Take Back Your Power

Our solar plexus is the center of our will and personal power, which begins to develop in the womb and asserts itself in the very early stages of childhood as we learn to walk, talk and make associations with our experiences and environment. Eventually, our will and personal power becomes altered through what Don Miguel Ruiz calls “human domestication” by our parents and society, leaving us feeling threatened and dominated. As we grow older, we begin to associate certain individuals with the figures in our lives that dominated us in the first place, and when around these individuals, we feel powerless and have difficulty asserting ourselves and setting appropriate boundaries. We have unconsciously given away our power and feel victimized, which usually makes us silently seethe with unexpressed anger and resentment.

Powerful Insights

When I first experienced reclaiming my power, it was subtle, yet highly powerful. I was sitting in Reiki meditation when thoughts and images of people from my past began to arise: people toward whom I had held great resentment for whatever injustices I thought they had committed.

Then, something shifted.

I realized that I had felt inferior, insecure, dominated and powerless in the presence of these particular individuals. What struck me the most, however, was feeling powerless. I felt fragmented, and perceived an emptiness in my solar plexus.

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks: I had freely given my power to these people! Though the reasons varied from person to person, ultimately it derived from my feelings of inferiority and from not trusting myself or having confidence within myself. It was far easier for me to give my power to another person, healthy or unhealthy, who would “guide” me in my choices and decisions, which absolved me of any real responsibility for my own life and its direction. It was also in line with the unconscious belief that I was a victim. I could play out the programmed dramas I had inherited from my family of origin. But that’s another article.

Powerful Imaging

I first did this in a safe and quiet environment, under the guidance of silent meditation. Reiki is extremely powerful in this process, but not necessary. Next, when the images and emotions began to arise, I was gentle with myself, breathed normally and allowed them to arise. If it doesn’t happen for you right away or in the way you think it should, notice the impatience within yourself, without judging it, and realize that everything blossoms in its own way and in its own time. This, as with anything, takes patience.

I then visualized each person, one by one, holding a yellow ball that I not only imagined, but that I felt contained my power. I reached out and took my yellow power ball from each individual and placed it back into my solar plexus.

What happened next? I felt exhilarated! I felt like parts of me were filled that I never knew were missing. The greatest part of this experience was taking responsibility for myself, realizing that I am not a victim unless I choose to play the role, and most importantly, that no one has the ability to take away my power unless I freely give it to them.

    How could I have been so blind and deaf for all these years?

    Stress caused by people in the workplace happened only because I allowed them to take my power. My religion teaches patience and forgiveness, and even if a co-worker danced around with blatant lies and ego trips and manipulations through half-truths, my religion taught me to close my eyes and pray for that person. It does work but it takes a very long time. There are a lot of people who rub in their desires to go up at all costs or rub in their cover-ups for their self-caused burdens.

    To empower myself without playing rough and confrontational is the challenge.
    I tried the yellow ball technique. My goodness, this is the day when I feel so relieved and no longer afraid. I have been stressed out for the past six days, and today the monstrous cloud over me is gone!

    Thank you and thank you!

    Emma – my ex husband was a lot like yours! And my Mother was never there for me. To not repeat these patterns with your children I encourage you to find someone who can work with you to do some emotional healing work – and practice self love and self acceptance. I have to look in the mirror and tell myself I am amazing, worthy, and loved. Daily meditation is helpful too. Best to you and your family.

    Timing is everything (subject of article.) I just had another power war with my Narcissistic ex. He is very emotionally abusive, as was my father. I keep trying so many different things to gain some of my self-esteem where he is concerned. He is the only person that I have this problem with. Ever since I have been away from him, I have grown stronger. Unfortunately, we still are connected thru our kids. I slept two hours last night because of our fight. I hope that somehow I will find a way to finally overcome his control. He scares me, both verbally and financially……

    Hi Phoenix,

    I have enjoyed reading your articles on chakras and I especially liked this one on the solar plexus……
    taking back your power is to set yourself free from much stress and letting the past finally go, thus being truly free once again.
    As a professional career psychic, I have always felt that it was and is part of my job to empower the client as much as possible……to encourage them to reclaim the power that they unknowingly surrendered to situations and others.

    Blessed Be )O(
