It is not the power we seek so much as the overcoming of victimization – the ability to determine our own lives. For what greater responsibility than to allow the divine within the freedom of its unique unfolding”.
- Anodea Judith
The element of fire in the third chakra asks us to embody our own desire and will. This chakra is a gate to mental level of the energy field which reflects our way of thinking, positive or negative, about ourselves, others and the world that surrounds us.
Unfortunately, now days, power is mostly observed in the context of power over the other person, territory, nation and the whole planet earth. Inside of ourselves, we often continue this type of struggle where some parts of us continue to win, and other loose, which consequently brings us to more fragmentation.
Restructuring the way we look at and understand power, its way of manifesting into the world and our strength to be and stay individualized, is the challenge of the third chakra. What is needed is to enter into a new dynamic, new definition of power which will take us from struggle to transformation, from past to future, into something that makes us strong and inspired, without minimizing others.
The third chakra also marks the birth of the ego - the conscious realization of the self as the separate entity.
When this process was interrupted or was not finished during the developmental period, characteristics of masochist character structure develop: lack of self confidence, codependence, shame, high level of inner resistance, lethargy, lack of will and self defeating way of thinking, depression. We become confused about our capabilities - what I can and cannot do, what is the real and imposed need…the will of masochist child is thwarted and humiliated.
What you can expect from workshop:
- meditations and exercises to encourage the work of the third chakra
- experientials were we will together, and yet on very personal way, explore our relationship with power and authority (inner and outer)
- releasing of trauma that caused deactivation of the will and autonomy (and obstructed the development of independent ego)
- opportunities to gain insight into difference between submission and surrender
- transpersonal work
