Includes: Solar Plexus Chakra Oil, Solar Plexus Card, Downloadable Meditation: Solar Plexus Activation by Heart Radiance
I am your Solar Plexus, your treasure centre of power and well-being. I attract prana from around the universe back to you. I connect you to your personal power and identity, as well as your digestive health and metabolism (by digesting your life). When I am balanced you will feel confident, self-motivated, purposeful, secure, empowered and healthy. When I am out of balance you may suffer from low self-esteem, be indecisive or have issues around control. When you are unable to digest your emotions this can physically affect your digestion, pancreas, liver and colon function. If any of these are out of balance, working with me will help to bring back harmony. I am located 3 finger widths above your belly button.
Ingredients: Organinc Sweet Almond Oil, Tocopherol, Organic Lime, Cardamom and Organic Coriander.
The Sanskrit word for the Solar Plexus is Manipura. Manipura comes from the word mani meaning gem, and pura or puri meaning city. It is linked with the element of Fire and activating that fire within. Fire ignites the light of consciousness. It is said that when we feel love and happiness - they have first been born in the Solar Plexus and have risen up to the Heart Chakra.
When this chakra is out of balance it affects our emotions - doubting and distrusting people in our lives, worrying about what others think - always looking for approval from others - which can lead to unhealthy attachments toward them. By activating this chakra, we are showing that we are willing to look at how power works in our lives, our individuality and who we are. When it's working well we feel secure and empowered. By focusing on our self-worth, we can let go of being dependent on other's opinions of us and can create a purposeful life.
The essential oils of Lime, Cardamom and Coriander support in balancing the Solar Plexus.
A combination of practices helps to unblock / balance the chakra. Meditating is one way that I know personally is very effective. I apply the chakra oil on the area of my body above my belly button before I begin. I have attached a meditation that you can download which accompanies the oil to balance and unblock this chakra.
Alternatively, you can use the oil in conjunction with a mantra. There are many mantras that can be used and I have reproduced some of these on the card that goes with this oil. It fits easily into the back of a wallet. When I'm working on a chakra, I take the card with me and quietly recite some of them in my mind when I have some time. Repeating these throughout the day and week creates new thought patterns.
Sound and vibrations play an essential role in healing the chakras. The mantra or Bija Seed Mantra associated with the Manipura Chakra is “RAM”. Chanting this mantra activates the fire element within aiding in the regulation of your digestive system and directing the supply of nutrients around your body.
As it is associated with the fire element, spending time in the sun will be transforming, healing and balancing. Exercise or walk outside, spend time in the garden, or meditate in the early morning for at least 20-30 minutes. If it's raining and you can't get outside visualise the sun in your meditation, feel it's light, warmth and power filling the cells of your body.
