Solar Plexus Meditation With Breathwork

In this meditation, we focus on activating the Manipura chakra (solar plexus) through intentional breathing and Surya Mudra, also known as the Gesture of the Sun. Surya Mudra is performed by gently folding the ring finger toward the base of the thumb and lightly pressing it with the thumb. This gesture stimulates the fire element, increasing internal heat, energy, and vitality.

Surya Mudra directs energy to the solar plexus, activating and energizing this center of personal power and will. Acting like a lock, it prevents your energy from dissipating. By containing and focusing this energy, it concentrates it in the solar plexus, allowing you to tap into your inner power more effectively. When combined with mindful breathing, this mudra deepens your connection to your strength, helps release self-doubt, and restores balance to the body’s energy system.

Transcript

Settle into a comfortable seated position,

Allowing your legs to rest naturally in a way that feels stable and grounding.

Place your hands in your lap,

Palms facing up.

And when you're ready,

Gently close your eyes and take this moment to draw your awareness inward.

Take a deep breath in through your nose,

Feeling your ribs expand.

Pause for a moment,

Holding that breath.

Exhale slowly through your mouth,

Releasing all tension.

Allow the muscles around your eyes and forehead to soften.

Relax your jaw.

And let your shoulders become heavy.

For Surya Mudra,

Fold your ring fingers down and gently press them with your thumbs,

Keeping your other fingers extended.

This mudra acts as a lock,

Preserving your energy and preventing it from flowing outward.

Feel the warmth from the connection of your thumbs and ring fingers,

Grounding you in the present moment.

Bring your awareness to your solar plexus,

Located just above your navel.

This chakra is the center of personal power,

Confidence and will.

It influences your self-esteem and how you assert yourself in the world.

Just like fire needs air to burn,

Your breath is the catalyst that awakens your inner light.

Imagine a warm,

Golden light at the center of your solar plexus,

Representing your vitality and strength.

From time to time,

Life's challenges and our own self-doubt may dim this light,

But you always have the power to renew it with your intention and your breath.

As you inhale through your nose,

Visualize your light growing brighter.

On your exhale,

Consciously release any self-doubt or fear that may be dimming this energy,

Creating more space for your solar plexus chakra to glow.

I will remain silent for the next two minutes,

Giving you the space to continue breathing deeply and mindfully.

With your next inhale,

Spread the light you've created through your legs,

Heart space and head.

Strengthening your body and mind.

Gently release your mudra,

Allowing your hands to rest softly on your solar plexus as you send a final wave of energy to this center.

When you're ready,

Gently bring your awareness back to the space around you and slowly open your eyes.

Take a moment to acknowledge this energy and carry it with you as you move through your day with intention and strength.
