Few people know what an important role the solar plexus area plays in our lives. The solar plexus chakra, or manipura, is responsible for it. It is thanks to her that a person gains strength and the ability to fulfill himself in life. This is the third chakra. It contains our desires and personal life energy.
Description
This chakra is located at the level of the solar plexus and is responsible not only for the spiritual and energy flows that enter the human body, but also ensures the correct functioning of many internal organs.
It is thanks to this chakra that a person gets the opportunity to control his desires and is endowed with the opportunity to realize his plans. In addition, it is also associated with we alth, which is also very important in our lives. But all this becomes possible if the solar plexus chakra is well enough open and functioning properly. When her work fails, the personbecomes nervous and unbalanced, feels anxious and obsessed with the idea of gaining unlimited power over other people and great we alth.
In order for the chakra in the solar plexus area to open well and work correctly, there are several ways. We will talk about them in more detail below.
Where is it?
Information about which chakra is located in the solar plexus is not widespread. More or less oriented in this matter are mainly people who are fond of astral energy states in relation to human life. The manipura chakra is an instrument of astral influence on the energy and physical essence of a person. It is a true center of will and an inexhaustible source of strength. To be able to work on it, you need to know where the solar plexus chakra is located. Its exact location is between the third and fifth vertebrae, four fingers above the navel. At the astral level, the third chakra is bright yellow.
Even from ancient times, the concept came to us that manipura is the most important energy center of a warrior. All combat training, especially those associated with oriental martial arts, strengthens the abdomen to the maximum and harmoniously develops the third chakra. In the place where the solar plexus chakra is located, a huge potential of strength and will accumulates. This is for warriors a real source of constant renewal of expended energy and strength. In addition, a developed chakra clears the mind and gives good coordination of movements.
Responsible for what?
To properly use the energy of manipura, you need to know what the solar plexus chakra is responsible for. Whenever we need to find the strength and courage in ourselves to do what we fear, it activates and gives energy for this. Even when you demonstrate a strong will or defend your opinion, manipura comes into play. When the level of accumulated energy is high, a person gains confidence, and his behavior becomes appropriate - a straight posture, a clear voice, a confident straight look. All this is a clear indicator of your inner strength and does not give anyone a reason to doubt your words.
So what is the solar plexus chakra responsible for if it is so important in a person's life? Manipura gives the ability to manage your thoughts and emotions, overcome fear and find rational solutions in the most difficult situations. The degree of development of the chakra manifests itself at a time when a person is subjected to difficult tests. The brightness of the yellow color of the third chakra indicates that it controls our intellect, develops creativity and he althy selfishness, clarity of thought and curiosity.
Functions
Very few people know which solar plexus chakra is responsible for the accumulation and assimilation of external energy, as well as its transformation into internal and even distribution throughout the human body. But it is Manipura that is endowed with such important functions, without which the work of the higher chakras will be blocked. This useful chakra is a kind of turbine, incessantlyprocessing the incoming energy and supplying it uninterruptedly to those directions and parts of the body for the functioning of which it is responsible. So, intuition belongs to the sphere of her responsibility, which is the sharper, the more developed the chakra is. The good work of the manipura allows us to feel the possible scenarios and choose the most optimal solutions. In fact, the solar plexus chakra acts as a kind of balancer for the energy shell of each person and ensures the stability of the entire energy system.
Incorrect operation of manipura
If it turns out that the work of the chakra is not effective enough or it is completely blocked, this immediately manifests itself in a person's behavior - he instantly feels a lack of personal strength and loss of confidence, anxiety and fear appear, a desire to manage and teach everyone. At the same time, problems begin to arise from scratch due to the discrepancy between one's own desires and emotions and the desires and emotions of others. All energy problems associated with the third chakra arise from the constant suppression of the will of the child by adults and remain with us for life if we do not find the courage to get rid of them.
In addition, the solar plexus chakra is closely related to the functioning of the digestive system. If there is an imbalance in any of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract - the stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, gallbladder or spleen, be sure that your third chakra is blocked. To make it work right again,you need to know some ways of healing and opening manipura. But at the same time, one should take into account the differences in the polarization of the female and male chakras. Sometimes the question arises why the solar plexus hurts in women. Their chakras are omnidirectional in contrast to the predominantly male chakras.
Product rejection and the third chakra
Since manipura regulates the functioning of the stomach and intestines, this may be due to the body's rejection of any of the many products that women use as sources of replenishment of internal energy. It is known that the male stomach extracts and processes energy from low-frequency and heavy foods, for example, meat and other simple and satisfying foods that easily turn into energy. And women's food, although lighter, but also very diverse - salads, yogurts, curds, sweets and other frivolous foods that saturate the female chakras with the necessary energy.
