Welcome my name is Abigail Morrissey Reardon from Set On Shine Wellness.
Today I will introduce you to the solar plexus chakra and will give you some background information and context.
Then I will lead you through a guided meditation to bring the solar plexus chakra into balance.
Manipura or the solar plexus chakra is the third chakra and it is associated with self-esteem,
Competence and willpower.
Manipura means illustrious gem in Sanskrit.
The Manipura chakra is located in the area around the navel.
It begins two inches above the navel and goes up to the sternum.
It is the core of your identity and personality.
The element associated with Manipura is fire.
This chakra channels energy to the organs in charge of digestion and purification including the stomach,
Pancreas,
Liver,
Gallbladder,
Spleen,
Adrenals,
Lumbar vertebrae and digestive system.
Just as the chakra is in charge of movement and digestion,
It is in charge of transforming your thoughts into action.
The color associated with the solar plexus chakra is yellow.
