Sexuality, Prosperity

and Personal Power

Most people struggle with three issues: sexuality, prosperity and personal power. These issues are associated with the three lower chakras: sex with the root chakra, power with the spleen chakra, and prosperity with the solar plexus. Our fear of sex and power has caused teachings that encourage shutting down these chakras. As we become more spiritual, these teachings say that we don’t need worldly involvement. However, if these chakras do not function in balance and harmony with the upper chakras, we have no foundation to support our spiritual selfhood. The root chakra and the crown chakra flow in a circular motion when the kundalini, or sacred serpent, is raised. Creative energy rises from the root to the crown and returns to the root in a receive/give/receive cycle. Sexual prosperity is achieved by receiving and giving in balance.

Sexuality
Sex is the strongest creative force in the universe. As it was originally created, it is a magnetic force – positive and negative, male and female – to manifest loving creation in the Earth plane.

Positive polarity (desire) is masculine, outgoing, assertive and capable of impregnating negative polarity (imagination), which is feminine, receptive, nurturing and fertile. When imagination and desire are brought together, they create beauty, love, art, music, harmony and children of the body as well as the mind.

To heal our sexuality, we must now, in this moment, commit ourselves to paying attention in each moment to how we create – think, feel and manifest in our lives.

Sex is a creative power influencing everything in our lives, for we function in a male/female world. To deeply forgive our gender judgments assists in healing. We cannot judge male or female without judging ourselves, for each person has male and female polarities, both God and Goddess.

Here’s an exercise you can do:

Call forth your inner male and inner female to talk with you. Ask him how he is feeling and encourage him to speak freely. Allow her to talk about how she feels. They are part of you; however, if you wish to learn from them, be objective. Do not attempt to put words in their mouths. Ask them to speak to one another honestly and clearly. In doing this exercise you will learn a lot about your inner concepts of male and female. Remember, when we judge we are thrice accused by any judgment we make. When we heal our inner male and female, we truly achieve the sacred marriage that the fairy tales refer to. They never were about an outer union, but were allegories. Until the inner union is made, no outer union is satisfactory.

Prosperity

The solar plexus is the truth center of the body. You process your food and thoughts there. A thought that is not your truth, even if you like the idea of it, may not sit any better in your stomach than a bad piece of food. Judgments against “rich,” or neediness over being rich, can make you feel sick to your stomach.

As you take the word “rich” to your solar plexus, record on paper the judgments that come up against it. Do this exercise for one week. We are all taught inappropriate ideas against wealth and money, which creates confusion and anger over allowing in our lives the very things we are taught to want. “Money is the root of all evil” was originally “the love of money is the root of all evil.” Anything we put before God can blind us to our greater good.

People say, “I don’t want to be rich; I just want enough.” When we begin to realize that this is not a static universe, we understand that what is enough in this moment is not enough next week or next year. We must always be expanding our consciousness to manifest what we require in this moment and the next, literally remembering that the universe provides everything we require, and not one moment before.

Grant yourself permission to be rich on your own terms. One of the greatest sources of anger people have is a belief that they must be rich on someone else’s terms or measure up to some elusive standard the world has set. Remember, even the rich have issues with “rich,” for it is a relative state of mind. On the seventh day of keeping your journal, examine your judgments, forgive them (let them go), burn the paper they are written on and then say out loud, “I am rich!” Feel this in your solar plexus. Does it feel good? Can you live it? If not, take another seven days to forgive more deeply. When you can say, “I am rich,” and it feels true, then and only then can you begin to allow it to express fully in your life.

Only when you feel something is true will you allow it into your life. Statements such as “I think I am allowing,” “I thought I did better than that,” and “I think I want to be rich” are statements made from the mind without connection to the feeling or truth center. When we are afraid to feel or have gotten out of touch with our feelings, we believe something outside of us can influence the outcome of our lives.

Personal Power

Everyone wants power — to be in charge, to say how we run our own life. Yet there is concern over, even fear of power. We want to do the right thing, but there is confusion over what is right. Personal power is imbued with clarity, patience and the courage to live one’s own personal truth.

Living personal truth is an internal understanding based on love. There are many people who wrap judgment in a truth skin and hurl it at others: “My truth is you did this and you did that.” It contaminates the space with judgments and accusations that cause defense and leads to conflict. Conflict leads to separation and disintegration of relationships.

The illusion that we can obtain something from another by giving our power away is a fallacy. If we give our power away, it may appear that the other is stronger, but only because giving power away weakens ourselves. Many people have lower back pain (issues of being unsupported). If we consider that the lower back reflects the navel chakra, we get the picture – no power, no support.

Truth and love need no accusations. Often others may not agree with our personal understanding, and that is a test of personal power – to stand by what we believe, even if we stand alone. Truth feels different from conflict in the body.

The seat of power in the human body is in the area of the navel – the splenic chakra. If this chakra is out of balance the emotions run amuck, life feels out of order, and prosperity does not seem to flow well. Here is a simple exercise that may help you to find this center:

Move your attention from your head to the area of your navel. With your inner eye look into this area and see the light within. Perhaps you will notice little lines of light going out from this area. Each line represents a place where you have given your power away at some time, in this life or another. Visualize all the lines of light returning to you as you call your power back. You may even feel fullness in your stomach because you have not been powerful in a long time. Sit quietly and feel your power so that if you are in danger of giving it away again, you will be aware and keep your power intact.
