Power is a complicated structure. With dimensions relating to both the yin and yang, those different aspects of power ultimately support and amplify each other. If we want to feel more powerful and reinforce that feeling for those around us, it starts with self-care.

How we take care of ourselves is at the root of our power of presence and the energy that we show up with in the world to help amplify the power of others.
