 Do you love to leap in and save a situation? Do you hate being told what to do? Do you either dread being put in a position of responsibility or love being in charge? Do you get caught in power plays?
One of the most difficult issues many of us face is our relationship with our own power, yet if you've come in with gifts to share it's essential to find a healthy way to express it. You cannot broadcast your unique frequency effectively if you're not clear where your authority comes from and who you're meant to be serving.
Blasts from the Past Many of us have experienced lifetimes where power has been misused, especially by those inflicting terrible cruelty in the name of divine authority. Sometimes we've been the victim, sometimes the perpetrator. We need to experience both to get the whole picture.
These cellular memories can make us nervous of following inner promptings to play a bigger game. Is it really guidance or is it ego? Is it self-serving or genuinely in service to the greater good? What will happen if you put your head above the parapet this time? Such doubts can block us from stepping up to do the work we're meant to do.
The Effects of Denial When we deny our power we may sit on the sidelines, perhaps judging others who dare to step into the limelight. We may become passive-aggressive: say 'yes' but carry on doing what we think is best or undermine someone's authority by criticising them, putting them on the spot or using others such as colleagues, partners or children as pawns in a power play where they're forced to pick sides.
 Your Inner Bully This scenario may also be an internal war with your inner bully or saboteur. Maybe whenever you pick up the reins an inner voice begins to undermine your path to success?
Perhaps you press ahead using your will-power, determined to be in control, deaf to your emotional needs. This can show up in compulsions such as obsessively tidying or exercising, needing to count every calorie or do things in a certain order.
Do You Armour Up? One way to cope with power, especially if you're very sensitive, is to put on armour and take command, cutting off from your feelings and refusing to listen to feedback, even that of your own heart, riding roughshod over others to get the job done.
Avoidance Strategies If you try to avoid owning your power the universe may send you a tyrannical boss, a dominant parent, an over-involved mother-in-law or a controlling partner. Any dynamic which requires you to step up or lose your own authority. These relationships are the teachers in our lives - they provide the friction which turn us from diamonds in the rough to shining jewels.
