Half of Humanity has the Solar Plexus (blue in the image above) defined and therefore has Emotional Authority. So even if you don’t have Emotional Authority, probably about half of the people in your life do.
The Solar Plexus is the newest energy center and the most influential of all the Authorities. If you have your Solar Plexus defined, this will always be your Authority, even if you also have the Sacral/Spleen/Ego defined. *Please note that this is general, surface level information. The Solar Plexus is the newest & most complex energy center, way more than can be covered in an email.
This is why Ra said that for the defined Solar Plexus, there is “No truth in the Now.”
For those without Emotional Definition, it’s important to understand that your Undefined Solar Plexus is amplifying the Emotional energy that those Beings in your life with Emotional Definition are processing via their Solar Plexus.
1. Give us Time, we are not spontaneous/fast creatures. As the Solar Plexus is processing so much emotional material in the future, “there is no truth for us in the now” and so the answer to every inquiry/opportunity will always be No first. Even though you might get a Sacral or Splenic “Yes/No” right away, we are not designed like that. We need time to sit in our wave and feel through the awareness that comes with the different Highs & Lows before we can come to clarity on a decision. How long this process takes is unique to each person and each situation. If you want to hang out, give us advanced notice so we have time to feel if we want to or not.
2. Please do not rush us, or expect us to be “on time.” As we have seen, the Solar Plexus operates in a different time frequency than “normal” as it is out in the future. It is also the center of revolution, romance, poetry, passion, desire, and spirituality. Emotional Beings are endowed with the Pleasure Principle. We are here to savor the experience of life, in all its emotionally erotic beauty & pain. When you have the patience to honor our Emotional Authority, the energy we bring to any situation, collaboration, etc. is warm, juicy, magnetic & powerful. If you rush us, and we feel constricted, unable to access the pleasure of arriving in our own time, we will bring that crunchy, restricted energy, and everyone will experience resistance & frustration.
3. Give us space. A correct Emotional Being will never do anything they don’t feel like doing. I know it can sound obnoxious “I don’t feel like it” (especially when we’re inundated with the programming to “suck it up” and “push through”) but if you really want the awareness and juicy magnetic energy that an Emotional Being can bring, then you’ll want nothing less than that from them. Please allow us to reschedule, postpone, or even cancel plans if we are in an Emotional Low, or simply do not have the Emotional Bandwidth to bring that good energy into your space. As the Solar Plexus is the center that is leading our collective mutation, we all ultimately have to surrender to the timing of the Solar Plexus.
4. Be persistent. As the answer to every question, invitation, inquiry, or opportunity is always first a No for us, if you really want our Emotional energy in your life, project, or collaboration, don’t just take our initial rejection at face value. Keep coming back and asking us again & again. The more time we have to sit with a decision, the more clarity we come to around the timing of the project and if it is right for us (or not). For example, my friend Marni asked me to speak on her podcast back in October. I was interested but never booked the interview. Then she asked again in December (same thing happened). I finally booked the convo for early June, but then she had to move it to late June. By the time we finally did it, it was the most perfect timing! (click here to listen).
5. Be patient with us. Again, as the Solar Plexus is processing so much emotional energy out in the future, the Highs & Lows we experience are not always directly connected to anything happening in our lives now. If we drop into a Low and become withdrawn, have emotional outbursts, seem melancholy or depressed, don’t try to get us to engage or try to analyze, explain, or understand (or worst blame something for) our Low. It’s just something we are moving through, and the most helpful thing you can do is hold space (maybe support us in taking care of our physical bodies while the Low moves through, but don’t be pushy), and wait for us to come out on the other side with the awareness we received from that experience.
