Solar Plexus
This is our center of pride, confidence and ego and where we seek approval. Low self confidence or arrogance are the extremes of this energy center. The solar plexus is where our personal power comes from. When we keep a secret it goes here. The fears that we store in this chakra are of being dishonored and poor personal boundaries can cause energy to leak from this space. This is a good place to build self respect. Here you define your personality that is not an identity of your tribe. This is where you hold your code of personal honor. Join my course to get more in depth discussion about this.
The organs that are influenced by this chakra are:
The abdomen, stomach, upper intestines, liver, gallbladder, kidney, pancreas, adrenal glands, spleen and the middle spine. Here is where you will find the beginnings of disease such as arthritis, gastric ulcers, colon problems, pancreatitis, diabetes, chronic indigestion, anorexia, bulimia, liver dysfunction, hepatitis, gallstones, hemorrhoids, varicose veins and adrenal dysfunction.
What to do to improve your Solar Plexus?
Spend time in the sun in early morning. Physical movement awakens and rejuvenates this area. tai chi, yoga and gardening is best. Slowing down and becoming acquainted with who you are and how you really feel is key to this chakra. An increase in energy and vitality and connection to self is helpful. When we are fit and healthy we can take action in our lives and our intentions are clearly focused. This is the place to claim your power and stand in it with no need to take power from someone else. To balance this chakra we must work on self esteem and respect and the ability to handle a crisis. We learn to care for ourselves and others. We mitigate the impact of criticism and rejection of ourselves and our physical appearance. We build a strong character.
