Solar plexus: what is it and how does the third chakra work |

Also called manipura, the chakra solar plexus it is golden yellow like the sun and represents our center of strength and vitality.

O solar plexus it is located in the abdominal cavity, above the navel and close to the stomach. It is through this energy center that we actively relate to the world and the people around us. Through it, our emotional energy flows outward.

Solar plexus chakra: features

the chakra solar plexus it is directly linked to organs related to the digestive system: stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas, gallbladder, vegetative nervous system. It concerns our appetite and the way we digest from food in general to emotional issues.

While the digestive system consumes and digests material impressions, the brain, referred to here as consciousness, digests and consumes the immaterial impressions of the world. The seat of our personality is in the third chakra. It is in him that our desires and all our sympathies and antipathies live. You know that person you don’t sympathize with?

This emotion registers in this Energy Center. If the relationship is conflicting, it can even change the functioning of the digestive system, directly affecting an organ. Continuous disturbances can disrupt the structure so much that the physical body does not resist and becomes ill. It is in this vital consciousness that we end up creating diseases.

Solar plexus chakra in harmony

The harmonious functioning of this 3rd energy vortex brings us a sense of peace, acceptance and wholeness of ourselves. It provides harmony with life and the position we have in it.

That way, you are still able to respect other people’s feelings and peculiarities equally.

You end up having the ability to observe situations from less emotional angles, generating more security and tranquility for you and everyone around you.

imbalanced solar plexus chakra

The disharmonious functioning of the solar plexus, on the other hand, emphasizes control. You end up wanting to control everything according to your desires and thoughts.

He gets irritated easily and externalizes that portion of anger that was previously undigested, completely out of control.

It can also cause a restlessness, by the search for a satisfaction that is lacking inside, generating compulsions.

Hypofunctioning makes the person feel down and out of spirits. Everything seems like an obstacle that prevents the fulfillment of your desires. All this sensation causes you fear, and may even develop depression or panic.

How to improve the functioning of the 3rd chakra?

To make it easier, initially we should do an energy cleaning with a good professional, in order to recover the vortex (spiral flow movements).

Once this is done, we must begin a path of detailed self-observation to perceive how our negative thoughts and feelings can be detonating our vital energy center.

How is our anger and our love for life? This is a good point to ask. Other questions to ponder:

How have I been feeling about…(this situation or person)?Have I been feeling confident in my projects?Am I very emotional?Am I still stuck with what I heard from so-and-so?What could be stuck in my throat in this situation…? What’s been turning my life sour? What am I hungry for? What feelings do I feed with excess food/internet/shopping? Do I eat too much to occupy more space in society?

This should be a cautious and loving process, as getting in touch with our emotions can also be challenging. In these cases, you can look for a professional to help you organize your ideas and feelings.

Balancing the solar plexus chakra

Meditation/mindfulness is really a great chakra tuning tool. It can – and should – always be used, as well as the physical exercises of Yoga. Doing energy therapies frequently can help immensely in the process of maturing emotions.

Keeping the mind under observation and control is also an excellent exercise in choosing the right thoughts. Sunbathing, preferably at the beginning of the day, combined with meditation, is energizing and helps to recover from the vortex.

Another technique that is recommended during and after the investigation is Ho’oponopono: taking responsibility, forgiving and releasing always helps with emotional issues, bringing health to your manipura or 3rd chakra.

Based on the development of my work “Virtues with Conscience”, I suggest that you invest in “self-responsibility” to work this chakra in your relationship with the world around you and its challenges.

This exercise of observation and reframing situations usually produces the necessary energy to boost your solar plexus and much more.

Understanding the chakras better

We have seven chakras that are the energy centers, In them, the conscience or natural wisdom of life perceives and performs two functions at the same time: it represents the organ itself, as well as our emotions related to it.

Thus, we develop an awareness of what is right in our lives and what is not. The chakra shows us our unconscious in action.

All these centers are distributed near and along the spine. Its shape resembles a satellite dish and its perception like a radar.

They perceive the world and are impacted by events and people around us. They also function as veritable power plants for energy, emotions and thoughts.

They are fundamental in regulating our body, providing harmony and balance between the physical, emotional and mental, making the connection between the material body and the subjective world.

Therefore, each of the seven chakras holds all the emotions we experience, which immediately affects the physical and energetic results of our daily lives.

A stressful day, with a lot of anger, negatively affects our energy field, the chakras and the physical body.

Now that you have this precious information, it is up to you what you will do with it.

Nothing said here replaces going to the doctor or getting treatments. Quite the contrary, recovering your chakra can speed up any of these processes.

I sincerely hope that you will walk a path of conscience with good health and joy. May your investigations bring you wonderful achievements.

Namaste! My Being recognizes your Being in all its splendor!
