Solar Plexus ( Manipura)

This is the 3rd chakra and the one people are having g the most need of strengthening lately.
It’s the element of fire (solar means sun) thus the color is yellow. It is above the Dantien and below the Heart. It’s the ‘gut’ where if it is hit, physically, one loses their breathe.
IT will be easy to remember that with the sun comes sight so sight is the sense of this chakra.
The solar (manipura) chakra rules the organs in the lower rib cage. This is the pancreas, liver, gall bladder, stomach, spleen, digestive system (large and small intestine but not the colon or anus or rectum. Remember that belongs to the root chakra). Also the autonomic nervous system. This system regulates the breathe, and B/P. Going back to the chakra, it also helps the lower back muscles.
As it is the color, yellow, so yellow’s the gem stone that will enhance and support this area: citrine, amber, tiger’s eye, and yellow sapphire and yellow topaz.
The scents are a little harder to remember and I have yet to get a pneumonic with them. They are bergamot, lavender, sage, rosemary and carnation; all Shakespearean scents if that means anything.
Emotionally and ethereally this chakra promotes personal power and social identity. IT strengthens self authority and self control, will, personal energy, inner harmony, a sense of identity. It promotes increase self esteem, gives strength and vitality spurring action and radiance. This mantra here is “I CAN”. You can use this as a mantra affirmation as “I CAN accept myself completely. I can do anything I set my mind to do. I can enhance my spiritual being to increase radiance and joy. I can feel my personal power grow stronger everyday.” Or,” I can clean my room today.” IT works. Try it!
Its Guardian Angels is Raphael.
Try to wear yellow clothes, eat yellow veggies that will help strengthen your will and your chakra.
