HW: Chakra #3 – The Solar Plexus Chakra
The third chakra is the solar plexus which is located in the upper stomach. This chakra is also called Manipura and the color associated with it is yellow. The solar plexus chakra is characterized by the expression of will, personal power and mental abilities.
The solar plexus is mobilized when one asserts themselves in the world, whether it is physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. A solar plexus sequence is designed to be challenging both physically and mentally. From my many years of running cross country and several races, a solar plexus sequence is going to force one to dig deep to get to the end. In other words, you have to be strong mentally in order to “fit through” the pain physically. One type of strength cannot happen without the other in a solar plexus sequence. This type of challenging sequence is where one can really find out what they are made of.
This chakra is important for so many reasons. The first it helps build physical strength. In this type of sequence you will feel the muscles burn, therefore is burning physical strength. The second is to build mental strength. You feel the burning in the muscles and you have to stay positive and feed yourself encouraging thoughts to fight through the pain. Whether you tell yourself you are strong and can make it or that you are weak and cannot make it, you are correct. In a solar plexus sequence this really comes true and if you feed yourself the positive encouragement you will make it to the end, therefore building mental strength. In addition, this chakra will improve self-esteem and confidence. Knowing the sequence was difficult, yet you made it through will make you feel good about yourself, and the more you do it the more the self-esteem will evolve into self-belief. You will start believing you can accomplish the hard sequences and situations in life.
This one is important in my life right now. Over the past year, I have run into some medical issues and was told I have to take it easy while working out for several months. The diagnosis was incorrect and it still affects my self-esteem and confidence. There are many situations such as running or the solar plexus sequence video that I have done with the thought of this is going to be too much for me. It is important for me to get through these difficult challenges to prove to myself that I am strong enough and I will be able to complete it. Clearing the solar plexus chakra is definitely something I need to continuously focus on at this time in my life to build strength and confidence in myself.