Techniques for developing the chakra
When the solar plexus chakra is blocked, life loses its meaning and becomes a chain of continuous disappointments. A sense of sacrifice and pessimistic moods appear, self-esteem and expectations are lowered, interest in oneself and others disappears. To regain the joy of life and self-confidence, it is necessary to develop the solar plexus chakra. Here are a few techniques that are very effective in healing a blocked chakra.
What to do when solar energy is blockedplexus? Here it is important to learn how to cultivate lost abilities in yourself, artificially instilling confidence and composure in yourself, pretending that you do not have fears and worries until the body gets used to these feelings and does not work in the right mode. Dress stricter, move more energetically, stand straight, clearly express your thoughts, do not avoid looking directly into the eyes of the interlocutor, smile more often and meditate - after a while you will be able to influence your chakra and engage in its serious restoration.
Visualization and meditation method
Get into a comfortable meditation position with your back straight. Breathe deeply and evenly, concentrating on the tip of your nose. Imagine that you are in nature, a pleasant soft sun is shining, filling your body with warmth and energy. Imagine that the flow of solar energy enters the body through the solar plexus chakra. If pain is hidden somewhere, mentally direct a flow of energy there, which will cleanse and heal the diseased organ. Visualize a golden ball appearing in the area of the solar plexus, from which golden rays emanate throughout the body. By the end of the exercise, try to feel the difference in your condition before and after it.
Method of meditation on fire
Relax with a straight spine, as in the previous exercise, just imagine yourself sitting by a large bright fire in a dark forest. The night is moonlit and clear, the fire crackles merrily and plays with flames. Feel the night silence of the forest and the energy of fire,filling your body with streams of life-giving energy. The big fire cleanses you of various fears and other obstacles on the path to happiness. Mentally imagine a sheet of paper on which you write all the negatives of your current life, pour out your resentment and anger, pain and disappointment on it - everything that does not allow you to develop harmoniously and positively. Mentally reread what you have written and throw the paper into the fire. When your list burns down, you will feel relieved and energized. Now you are free from filth and negativity and can direct your life in a different direction.
At the end of the meditation, it is recommended to make the same list of negatives in real time and burn it from any fire or burning candle.
Mantra exercise
To work with the mantra, it is necessary to conduct a preparatory exercise to curb negative emotions. We use breathing exercises for this:
- sit comfortably, straighten your back and focus mentally on the solar plexus;
- start breathing rhythmically - count to five and inhale, count to five and exhale;
- do the exercise for a couple of minutes, after which you need to convincingly say “go away” to the negative emotions on the exhale;
- repeat 10 times and listen to yourself - is the negative gone or not, if not, you can repeat it again, but you should not be too zealous - over time you will learn to get rid of the negative very quickly.
Ram mantra
Now you can start the exercise with the mantra "ram". How to do it right?The mantra "ram" is pronounced with resonance in the solar plexus. You can change it to the "oooh" mantra and see what works best for you.
Staying in the meditation posture, take a deep breath and chant “oh-oh-oh” or “raam” as you exhale, inhale again and chant the mantra. When exhaling, concentrate on the area of manipura. Repeat 10-15 times. When working with the “ram” mantra, you need to adhere to the following rule - as you exhale, sing the beginning of the “raaa” mantra, then close your lips tightly and say “mmm” into your nose. There should be certain vibrations at the location of the chakra. Mantras should be chanted for at least five minutes.
Use of yantra for manipura healing
Yantra is a picture, a mystical symbol used in meditation. When working with the chakra, manipura is either a swastika sign, symbolizing life, or a red triangle with the apex pointing down. It represents the number three and is a symbol of balance. Here the triangle means for Christians - the Holy Trinity, for Hindus - the gods Brahma (creator), Vishnu (protector) and Shiva (destroyer). The red triangle itself acts as fire.
Light a candle and put it in front of you, put the image of a yantra nearby. Focus on the flame of the candle and think of the fires of the earth and heaven. The essence of this exercise is that the Divine fire purifies the essence of a person, getting rid of negative qualities. Think of each lifetime as an opportunity for growth and the freedom to make decisions.
Focus on the yantra and visualizeyourself standing on the outer edge of the circle. The contemplation that the triangle is surrounded by flames that purify everything that passes through them. Pass through the flame and reach a new level of development by opening your manipura. At the end of the meditation, mentally attach one tongue to your inner fire in the chakra. Do this every day.
Conclusion
Whether your chakra needs healing and which method to choose for this is up to you. The main thing is to understand the functions of the solar plexus chakra and learn to control your desires. Remember that relative balance and balance of power are important in everything, then life will be calm and stable.
