Imbalances in the Solar Plexus Chakra:

Possible symptoms of an imbalance of the solar plexus chakra are trouble with digestion, narcissism or low self esteem, eating disorders, trouble making decisions, anger issues, and lack of purpose.

The solar plexus chakra is the “make it happen” chakra. Stoke your inner fire by setting goals for yourself and keeping your big picture plan in mind when making decisions. Activities like making a dream board or vision board can also help this chakra. Write realistic to-do lists with items that you can check off each day. Core exercises and mindful eating habits also help keep this chakra’s flame glowing bright!

💛

Yoga for the solar plexus chakra includes core strengthening and twists. Some yoga poses that help to stimulate and balance the solar plexus chakra are:

Navasana: Boat Pose
Bakasana: Crane/Crow Pose
Ardha Matseyendrasana: Half Lord of the Fishes Pose
Utthita Chaturanga Dandasana: Plank Pose
Abdominal exercises such as Forrest Yoga Elbow to Knee
Virabhadrasana I & II: Warrior I & II

💛

Pranayama such as Kapala Bhati can stoke the flames of the third chakra.

Kapalabhati is a fast, rhythmic breath that can be done by pumping the solar plexus in order to forcefully exhale. The inhalation happens naturally so the focus is on the exhale and the belly pumping in and up. For beginners, start with three sets of 30 exhales with a full breath in between sets.

💛

Foods that balance the solar plexus chakra include foods yellow in color and foods that aid digestion and help replenish Agni or digestive fire.

Fruits such as lemons, bananas, and pineapples.
Vegetables such as yellow squash, corn, yellow pepper, and onion.
Complex carbs and foods high in fiber such as brown rice, oats, quinoa, farro, sprouted grain, and couscous.

💛

Meditate with crystals, such as:

Yellow Topaz
Tiger’s Eye
Fool’s Gold
Golden Yellow Labradorite

I love working with the chakras during reiki treatments!
💜
The seven chakras are the main energy centers of the body. When we speak about unblocking the chakras, we are referring to the idea that when all of our chakras are open, energy can flow freely through them, and harmony exists between mind, body, and spirit.
💙
In coming posts, I'll be sharing the characteristics of the seven main chakras; how to tell when any of them are blocked; and how to unblock each one using mantras, yoga poses, REIKI, and more.

Remind yourself daily that there is no way to happiness: rather, happiness is the way. ~ Wayne Dyer

An article I wrote about reiki and energy healing:

Reiki: Enhancing Well-Being with Energy Healing Reiki is a technique that aids the body in releasing stress and tension by creating deep relaxation, thereby promoting healing and health. Reiki healing is a technique for transmitting life force energy through the hands of a practitioner into the receiver’s energy system.

Our emotional system is as much part of our survival as our immune system and our nervous system are. ~ Gabor Maté

The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth, dwelling deeply in the present moment and feeling truly alive. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Your life is as good as your mindset.

THE FIELD OF HEALING

Nobody has ever healed anyone.

A true healer simply remains fully present as the storm of healing rages, providing a safe field in which unfamiliar and intense energies can be felt, bound-up emotions can be released, and we can come out of time together, out of the drama and chaos of My Life, and breathe into our bodies, fall into our own being, reset, recharge, simplify, rest.

Healing is not a destination, nor a special power in the hands of a few. Healing means recontacting That which is already whole, beyond the healer and the healed - our true nature, simple and beautiful and ever-present.

In this field of healing, we can truly meet.
