Feeling a bit out of sorts lately? Perhaps you're overwhelmed by choices, or maybe it's the opposite—you can't seem to switch off and relax. If any of this resonates, it might be time to explore your solar plexus chakra and learn how to bring it into balance.
Chakras, the ancient energy system from India, consist of thousands of energy points throughout our bodies, but it's the main seven that capture most people's attention. These start from the base of the spine and extend to the top of the head. Today, let’s focus on the solar plexus or Manipura chakra, which means "lustrous gem" in Sanskrit. This chakra is your center of personal power, self-confidence, and identity.
When your solar plexus chakra is underactive, it’s all too easy to succumb to feelings of shame and inadequacy. You might stop yourself before starting a new project, haunted by the fear of imperfection, or become passive and avoidant, perhaps even feeling resentful towards others. On the flip side, an overstimulated solar plexus chakra can turn you into a workaholic, constantly seeking productivity and control, and frequently leading to burnout.
So, what does a balanced solar plexus look like? Imagine being able to tackle right-sized challenges, taking steady steps towards your goals without the shadow of perfectionism. A balanced solar plexus chakra also involves understanding the value of community, readily asking for help when needed, and establishing strong personal boundaries.
Recognizing the impact of chakras on our lives offers a holistic perspective on healing. Issues like past traumas may reside energetically within our bodies, influencing our current state. By rebalancing our chakras, we channel energy from overactive areas to those that need more, effectively moderating our internal temperatures.
