 | the solar plexus Power, Self-worth & Self-Confidence |
Power. If we don't have it we want it. If we have it, we may not handle it so well. And woven through it all are the continual undercurrents of insecurity and shame, victim and aggression.
This is one of the dominant themes for humanity today. Look at our politics, corporate shenanigans, and even the dynamics between men and women, parent and child. There is a continual dance of ego and power dynamics. Look at the amount of energy and money that goes into presenting the right 'face' to the world. Vast industries - fashion, celebrity, plastic surgery and a 1001 other ways we continually need to pump the leaky tire of our own self worth and the facade we present to others.
The opening of the 3rd chakra leads to a mature sense of self in which we have a presence, dignity and strength. There unfolds a sense of authenticity in which you discover the freedom and joy of knowing and expressing who you are without the need for outside validation. You hold a new sense of power and responsibility in your life and become more potent, dynamic and direct.
Our goals:
We deal with four interwoven themes in this module:
| * | Power - come into your power and empowerment |
| * | Self-worth - finding a new healthy sense of self-value |
| * | Identity - come out from false roles and into a sense of authentic identity |
| * | Being - Discover and come rest in the core sense of self |
Methods taught:
This is a dynamic and active module using high energy methods including psychodrama, role playing, confrontation work and bio-energetics, in addition to the usual method we employ of energy work and meditation.
Some of the issues we address:
| * | Self-judgment, shame and powerlessness |
| * | Aggression or victim patterns |
| * | Shyness and hiding |
