “good enough”, of not deserving. You think you have to prove your worth by compulsively giving, taking care of others or being a high achiever.

On the other side is the vow to never let go, to resist everything, to stay in battle with the world. This is the vow you take when you say things like, “I’ll never be like my father!” “I never want to be like my mother!” It keeps you stuck in a pattern of resistance.

You don’t get to be fully yourself because you’re trying so hard to not be them.

It’s also the bully. Of demanding that everything be done your way.

Or it’s not safe to be seen and heard so you vow to hide out, become invisible. You take up as little space in the world as possible. This also comes from feeling worthless, not good enough.

If you run a business these vows show up by:

• not charging enough for your services
• giving away credit for your ideas or what you do
• feeling guilty when people do pay you.
• Or working yourself to the bone, driven by a need to prove your worth and value.

If you’re a parent – especially a mom – it’s so easy to give and give and give and never take time for yourself.

Clearing and Releasing the Old Stories Held in Your Chakras

As you begin to release the blocked energy you’ve been holding around these vows, you can honor your own unique self. You stop needing to battle the world. You see how you traded so-called safety for your own expression of who you truly are. Let your voice be heard and take action toward the goals you set for yourself.
