4 Ways to Build Your Personal Power

Many of us are taught that when a person is powerful they are overbearing, strong-minded or forceful. We’ve been given a false belief that power is a bad thing. When in truth, with a balanced personal power, we are neither overbearing nor meek.
As we gain a clear sense of our strength and the impact we can have on others, this actually enables us to be more sensitive. Personal power is what allows us to work on behalf of our dreams and desires. It’s a tool that brings us the realization that we are worthy and deserve to be heard. In addition, exploring our personal power lets us give more of the respect we know that we deserve to the people around us. There is no reason to be afraid or ashamed of fully owning your power.

1. One way to evaluate your sense of power is through your chakra energy system. Your solar plexus is the chakra known as the seat of our personal power. A simple way to evaluate this center is to breathe into this part of your body. Your solar plexus is located at the hollow space just below your ‘chest bone’ where your ribs end in the front. As you breathe in notice if you feel tight or anxious in this area. That can be an indication that you may not be fully expressing your power. This is also a place where we feel nervousness, apprehension, worry or fright.

2. A simple exercise can help you in expanding the area of the solar plexus with your breath. Begin by inhaling through your nose and visualize the breathe going to your solar plexus; let it sit there a moment. Exhale through your mouth and as you do so visualize any of that tension going out with that breathe. After a few breathes, visualize a bright yellow sunlight going into this part of your body.
As this warm settles in, allow it to melt away any tension, and feel the light soften any darkness or heaviness. Doing this exercise regularly can help to rejuvenate and restore much of your sense of power.

3. Another way to nurture your personal power is to honor your dreams and desires. When we begin to make definite plans to manifest them in the world this marvelous Law of Attraction starts creating them. Start by writing out a list of things you want, and be sure to think big. Next, choose one goal from the list and commit to bringing it to fruition. Then write the smaller tasks that you can work on daily. Most importantly, know that you deserve to have your dreams come true and that you have the power to bring them into your life.

4. See yourself managing your life & energy. You are the actor, writer, director and producer of your life. When an actor writes, directs and produces his own screen play the performance is authentic, genuine, poignant and heart-rending. As you begin to choose your own life dream your personal power will manifest in many beautiful ways.

When you know what you want in your life you automatically become more powerful. As you focus on your desires, wishes and intents you begin to attract them to you. The more positive you become, the more powerful you turn out to be. This powerful force builds upon itself bringing a stronger foundation to you. The Universal Law of Creation brings to you what you choose in ways that you never imagined. Remember we ask for what we want, the Universe begins to flow it to us, creating it for us, and as we participate in the Law of Allowing to receive, there is no limit to what we can be, do and have, ever!
