Located in the solar plexus, the center of the stomach just below the rib cage, lies the amazing Manipura chakra center. This is where things like bravery, courage, and trust reside. It is represented by the color yellow, and closely associated with the sun energy.
When the energy in your sacral chakra is unstable or blocked, different ailments can begin occurring in your body and life.
Imbalances can lead to:
*Fear of expressing one's emotions
*Lack of honesty, bravery, trust
*Anger and Aggression
*Insecurity, fear of rejection, and low self-esteem
*Physical digestive problems
*Fatigue and Lack of Energy
If you experience any of these things going on, there are several approaches to opening and vibrating your sacral chakra energy at a higher level.
*Wear yellow and resonate with note E on a musical scale
*Spend time in the sun
*Do self-hypnosis and meditation to release negative thought patterns and beliefs
*Eat whole grains, yellow colored fruits, and ginger/turmeric
*Practice yoga poses like the boat pose and warrior pose
A healthy solar plexus chakra indicates the courage to face your fears and act accordingly. You feel safe to express your emotions and have plenty of self-confidence. Strong intuition and the ability to follow it are signs of a healthy Manipura.
If you are just gettin started in this work, I recommend beginning a short daily mediation to begin tapping into the energy and reality of your energetic body. Check out some of the resources below for further guidance.
