This is a meditation for balancing your third chakra,
Your solar plexus.
Meditating on your third chakra allows you to engage and anchor in your power center.
The element of this chakra,
This vital energy center in your body,
Is fire,
So balancing this center activates your sense of power,
Your ability to share your soul's purpose with the world.
With it comes a sense of worthiness,
Knowing fully that you are at choice in every moment and that you are solidly trusting your connection with God.
This Manipura chakra,
As it is known in Sanskrit,
Mani meaning gem and pura meaning city,
Literally translates to city of jewels,
And it is associated with the golden yellow color.
When this Manipura chakra is balanced,
It is like having your very own treasure center of power and well-being radiating from the center of your torso.
It is your solar plexus,
This center that is responsible for regulating your kidneys,
Stomach,
Liver,
Spleen,
Gallbladder,
And the lumbar vertebrae.
With this meditation,
You will tune in to this golden inner sphere,
Fine-tuning your sense of power and tapping into your divine guidance,
The divine wisdom that is always available to you.
With this meditation,
You can deeply sense and anchor in your worthiness,
Deepening in self-acceptance and activating your ability to be assertive and to share naturally from your own inner sense of power and connection with God.
So begin to relax and perhaps sit up straight if that is comfortable for you,
But get into a position where the energy can flow freely within your body.
Opening this sacred field,
Begin to breathe in,
Holding a bit on the inhale,
And breathe out,
Extending and holding,
Pausing on the exhale.
Begin to draw into your imagination a white golden sun radiating light above your head.
As you breathe in and out,
Begin to draw a ray of this golden light down into your body to the area of your solar plexus,
Right at the center,
At your navel center.
Notice as this ray of light begins to circulate,
White golden energy circulating in a wheel-like fashion within your solar plexus.
Now begin to rest your awareness in this third chakra,
Watching this circulating ray of light,
This yellow ray of golden light,
And become aware of the spaciousness within this center.
Notice and sense any energy that you feel here,
If there is tension or if any thoughts come to mind,
Just observe,
Notice,
Sense.
Not judging,
Just witnessing.
Begin to visualize this inner center with this circulating golden light as if it were a city of jewels.
The gems in your city of jewels are inner jewels,
These treasures,
And these treasures are your self-acceptance,
Your deep worthiness,
Your sense of connection with God,
Your sense of connection with God,
Your jewel of divine guidance,
Your inner source,
Your inner power,
Your soul's purpose,
Your power and strength to carry out your purpose,
A gem of deep connection with spirit,
A gem of knowing that spirit is your source of power,
A jewel of strength,
A jewel of inner wisdom,
And a deep self-love.
Allow yourself to focus upon these gems,
These treasures,
And to see them placed securely in that ray of circulating golden light.
Now that you are connected to this inner city of jewels,
Begin to focus on feeling and raising your emotions into a sense of joy and well-being,
Allowing your breath to connect in this moment,
Noticing and knowing that you are deeply connected to God,
That the wisdom of spirit flows through you as you are deeply sourced in the divine.
Spend a few moments allowing this circulation of radiant golden light to permeate this power center in your solar plexus as you generate feelings of joy and well-being and gratitude.
Rest and allow this saturation of joy.
Draw to mind a symbol that represents your inner power and your belief in your inner strength.
See this symbol vibrating and radiating within the light in your solar plexus center.
Know that as you go about your day,
You can simply draw to mind this symbol and know that you are in touch deeply connected with your inner source of power,
With God,
Trusting in your divine guidance.
Now begin to return your awareness to present time,
To your present surroundings,
Gently allowing your breath to guide you.
You can begin to release this third chakra,
Manipura meditation,
Allowing yourself to begin some gentle movement and opening your eyes when you are ready.
