Lynch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An issue of Rolling Stone magazine declared Lady Gaga goes minimalist.\u00a0They summed up their review of the pop sensation\u2019s video for her hit song, Edge of Glory, \u00a0as \u201cboring!\u201d Yes, boring, even though they describe the video in which she \u201cstruts in what looks like a dominatrix swimsuit.\u201d\u00a0 Rolling Stone says, \u201cIt\u2019s Gaga\u2019s tamest video to date; it\u2019s also her bravest. \u00a0For once in her life, she flirts with the edge of boring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wow, imagine that! Imagine being so fearlessly over-the-top outrageous on such a regular basis that performing in a \u201cdominatrix swimsuit\u201d gets called boring.\u00a0Seriously!\u00a0\u00a0Just as interesting, they seem to respect this toned down move as actually taking courage\u2026for her, that is.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s think about this for a minute, because this is what it looks like to carry incredible energetic power in your 3rd chakra!<\/p>\n<p>The negative vow we make at the 3rd chakra is to be small, invisible, to serve instead of lead, and never, NEVER seem self-focused by standing out too much and touting our own horn. So we have established Lady Gaga does NOT have this vow.\u00a0Just for a minute let\u2019s put aside any judgment you may have about how over-the-top she is\u2026and think about what that would be like.<\/p>\n<p>How crazy, cool and fun would that be to be THAT free?\u00a0To have that much courage to express yourself will absolutely feel like freedom.\u00a0To have relief from the vows and the fears about standing out and saying, \u201cI am a rock star in my mission!\u201d Doesn\u2019t that feel like incredible, intoxicating freedom?<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if we could borrow about an eighth of that\u2026even just an eighth\u2026and step into that freedom, self-expression and 3rd chakra power.\u00a0Oh yes, I will take an eighth, Gaga, and I won\u2019t waste it, I promise. I will use that fearless big energy and blast it into my mission! Pretty cool, right?<\/p>\n<p>Now imagine Rolling Stone or some other magazine calls you something\u2026dumb, ugly, boring, weird.\u00a0Something unkind.\u00a0Now what?\u00a0Third chakra strength means you DO NOT change or adjust who you are for ANYONE\u2019S opinion.\u00a0Do you think Gaga cares what they say?\u00a0Sure it might hurt, but she\u2019s NOT changing who she is and I am sure she does get over it!\u00a0WOW, intense huh?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s interesting to take our personal fears about being seen and criticized and blowing them up to a whole bigger scale \u2026to Gaga scale!\u00a0Puts things into a fun and interesting perspective!<\/p>\n<p>So my challenge to you this week is to take an eighth\u2026a Gaga eighth and carry it, live in, enjoy it and feel the freedom and powerfulness of it.\u00a0Give your third chakra the permission, maybe just for the day, to shine out like the sun from every pore in your body!\u00a0Be fearless, uniquely YOU and let it be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, it is not actually required that you wear a dominatrix swimsuit\u2014that part is optional!<br \/>\n***************<\/p>\n<p>Sign up for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.MargaretMLynch.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Margaret M.

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start &amp; Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3311"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3321,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3311\/revisions\/3321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
