The yarn I use here is from the Isle of Skye, and it is dyed yellow-gold by the meadowsweet that grows there--the color of Manipura, the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra, the chakra of self-confidence.

I find that I cannot tap into my own personal power unless I am at peace with myself. Peace and power are intertwined within us, and though they seem to be, they are not opposed to one another. A peaceful cup of tea can bring heat to your solar plexus, stimulating the third chakra and awakening the power within you.
