Solar Plexus Exercise & How It'll Help Boost Your Intuition
The Solar Plexus Chakra
“Manipura” - Solar Plexus
What is the Solar Plexus Chakra?
The solar plexus sits just below the diaphragm and is located in the gastric plexus (about 7cm above and below the navel). This chakra is associated with our emotions and is closely connected to our digestive system. This chakra represents our personal power, self-esteem, and social image, in addition to the ability to manifest our desires. The solar plexus is a very strong psychic center and houses our intuition. For those who practice psychic work, it is crucial to keep this energy center clear in order to maintain a strong psychic channel. Energetic cords are almost always found in this chakra as well (cords are energetic attachments [think umbilical cords] to two or more people connecting energy bodies). It is essential to cleanse this chakra often and protect it because of its ability to pick up energetic and emotional debris from other people, along with our day to day situations at work, social life, trauma, etc.
Solar Plexus Exercise:
If you want to become more in tune with your solar plexus chakra or strengthen your ability to connect with it you can practice exercises on how you FEEL. It is that simple. Being able to decipher a message that your body is trying to tell you can go a long way as it will bring more awareness to your life. Our bodies naturally tend to sense something before it is about to occur (that “gut feeling"), and this has a lot to do with our solar plexus chakra. However, how often are we truly listening to the message we are receiving?
This exercise will not only help strengthen your awareness of the solar plexus chakra but also boost your intuition. The psychic abilities clairsentience and claircognizance also occur in the solar plexus chakra, so doing this exercise can help strengthen those psychic muscles.
Exercise: Focus on a ball of energy coming in from the crown of your head, moving down your body, and stopping right below your diaphragm. Take 3 deeps breaths and focus on the energy you are currently feeling in your solar plexus center. Remember the chakras are like vortexes and the solar plexus chakra is opened in front and the back. The front of the solar plexus represents the life we are creating and our current desires (present/future/conscious self), while the backside stands for our belief system, as well as the past and unconscious self.
After you focus on feeling what the energy is like in your solar plexus I want you to think of 3 things that make you feel good. You can think of them one at a time. What does it feel like to be excited? What happens when you are receiving good news? Does the energy move up into your chest? Do you feel a temperature change? Focus on the sensations you are feeling, and write down your experience if you want.
When you are ready, I would like you to then focus on something that doesn’t make you feel good. Now, what does the energy feel like? Does it move in another direction? Does it feel hot or heavy? What does bad news feel like to you? You can write down your experience if you feel called to do so.
To close, you can envision light coming in from the back of the solar plexus into the front. Picture it diminishing any beliefs that hold you back from reaching your true potential. Take 3 deep breaths one more time to ground yourself and come back to the present moment. You can close with a gratitude prayer if you’d like.
