The third Chakra is known as the Solar Plexus or Manipura in
Sanskrit and is a masculine chakra which projects out the world how we are
feeling with the energy flowing counter clockwise. If you watch a speaker addressing the crowd, a
rock star or a successful business person they all have that inner confidence
that demands attention. The solar plexus is the element of fire to give passion
and drive to achieving your goals and to have a sense of purpose in your life.
Do you know what your path is in life and where you are
working towards? Once on that path are you fully committed to achieving what it
is you desire or can you be easily distracted? Growing up we are taught values
and beliefs about the world and ourselves …who we are, how we should behave but
sometimes it is important to have the strength to break away from conditioning
and live the life we choose rather than the one that has been planned out for
us by others as we are not living for ourselves then but somebody else
perception of how our reality should be which does not necessarily match our
own.
Balanced and healthy solar plexus chakra:
proud of your achievements, know how to balance a healthy ego as
opposed a dominant one, confident,
leader, strong will power, not afraid of challenges, living with integrity,
clear on purpose.
Blocked
and closed sacral chakra: No sense of purpose begin things but
don’t complete them, easily led by others, give away your power, low self-worth
and sense of self, unconfident, poor boundaries, trouble sticking to plans, no
clear purpose or direction, no setting goals ,living space is messy and un
organised, not developing yourself, no control over will power.
Overly open/active chakra: opinionated,
dismissive of others thoughts and ideas, think you are always right, so
focussed on what you want through work and achievement everything else gets
neglected.
How to re balance the solar plexus chakra: form new habits,
start with something simple then build upon it, define who you are as a person
and what your personal goals and aspirations are then focus on them, steer away
from negative habits and make necessary changes, challenge yourself publicity
post your goals on social networks it’s a great motivator to been held
accountable will bring out best in you.
Society can dictate to us that we should be humble and not
be overly expressive about our achievements for the fear that it may cause
upset, jealousy or concern in others but why is this? As a result we may over
time have suppressed our achievements and desires for fear of criticism from
others but this is so damaging. Having a healthy and balanced ego is essential
for our own personal confidence and sense of self, we should be proud of our
achievements especially if we have worked hard to attain them. Learn to tune into
who you are and not who somebody else is, search for validation within yourself
you will never find it within others.
