Before we get into the meditation to deepen your connection to your solar plexus,
Let's explore exactly what this third chakra is all about.
The third chakra,
The solar plexus,
Is located right around your belly button,
A little above it and a little below your sternum.
It is our energy center for personal power,
For our sense of self,
Our ego,
And how and what we express ourself and control our passions and impulses.
Our solar plexus is essentially our gut instinct.
Finding yourself a comfortable position,
A place where you can lie and be relaxed,
But also alert and in control of where your awareness takes place today.
Soften the muscles in your face,
Relax your shoulders down away from your ears,
And drop your jaw.
Soften your belly.
Don't hold it in or make it small.
Let it relax and begin to take a deep breath in through your nose,
Expanding all the way into your belly,
And open your mouth and sigh it out.
Taking another deep breath in and open the mouth and sigh it out.
Now we're going to seal the lips together and begin to breathe in and out of your nose.
Feeling the rhythm in this breath while keeping this slow,
Deep breathing going.
Breathing deep into your belly and with every out breath,
Press the air down deep into your core.
Today we are focusing on the solar plexus,
The energy center that lies in your belly.
This center holds our personalities,
Passions,
Pleasures,
And creativity.
Bringing your awareness to this energy center,
Start to imagine you're radiating yellow bright golden light from this space.
This space holds our truest self,
Something this world likes to try and take from us,
Our true selves.
Ourself can be messy and our passions and pleasures aren't always graceful or pretty,
But they are us.
Taking a deep inhale and as you exhale,
Begin to build fire in your belly.
Feel this heat radiating throughout your body,
Using your breath to fuel this fire.
As you inhale,
Draw confidence from the earth.
As you exhale,
Release any judgment that you hold.
On the next inhale,
Call in the abundance of your true nature.
And as you exhale,
Release the shame in who you believe you are.
This affirmation for our solar plexus is I am fire.
As you inhale,
Receive to yourself,
I am.
And as you exhale,
Fire.
Inhale,
I am.
And exhale,
Fire.
Continue on your own,
Writing this into your narrative.
I am fire.
I am fire.
I am fire.
Now imagine your truest self and bring this image into your mind's eye.
What does she look like?
What is she wearing?
What is she doing?
Where is she living?
How does she speak?
What does she say?
Who is she with?
And how does she express herself?
Imagine this image in your mind with glorious,
Beautiful detail.
Let the energy from your solar plexus fill you up and soften every muscle in your body.
And taking a deep breath in through your nose,
Holding it,
And opening your mouth,
Sighing it out.
Begin to bring your awareness back into this room,
Letting your breath even out to a natural breathing rhythm.
Begin to wiggle your body,
Move your hands,
Toes,
Fingers,
And legs,
And allowing your eyes to open,
Allowing yourself to shine through in this most magical experience of being you,
Your fullness,
All of who you are,
And allowing taking up space to be the best thing that you can do for yourself today.
Let the energy from your solar plexus fill you up and open,
Letting your breath even
