Therapy: Solar Plexus Chakra

                                                          Solar Plexus Chakra: I Do  

The Solar Plexus Chakra governs a person's self-esteem, confidence, strength, and willpower.

The Sanskrit word is MANIPURA.

The Solar Plexus Chakra is located about two inches above the naval.

The colour of this chakra is a sunny yellow.

When this chakra is out of balance, a loss of strength and/or a weakening of willpower may be experienced. A person with an imbalanced Solar Plexus Chakra can also experience digestive issues and fatigue.

When the Solar Plexus Chakra is in balance, a person has positive energy, confidence, emotional strength, and strong willpower.

Tai Chi is an effective way to help balance and heal this chakra.

Chanting the mantra, 'RAM' awakens the Solar Plexus Chakra.

Yoga poses that can help awaken and balance this chakra are Warrior pose, Full Boat Pose, Reverse Triangle pose, Cobra Pose and Plant pose.

Affirmations:

I accept myself fully.

I have the power to endure every challenge that comes my way.

I am a confident being.

I have strong willpower.

I believe in myself.

I trust my abilities.

Foods:

Yellow foods: Bananas, mangoes, yellow bell peppers, apricots, pineapple, yellow kiwi, yellow beets, yellow tomatoes, lemon, eggs, butter, cheese, melon and yellow corn.

Crystals:

Lemon quartz, honey calcite, yellow aventurine, amber, pyrite, yellow jade, and citrine.

It is important to note that all the seven chakras must be aligned and balanced, we cannot single out one chakra to bring harmony to one area of our lives. All the chakras are deeply connected and 'retuning' just one will not be of any benefit.
