Your Solar Plexus Chakra
Hello Dear Friends-
You are powerful! This chakra, the Solar Plexus, is responsible for your personal power, your self-acceptance, your strength, courage, and your authenticity. When this chakra is open and in harmony, you feel centered in who you are and know your self-worth. You are able to cultivate your personal power in healthy and helpful ways. The balance between your spiritual and physical self feels balanced and you can have tolerance and acceptance of self and others. Most importantly, you feel in touch with your inner self and have inner peace, calmness, and harmony in your world. This chakra is found between the belly button and the sternum and lines up almost perfectly with the cluster of the nerves of the same name.
“The energetic shift taking place in this chakra is opening the space for us to all play on an even playing field in an equitable and honoring manner. We are learning to own our own power, to be accountable for our choices and actions, and to allow others to own their power and accountability…As we learn to take accountability for ourselves and support others in being accountable for themselves, we create an opportunity to come into partnership with each other to collaborate and create equanimity and respect and create the experience of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.“ (Carol Tuttle, The Modern Chakra Guide, p.131).
The Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) can be associated with Sunday. “Ending the week with empowerment… it’s a day of reflection, understanding personal power, and preparing for the week ahead with confidence and determination.” (ByHealingthroughVisions.com)
