Energize The Solar Plexus Chakra







Energize the Solar Plexus Chakra


The Solar Plexus chakra is linked to our ego (or emotions) which reacts to thoughts of worry, anxiety, excitement or fear. Located just above the navel, this chakra influences the integrity of our skin, digestive organs, stomach, pancreas, liver and endocrine glands. What follows are energy techniques designed to charge the Solar Plexus chakra.








Instructions


1. Sit in a comfortable position and center yourself. Visualize energy being pulled up from the earth through your spine and spreading throughout your body. Next picture a beam of healing energy flowing down your head and through your body. When you feel the calm flow of energy, proceed to the next step.


2. Picture yourself in a beautiful field where the sun's rays bring healing warmth to your body. Focus on the Solar Plexus chakra and imagine a golden ball of sunlight filling the area and energizing your whole body. Allow the nurturing light to go wherever you may feel pain or sickness. Continue this exercise for 10 to 20 minutes noting any changes that you feel.


3. Stimulate the chakra points in your hands and feet. With your palms facing up gently apply pressure to the first metacarpal bone located under your thumb (midway up your thenar eminence) and begin massaging in a clockwise motion. Repeat this procedure with each foot locating the point where the cuneiform bone meets the navicular bone (middle of the sole).


4. Practice your breathing. Sit in a comfortable position and concentrate on your natural breathing rhythm for about 5 minutes to quiet your mind. When you are ready, send the mental command "Get Out!" to anything negative that you are holding in your Solar Plexus chakra. See your negative emotions being carried away as you forcefully exhale. Repeat until all unwanted emotions are cleared from your body.


5. Try the "Aw" mantra exercise. Find a comfortable position and begin to intone the Aw mantra (pronounce as in "core"). When you are out of breath, inhale deeply and repeat the mantra finding a tone that resonates in the Solar Plexus chakra.
