The Solar Plexis Chakra; Third in the Series of the Seven Chakras

Your intuition and mood sensitivity has a physical effect on your Solar Plexis Chakra, commonly referred to as the stomach region. You know, that gut feeling we often times have, but try to avoid and, sometime later, wish we had followed it?

The color that correlates with this center is yellow. Think of a bright yellow, perhaps from a swatch of material, pillow or a vibrant light that eminates from a light bulb. As you think of this energy and center it in and around the Solar Plexis, stomach area, you will be physically calling upon Universal Light to calm, activate your intuition and brighten your mood, which helps in stress reduction.

Since you are what you think, elevating your mood and calming your soul, will help you to think more clearly, guide you more directly on a path of optimism, etc. Your intuition speaks when you are most relaxed.
I suggest you imagine the brightness of the yellow for a few minutes until you realize a surge of energy in the Solar Plexis region.

 So far, we have activated the Root, Spleen and Solar Plexis Chakras. As we go along, the colors are uniting the Chakras with light and energy.  If just one psychic center is blocked or weakened by stress, it detracts from the power of all the other centers. When they are open, tuned and vibrating in resonance, the whole organism is at a peak of effectiveness.

Balancing the Seven Chakras; The Spleen Chakra, The Second Step

Anger and resentment, either conscious or subconscious can prevent any individual from experiencing the fullness of life. Whatever you give energy to, multiplies.

The Spleen Chakra captures resentments and can hold those negatives for a very long time. It is located half way between the root center (base of the spine) and the solar plexis (stomach). We call it the abdominal region of the body.

By releasing the hold on past experiences, a renewed and refreshed energy is absorbed in the mind and body.  As you move from chakra to chakra with the colors that correlate with them, you are sending forth the energy to break loose negatives. Each negative that is released leaves room for positive energy to take over.

Orange is the color that correlates with the Spleen Center. Take a swatch of material, pillow, etc. that has a bright hue of orange and meditate upon the vibrancy of the color. Picture a circle of this light and focus on the Spleen Chakra for a while. Let it absorb the cells, tissues, organs and glands all encompassing the abdominal region of your body.

It is not necessary to know the particulars of past issues you might be holding on to, just allow the vibrant orange to penetrate the center and, then, send it forth throughout the body. The rest is up to the subconscious. This step is the second to balancing your Chakras.
Using affirmations can add more energy to the chakra/color meditation. Repeat the following affirmation: "I release, release, release let go and let God."

Next step will be the Solar Plexis........

The Root Chakra, First in Series of Seven Chakras

Let's examine the Root Chakra first in the series of understanding the Seven Chakras of the body. Located at the base of the spine, the Root Chakra is the center of physical vitality, personal magnetism, sensuality and physical or material power. It can be hindered by negatives, such as rejection, sexual frustrations and a sense of limitation. Those negatives can interfere with the even and powerful flow of light that energizes the body.

The color that correlates with the Root Chakra is crimson red. If you will picture a diamond shape and imagine placing it in the area at the base of your spine. If you have difficulty visualizing the color, find something (a pillow, swatch of material, etc. that is crimson red. Image it big enough to encompass the internal organs and glands into the groin surrounding the base of your spine. Now imagine that the whole diamond is turning a wonderful energizing crimson red and as you let it grow brighter, allow your imagination to send the light forth throughout your blood stream to unite your centers all the way to the top of your head. This simple but effective visualization will create a feeling of exuberance and is your first step towards releasing negatives from the body.

Naturally, obstacles will either surface and release themselves or simply, release themselves from you as you begin feeling better and think more positively.

Get ready, then, for the next step........

Understanding the Chakras

Each of the chakras are energy sources and vary in frequency. When they are open and all in tune with the universe, they operate as a whole entity of energy that creates a healthy auric vibration. In other words, in balancing the chakras of the body, one can accomplish an overall feeling of well being and heightened senses.
Similarily, if just one psychic center gets blocked for one reason or another, it weakens the entire system and pulls energy away from it as a whole. Therefore, it is important that each center be paid attention to. In meditation, one can even feel which center is out of balance with the others. Each center (chakra) of the body correlates with a certain color. Meditating on the color heightens the energy of its particular center. Life should be in balance. We are supposed to feel uplifted and in good spirits. After meditating on the chakras for a while, you will begin to recognize the difference in your emotions and your body.
 Also, experiences in life will seem to shift and start to heal themselves. Some conditions might take a little more time and stubbornly try to hold on, but with persistence in meditating, those conditions will begin to right themselves. Those who have used chakra meditation report that their desires for better nutrition have increased.
Meditating on the chakras regularly and understanding what each center is about has many benefits.
Next, I will explain more detail about each chakra and its correlating color .
