Taking Your Place

The throat is the 5th chakra, and is the second power chakra in our body. Many people say that their biggest fear is that of public speaking. Is this the fear of speaking or what the result may be? Is it really a fear of being ridiculed and attacked when we stand up and take our place?

We are in a crucial period in our evolution - an awakening is going on - and it is really important that those who hear the call step up and take their place.

If you feel called to lead, to be a pioneer, whether it is in your family, in a team or in your community, then reclaiming your power is essential. This doesn't mean to becoming aggressive or having to fight for it. Fighting only leads to a power struggle and even if you win it means that someone else loses and will in turn get revenge at some later date. Not a good idea!

If we felt overshadowed in our family by someone who dominated, who took up all the emotional, physical or psychological space and got the most attention, then its really hard to take our true place. Even if we move a long way away from our family they are always with us. We might not consciously think that someone took up too much space but it is still affecting us.

Ask Yourself: Are you afraid to shine for fear that you might be attacked if you do?

Are you holding back because you think by shining you will be more successful and wealthier than your father thus diminishing him? Making him feel small? Taking his place? Or have a better life than your mother ever dreamed of and in doing so incurring her jealousy?

Do you find you are put in situations where you feel you have to take over and then get bothered by feeling you are too important? As Marianne Williamson writes "There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you."

Do you feel resentful when someone takes over and invades your space?

This is why people move a long way away from their original family and a good reason why people keep a certain distance between those they love. There is a fear of going into sacrifice in meeting all their needs (whether spoken or not).

Do you long to be the centre of attention but then feel guilty when you get it?

Are you secretly jealous and get angry of others who seem to take the spotlight and dominate? However when the attention is on you, you shrink?

You are a star, you are meant to shine

The disappointment we feel, the sadness and heartbreaks of our lives reflect the lost bonding we had as a child. Bonding is when we feel connected and joined. Its a place of peace and centredness. And in that place there is no domination, but equality. In that place we are a star and others shine more brightly by being in our presence.

Marianne Williamson puts it so well. "And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

When we return to our centre we regain a balance in our lives between work and play. Our relationships become equal. When we are a star we join our friends, our team of other stars to become a constellation. And this is our true power. The world needs more constellations of stars.

I facilitate workshops which are focused on restoring us to our truth, that we are powerful beyond measure, that we are meant to shine, as children do.

I will explore all the places where we lost faith in ourselves and went off track and heal them with transformational centering processes. You'll learn some tools to take away and use in your everyday life to solve everyday relationship problems. There really is no time to lose.
