WHAT IS THE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA AND HOW TO USE IT

 The solar plexus chakra is the third of the seven major chakras in the human body. It is the center of personal power and is responsible for our self-respect and fulfillment. Therefore, it is so important that her work is not disturbed. Otherwise, we will be in for a lot of trouble.

What is the solar plexus chakra responsible for?

We have already written about how important the work of the root chakra is . Today we will talk about the solar plexus chakra. In Sanskrit it is called Manipura; located in the abdomen above the navel, and its identifying color is yellow.

The solar plexus chakra is responsible for the stomach, metabolism and digestion. Therefore, the responsibility for the emotional brain of the intestine and the emotions stored in it also falls on this energy center. In addition, the chakra governs our determination, self-confidence and motivation. It also helps you find your purpose in life.

How to understand that it is blocked?

When the solar plexus chakra is in balance, a person not only exudes confidence, but also feels motivated. He knows what to strive for and is not afraid to take action. On the contrary, when the balance is out of balance, you may suffer from low self-esteem, as well as experience difficulties with decision-making and responsibility. You may fall into a “victim” position and feel insecure. But the imbalance of the solar plexus can also manifest itself in the physical body. For example, in fatigue, overeating , overweight and problems with the stomach and digestive system.

How to work it out?

If you feel that you have similar signs, then it is worth working through the solar plexus chakra. Psychotherapy can help with this. Or rather, healing from the traumas of the past. Indeed, many of them are stored in the body and continue to influence the way a person thinks and behaves, even if everything that happened to him was a very long time ago. For example, he was brought up in a cruel way as a child. Unfortunately, these moments have not disappeared from his memory. And in order to start living a full life, he needs to look his injuries in the eye.

Esoteric practices can also help restore the work of the solar chakra. For example, affirmations or incense . Aromatherapy can awaken in us a sense of personal power. To do this, you need to burn incense or essential oils (saffron, musk and sandalwood).

Yoga is another powerful tool for working with the solar plexus chakra. For example, the warrior, lion, and seated spinal twist poses work well. And for those who are familiar with both yoga and chakras, we are attaching a video instruction on working out the third energy center. Enjoy!
