What is the Solar Plexus Chakra and what does it govern?

 


What is the Solar Plexus Chakra and what does it govern? Hi Everyone, Have you ever wondered what the chakras are and what they do? Well now is your chance to find out with this guide. Please follow for more in-depth information and guidance to increase your knowledge and understanding . Here we focus on the Solar Plexus Chakra, otherwise known as Manipura. An in depth exploration of the chakras: Solar Plexus (Manipura) Location: just above the navel (3nd chakra) Colour: yellow Related organs/glands: liver, gall bladder, digestive system Stones and crystals: gold topaz, calcite, tigers eye, citrine Associated Planets: Sun and Mars chakra mantra: Ram Direction of movement counter clockwise Corresponding Element: fire Life Affirmations: ‘I am confident I can achieve anything I set my mind too ‘I enjoy setting personal goals and achieving success’ ‘I am aware of my personal power and always work towards my chosen goals ‘ ‘I am aware of my sensuality and am not afraid to embrace it ‘ Governing attributes: being fully aware of their sense of identity, self-realisation, leadership qualities, strong awareness of integrity and will power, highly productive. . The Solar Plexus or Manipura as it is known in Sanskrit is the third Chakra and is a masculine chakra as it projects energy outwards and is connected to the sacral chakra below. If you have ever seen a power full speaker, a musician or a successful business person they are prime examples of a healthy and open Solar plexus as they command attention from their innate inner confidence when speaking with others, and the element of fire in addition helps to give a sense of passion to whatever it is they are addressing. These are the people who know exactly what it is they want out of life and as a result of being highly focused and driven will often achieve exactly that, they are also excellent at leading and teaching others due to their strong sense of inner confidence . Signs of a healthy and balanced Solar Plexus Chakra are those who although are often successful do not develop an over active ego, they are confident leaders who live and act with integrity and know exactly what their goals in life are and how they will achieve them. Signs of a closed or blocked Solar Plexus Chakra are there is no sense of focus or purpose, they can be easily led and manipulated by others as they do not have strong and effective boundaries ,willpower or a sense of direction, and therefore often inhabit an unkempt home which is disorganised. Signs of an overly active or open Solar Plexus Chakra are: : Always feel their opinion is the right one and do not like to take advice from others, struggle with a work/life balance . Learning to re balance the Solar Plexus Chakra: Challenge yourself to set new goals and tell others to help raise motivation, do the necessary self-development to determine who you are and what you really want from life and stay away from negative people or situations.

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
