Today in our Standing in Your Own Power series, I’d like to share a visualization technique taught to me by Leonie Allen, host of Goddess Guidebook and creator of the Chakra Healing Guided Meditation Kit. (And now proud new mama of baby Ostara!)
Last year, I called Leonie because I was feeling insecure – tossed about by a fistful of opinions and ideas, none of which I was sure were mine. Leonie walked me through a chakra cleansing process (something I know very little about.) She said my Manipura Chakra, in the solar plexus, was dim. The Manipura Chakra is the source of personal power and will power. So Leonie asked me to focus on that chakra in this way:
1) Visualize a yellow or golden symbol of power. (A scepter immediately sprang to mind for me.)
2) From a comfortable seated position, place your hands over your solar plexus (navel).
3) Take ten deep breaths focusing on your solar plexus and visualizing your power symbol there.
I did this every morning for about a month to encourage a feeling of being rooted in a place of personal power. (It really helped!)
Do you have any meditative techniques that help you stand in your own power? Mantras that ground you? Images that help you stay strong? Do tell in the comments below and contribute the giant pool of wisdom, now forming at Magpie Girl.
