How to Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra
Balancing your solar plexus chakra is all about embracing your inner strength and building self-confidence.
Reiki Healing
Reiki Healing has become one of our cherished methods for harmonizing not just the solar plexus chakra but all of our chakras. It leaves us feeling revitalized and ready to embrace life’s endless opportunities.
During a reiki session with Stiil, if the solar plexus chakra feels out of balance, we employ reiki techniques alongside guided meditation to restore equilibrium. The goal is to foster a deep sense of personal power & empower you to thrive within & around you.
Connect to Fire: Solar Plexus Chakra Element: Fire
The solar plexus chakra’s element is fire, so engage in activities that ignite this element. Spend time in the sun, enjoy a warm bath, or light candles during your meditation. Let the warmth and energy of fire inspire your inner strength.
Nourish with Yellow Foods
Proper nutrition is crucial for balancing our solar plexus chakra as it fuels our energy and confidence.
Think YELLOW foods here. Eat bananas, pineapples, lemons, corn, and yellow peppers. These foods nourish and energize your solar plexus chakra, boosting your confidence and vitality.
Set and Achieve Goals
The solar plexus chakra thrives on accomplishment. Set small, achievable goals and take steps to accomplish them. Each success, no matter how small, strengthens your sense of self and builds confidence.
Feel the empowerment as you achieve your goals and set new ones.
Yoga
Dive into your asanas, the physical postures within yoga, focusing on poses that strengthen and activate your core.
Embrace poses like boat (Navasana), warrior (Virabhadrasana), or plank (Phalakasana) to activate and balance your solar plexus chakra.
Empowerment Rituals
Incorporate rituals that boost your sense of personal power. Affirmations, journaling, and visualization can help you connect with your inner strength and build self-esteem.
Repeat affirmations like “I am confident,” “I am strong,” and “I am capable” to reinforce your personal power.
