Chakra Healing & Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra is located below the breast bone. The color of this chakra is yellow. The parts of the body affected by this chakra are the muscles, skin, the large intestine, the stomach, the liver, the pancreas and other organs and glands in the region of the solar plexus. This is the chakra those of us with Fibromyalgia need to work on.

This chakra relates to our sense of sight and impaired vision. This chakra is concerned with our sense of power, control, freedom and mental activity.

Illnesses associated with this chakra are digestive difficulties, gas, food allergies, liver problems, diabetes, gall stones, muscle cramps and spasm, depression, and difficulty breathing. Excessive energy in this chakra causes people to be judgmental, workaholic, a perfectionist, overly intellectual, and emotionally cold. Deficient energy in this chakra causes people to be depressed, have a lack of confidence, worry about what others think, confused, have poor digestion, be afraid of being alone, jealous and mistrustful.

The negative archetype of the Solar Plexus Chakra is the Servant. The Servant archetype undervalues itself and does not honor its basic worth. The Servant is not as dysfunctional or disempowered as the Victim or the Martyr, but it represents someone who does a job well but who is neglected and receives little acknowledgement for what it does. The servant does not have a sense that it deserves better than what it receives in its life. As the Servant is ignored it finds itself lingering in the background. The Servant does not have enough of a sense of its esteem and worth to acknowledge itself and so is dependant on others to give it what it cannot give to itself. This archetype relinquishes its personal power and emotional needs in order to win acknowledgement and approval.

The healthy archetype of the Solar Plexus Chakra is the Warrior. This archtype lets us all the be hero or heroine in our own lives. We take control, harness our willpower and live from an empowered position in our work, relationships and in the world around us. The more we can give ourselves permission to feel good in the power of our own energy, the more personal power we accumulate in our lives. Our ability to stand up for ourselves is associated with this archetype.

Crystals to balance the Solar Plexus Chakra are Citrine, Gold Topaz, Amber, Tigers Eye, and Gold Calcite. These stones can be carried in a pocket, placed in the area of the Solar Plexus Chakra or made into an essence.

Imagine your Solar Plexus Chakra. The color of this chakra should be a beautiful, clear yellow. If you see any other color, remove it and imagine the chakra being filled with yellow energy. Once you are able to imagine the proper color filling this chakra, imagine it spinning in a clockwise direction. Spin it faster and faster as you fill it with yellow energy.

Use the ”Feelings Prayer’ to work on your feelings of being a martyr – the sense of helplessness, guilt, and any other emotions connected with this chakra.

Use these techniques to balance and heal your Sacral Chakra. Do the exercises daily. You may be surprised at the changes you experience.
