Day 3: Ignite Your Inner Fire | Solar Plexus – Manipura

Welcome to day three of your chakra journey.

Today we meet the solar plexus chakra,

Known in Sanskrit as Manipura,

The city of jewels.

This chakra is your inner fire,

Your source of confidence,

Self-worth and the courage to take up space.

When this chakra is open you feel empowered,

Decisive and centered in your personal truth.

When blocked you may feel powerless,

Self-doubting or overly controlling.

Let's begin by connecting to your breath and your inner fire.

Find a comfortable seat or lie on your back.

Close your eyes gently.

Place one hand on your belly and one on your heart.

Take a deep breath in through the nose.

Exhale slowly through the mouth.

Inhale,

Feel your belly rise.

Exhale,

Feel it fall.

Begin to sense warmth gathering at the center of your body,

Right above the navel.

Now imagine a glowing yellow Sun seated at the center of your being.

With each breath in,

This Sun grows brighter.

With each breath out,

It radiates energy outward,

Filling your entire torso.

This Sun is your fire,

Your Shakti,

Your willpower,

Your radiant light.

Let it expand through your chest,

Your back,

Your arms.

Allow the warmth to dissolve any lingering doubts or heaviness.

Feel the heat,

Not overwhelming but empowering.

You are the keeper of this flame.

If you're seated,

Try gently pressing your feet into the ground or engaging your core.

If lying down,

Imagine standing tall,

Spine aligned,

Heart forward,

Eyes lifted.

Feel your strength,

Quiet,

Steady,

Unwavering.

I will now speak affirmations.

You can say them aloud or in your mind.

I am space without apology.

I trust myself to make aligned choices.

I am the fire and the fire is me.

Now see yourself walking through life with your shoulders back,

Chest open,

Grounded,

Ungraceful.

See yourself speaking clearly,

Making bold decisions,

Expressing yourself with confidence.

What does that version of you feel like?

Can you step into their energy,

Even now,

Even a little?

Breathe that into your body.

Begin to return to the rhythm of your breath.

Inhale deeply into your belly.

Exhale through the mouth with a soft thigh.

Place both hands over your solar plexus,

Just above your navel.

Whisper to yourself.

I am powerful.

I am enough.

I shine from within.

Take a moment of gratitude for this fire inside you,

Your light.

Carry it with you today.

Namaste
