Solar Plexus Activity #4: Now we're going to anchor the psychological work with symbolic anchors to keep the energy active in our daily environment. We will create a focal point for our personal power as a way of visualizing the fire in our bellies. Keep a symbolic stone on your desk or in your pocket to represent this center. A yellow gemstone like Topaz is excellent for channeling Solar Plexus energy, willpower, and intention. Alternatively, a stone like Dalmatian Jasper can be used to break down psychological barriers and encourage a sense of playfulness and determination while you work. If you don't own an appropriate gem and have no means of getting one, grab a blank page and draw or color a brilliant, multi-layered sun using yellows, golds, and bright oranges. Inside the center of the sun, write the new name or identity you claimed in Activity #2. When you feel a moment of self-doubt or a craving driven by a feeling of powerlessness, physically place your hand over your stomach (the Solar Plexus), look at your visual anchor, and take three sharp, energizing breaths.
The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.

Kept seeing the date 3/21 after being betrayed by a family member on 3/21 and stumbled on this verse. As well as the recognition that 3/21 is around the spring equinox - signaling change. My husband and I interpret it as this family member was not able to handle our light because it was revealing them for who they are and they weren’t ready to be truthful or exposed- so they self sabotaged and ran away.

Solar Plexus Activity #3: The Solar Plexus requires us to step out of passivity and into agency. This means taking control of something in your life that you have been avoiding. We will be tackling one delayed responsibility. Pick one administrative or life task that has been hanging over your head. It should be something that requires you to assert yourself or organize your future—like updating a resume, making a difficult phone call, paying a specific bill, or officially planning a future project you’ve been putting off. Break it down into three actionable steps and execute step one immediately. Notice how the heat of taking action burns away the heavy, stagnant feeling of dread. You are reclaiming your power over your environment!
Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.
