Solar Plexus Chakra Healing

Description

The Solar Plexus Chakra, also known as the Manipura Chakra, is the third chakra in the 7 chakra system.  This energy center governs your ability to be confident, assertive, and make decisions from a place of inner wisdom.  It is also the key to unlocking your personal power and building a strong sense of self.  However, when this chakra is out of balance, you may experience feelings of insecurity, self-doubt, and a lack of direction in life.  This healing helps you to tap into your inner power once again.  The element of fire ignites the light of consciousness that motivates you to strive towards success and good health.  Spending too much time on the third chakra can cause burn out.  However, not developing it can leave you feeling weak, fearful, and inert.  The love and happiness that you feel in our hearts actually originate in the third chakra and rise from there to the Heart Chakra.  The Solar Plexus Chakra plays a key role as your intellectual center.  It’s where your ability to think critically and analyze situations lives.  You’re equipped with a hearty dose of intellect, yet without a balanced Solar Plexus Chakra, you might find yourself struggling to properly think things through.  An imbalance here allows your base instincts, governed by the lower chakras like the Rootand Sacral Chakra, to overshadow your rational thoughts.  This can lead to overwhelming feelings of fear and insecurity, skewing your perceptions. For instance, if you’re feeling insecure and upset, your judgment gets clouded, and you tend to see and hear only what you want, rather than the reality of the situation.  A shortage of the element and samana prana can cause the chakra to move too fast.  The opposite occurs when it does not refresh and over-accumulates.  This causes an imbalance in the energy system.  When the Solar Plexus Chakra is blocked or imbalanced, it can manifest as various physical and emotional issues.  As the third chakra is located in the upper abdomen, a blockage or imbalance can often cause digestive issues.  The physical symptoms of a Solar Plexus Chakra blockage may include: Indigestion, Irritable bowel syndrome, Eating disorders, Excessive weight gain, Ulcers, Diabetes, Issues with the pancreas, liver, and colon, Heartburn.  Sensitive or bleeding gums.  A Solar Plexus Chakra blockage or imbalance can also cause emotional problems, such as: Over analysis (paralysis by analysis), Uncontrolled anger and irritation, Low self-confidence, Doubt and mistrust towards the people in your life, Insecurity and low self-esteem, Need for continuous confirmation and approval from others, Unhealthy attachments to people in your life, Rigid and controlling behavior, Self-victimizing mentality, Lack of direction and motivation , and Difficulty setting boundaries.  Healing for your Solar Plexus Chakra.  When this energy center is open and balanced, you feel confident, powerful, and ready to take on any challenge that comes your way.
