The Solar Plexus Chakkra
What
do you think of when you see the color yellow? The noonday sun, caution,
summertime, bananas. The color yellow generally appears near the head in one’s
aura. It is indicative of high intelligence and quick, clear thinking. A muddy
yellow in the aura indicates someone whose thinking has become distorted or
unclear. This distortion of the intelligence can be caused by drugs, mental
illness or general malaise.
This
chakkra is the connecting point between the physical and the spiritual. It is
where we feel our intuition in the physical body. This is why we have a ‘gut
reaction’. When this chakkra is out of balance we experience various problems
with our bowels, gall bladder or stomach area. We are unable to ‘digest’ our situation
or lessons.
The
Solar Plexus is the seat of our light and demands that we be true to our
Selves. Our Solar Plexus warns us when we stray from our paths and when we are
in danger. When this chakkra is balanced we feel self-confident and strong. The
Solar Plexus Chakkra gives us the strength to stay the course and the ability
to make good decisions regardless of what is occurring around us. When it’s out
of balance we tend to repeat mistakes and make decisions that don’t support our
greater good.
So what
can we do about it?
The
simplest step is to add the color yellow to your environment and/or wardrobe.
Where do you have fuzzy boundaries? Decide to make them clear and
stick to your decision. Accept compliments. Look in the mirror and admire yourself
– physically, mentally etc.
Who or
what intimidates you? Hold your hands over your Solar Plexus and imagine golden
energy emanating from the area. Imagine them before you. Take a deep breathe in
and force the air out in a grunt pushing them away from you. Do this several
times to expand your energy field.
Laugh
at what frightens you. Laughter will totally take the wind out of the sails of
what frightens you.
Make a
list of what you believe about yourself – I am a … Then look at it and turn all
the negative statements into positive affirmations. I.E. I am a victim changes
to I am strong. Then say the affirmations out loud – three times each every
morning until you feel it.
Sit quietly and breathe deeply.
Pull white light energy through the top of your head down through your body.
Draw green Earth energy up through your feet and into the rest of your body.
Feel the energies as they course through you, cleansing, balancing and leaving
a protective shield.
Your hands are in front of you,
held flat and together [prayer position]. Slowly separate them, creating a ball
of golden energy between them. Feel the energy pulsating in your hands.
Slowly press the ball into your
Solar Plexus. Allow the energy to spread through you. See yourself with a
golden glow. Laugh if you feel the urge.
Sit with this awhile.
Slowly retract the white light
and green Earth energies from your body, leaving yourself glowing. Give thanks for the grounding and life energy
given by the Earth. See yourself with a soft golden-white glow. Feel your
power. Slowly feel your body and run your hands from the top of your head to
the bottom of your feet. Place your palms firmly on the ground. Feel the love
and the gratitude of the Earth and for the Earth.
Continue
to do this meditation daily until the Solar Plexus chakkra is strong and you
feel confident and secure – ready to face whatever shall be placed in your
path.
