Your personal power and gut instincts

Getting connected
To connect with the will power energy enables you to reflect on what you are good at and what you know about yourself that you are proud of. You are conscious of your personal power, your integrity and your ability to stand up for yourself. This chakra is about your self-esteem, self-respect and self-discipline.

Main Features
This chakra is the foundation of our self-understanding - the relationship we have with ouselves and how we stand on our own two feet and take care of ourselves. With each choice we make we either get taken over by the illusions of joy and happiness offered by the physical world, or we invest energy in the power of the spirit inside ourselves.

Symbolic Issues
We gain considerable spiritual energy from how we feel about ourselves. It determines the quality of our lives and our capacity to succeed. This is the essence of the inside-out dimension of change. Real chaage is about the choices we make now. The bond we form with ourselves, which in many ways is the most critical of life's challenges. If we do not know how to love ourselves, we will be incapable of making decisions that serve our health, our happiness and our success.
