The Solar Plexus chakra spins energy in your abdomen just above your belly button all the way to your sternum. Also known as the Manipura Chakra, it is the color yellow or gold and is associated with fire. It provides your source of personal power, self esteem, transformation, and warrior energy.

When not in balance you may feel stomach pain, digestive issues, weight gain (especially in the stomach area), experience anxiety or be quick to anger. You may be indecisive or feel unworthy.

Ways to balance this energy:

Raise your body temperature with more vigorous exercise:
Sun Salutations connect with fiery energy
Warrior poses give your strength
Boat pose targets your core

Learn how to Strengthen Your Digestive Fire (Your Agni)

Get really clear on your goals and desires. What are the details for achieving them?

Chant the sound “RAM”, which vibrates deep into the awakening of this chakra.

Responsibly Burn incense and ethically sourced sage or other herbs. Try a fire ceremony!

If you’re into crystals, pull out your biggest Tiger’s Eye and bring it along with you today.

Say to yourself “I stand in my personal power. I am strong, powerful, and confident. I am aligned with my purpose. I am worthy just as I am.”

On this Self Care Sunday, I invite you to channel your inner fire, connect with your “gut feeling,” and feel empowered by your own fierceness.
