Healing the Solar Plexus Chakra With Reiki: Taking Action
This week we are stepping into the third chakra, the Solar Plexus. This chakra is greatly about individuation, and our place in the world. When we are balanced in this chakra, this manifests to be linked to others, without losing ourselves in one other, and remaining conscious of our ultimate aloneness.
The Solar Plexus chakra is situated just below the ribs Solar Plexus chakra, and relates to the organs regarding digestion - the liver, the stomach, and the pancreas. Conditions that are often related to a next chakra imbalance are digestive issues, allergies, crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome and diabetes.
Once we are imbalanced in this chakra, we are able to often feel as though we are victims in our personal lives, powerless to improve our situation and stuck. (I think this emotional stuckness is usually reflected in the physical stuckness of elimination which could lead to the diseases talked about earlier related to digestion.) The root emotion below all of this is frequently unexpressed anger. Along with manifesting with regards to powerlessness (which is of a deficiency in this chakra) it can also manifest as an excess: being power-hungry, aggressive and controlling others.
The balanced position in this chakra is one where we have a wholesome, balanced sense of our personal worth, we're confident in ourselves and our abilities, we're disciplined, without it veering into over control, and we could be spontaneous and playful.
In terms of healing this chakra, it's often my sense that it is about bringing movement to the stagnant, stuck energy. Shaking and free form dancing are excellent because of this; other exercise such as for example running or swimming can also be good, but there is something about the unpredictability and spontaneity of shaking and free-form dancing that I feel is particularly good here.
A physical cleanse may also be good. From the doing a 5 day herbs cleanse, which involved drinking herbal "shakes" 4 or 5 times each day, and not eating. I felt afterwards physically lighter - as although the cleanse had allowed me to release a "layer" of negativity that I had been carrying round with me. (If you're interested in this, it's good to speak with the suppliers of this kind of products before using them, particularly when you yourself have an existing health condition.)
Energy healing and the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) may also be helpful here. Sound healing, chakra balancing and colour healing can help to balance the Solar Plexus chakra. More specifically, an inner child healing or a relationship cord healing will help the person heal the big event or events which generated the imbalance in this chakra. Often, this could be the time from 18 months to 4 years (including the terrible twos!) - when the little one is beginning to feel separate from the mother, and yet needs the assurance that she continues to be there. Often, the kid can feel that the parents will impose on him; this will lead to unexpressed anger. An internal child healing could be a safe place expressing what it wasn't possible to state at the time.
Similarly, EFT is beneficial for going back once again to a childhood event that remains in the power field, and is influencing our behaviour still, and letting go of it.
Finally, much like the other chakras, chakra balancing mediations are helpful. The balanced colour of the Solar Plexus chakra is really a bright yellow. And the balanced sound is "OOOH."
So, the following post will transfer to the territory of the heart chakra - the bridge between the lower three chakras we have already viewed, and the higher three chakras (throat, third eye and crown.)
