Solar Plexus Chakra

Solar Plexus Chakra
Self-worth, Self-esteem, Confidence, Personal Power, Freedom of Choice (p. 61) "The third energy center is the Solar Plexus Chakra. It sits over the stomach and the nerve ganglia under the diaphragm. It filters energy into our vital organs so that they can break down nutrients for digestion. This happens on the physical level with food and on the mental level with ideas. This center is directly related to self-value, a primary quality in our relationships with others and the world around us. If we fail to honor ourselves and know that we are worthy simply because we exist, our sense of personal identity is weak. Consequently this chakra deals with self-esteem, confidence, and freedom of choice. It reflects how we see ourselves and exercise our innate power. The Solar Plexus Chakra is ruled by the element of fire. This is the energy of passion, which affects how we see the world. It controls our basic instincts in relationship to events and people."

The Solar Plexus quickens when we anchor our personal identity in the abiding nature of the self. This challenges the external labels we use to identify ourselves, which limit who we truly are. If we are identified in a certain way and we maintain a certain image that people can approve, respect, or accept, we live a life based upon maintaining that image and avoid dealing with our spiritual nature, our true self. Forming wholesome attitudes around selfhood, freedom of choice, personal power and confidence stems from connecting with our innate self of worth. We are value itself, and there is nothing we need to do to prove our worth. Once we realize we are worthy, simply because we exist, we free our life force and liberate energy for living.

Positive Attitudes

Honoring the self allows a wealth of respect, kindness and goodness to come our way. When we acknowledge the wealth of our being, we will seek out situations and people who honor us as individuals and affirm our worth. When we value ourselves, others will have no choice but to do the same and treat us with kindness and respect. When we say yes to who we are, people will either drop out of our lives or act respectfully. Cultivating a sense of worth may feel unfamiliar at first. Begin by making small, incremental shifts in how you perceive yourself. Give this time to grow and develop. Allow the truth of your experience to keep you balanced so that you become neither inflated and bigger than you really are nor deflated, unworthy, and undervalued.

Affirmations

    Mars

    Main principle: to energize, activate and direct. Mars is exceedingly hot and dry (choleric) by nature which qualifys it as a malefic. The heat creates disturbance and anger and the dryness creates distinctions by which ideologies can further animosities and keep opposites apart. Mars is a very masculine planet. Its main purpose is survival instinct. It signifies war, violence, danger, actions and decisions.

  • Sun

    Sun

    Main principle: to radiate, to blast or to push outward, profusion. The effect here is that wherever the Sun is, it tends to create attention or shines a spotlight. The reason for this is fairly obvious: it is the brightest object in the sky and is hard to miss. According to aristotelean principles, the Sun is exceedingly hot and dry: choleric. The heat creates activity and the dryness makes distinctions. This is a very masculine planet and is symbolic of spirit, intent, will and determination.
