Introduction to the Chakras – Solar Plexus

We are moving up to the Solar Plexus Chakra, known in Sanskrit as Manipura. This is based around the naval and is closely related to will power. The other day when I was working with the Solar Plexus Chakra I imagined a large, golden yellow lion helping to give me courage.

This Chakra is linked to the fire element. I particularly resonate with it as when out of balance you can be fearful or lack confidence in your own abilities or have perfectionist tendencies. The physical areas of the body this Chakra relates to are the stomach and digestive system.

To help you tap into and work with this energy you can use:

*Lemon essential oils.

*Topaz, citrine and Malachite are crystals you may wish to work with to focus the energy.

*Repeat to yourself, ‘I am enough, I do enough, I can do anything.’

*As the colour is yellow you can imagine a glowing yellow ball between your naval and your spine, as I said earlier I pictured a courageous golden lion.

*To awaken the Solar Plexus Chakra chant ‘Ram’.

*Create the Solar Plexus Mudra by placing your hands between your heart and stomach, fingers stretched out long channelling the energy and the thumbs interlaced.
