Chakra Balancing - Solar Plexus Chakra


CHAKRA BALANCING

Solar Plexus Chakra – (Manipura) – Yellow
This is the third of the seven major chakras and associated with the element Fire. Think of the solar plexus chakra as the sun in your body. This chakra is positioned over one of the main regions of the body that reacts to stress. This plexus of nerves can often be felt as a tight knot if you press the area just below the sternum. If you feel discomfort, there is some stress or blockage. To heal this you might try to remove yourself from the source of stress; improve your health; begin a routine of meditation and chakra ‘nourishment’ or seek the help of a healer.

A few main characteristics are:
Colour – Yellow
Key Issues – Power, Fear, Anxiety and Introversion.
Physical Location – Between the navel and the bottom of the sternum.
Inner Aspect – Opinion and Personal power.
Physical action – Digestion
Mental action – Power
Emotional action – Expansiveness
Spiritual action – Growth


Mental States and the solar plexus chakra
Negative – Arrogant, hypocritical, incompetent, inflexible, concerned with power and fame, unable to finish things, underlyingly selfish.
Positive – Determined and intelligent, a leader showing warmth and humour, but cool, calm and assertive when required, positive self esteem.

Solar plexus imbalances will leave you feeling extremely edgy and depleted in energy. You may become depressed, insecure and fearful. If this continues, the problems can become imprinted and habitual. However when you overcome this, and you chakra is balanced, depression turns to joy, insecurity turns to the experience of love, and fearfulness turns into confidence in any situation.



Good crystals for this chakra are Citrine, Tigers Eye, Lemon Quartz and Malachite.

Good essential oils that have a sympathetic resonance with this chakra are, Clary sage, Juniper and Geranium.

You can also wear more yellow clothes or eat more yellow foods, like banana, lemons or yellow capsicum.
