Day 11 of the 30 day meditation challenge. The Solar Plexus.


Are you ready to learn about your Solar Plexus today?  As with the Root and Sacral chakra's, today's meditation is the same, so let's refresh with that now.  So you know where to "look" or focus your attention, the Solar Plexus is located two inches above your navel and when balanced is a beautiful yellow.  What's the difference between Beautiful yellow and yellow, you ask? Nothing, in my mind when something is balanced, it is just beautiful.  (big smile!) 

Meditation:  Do your relaxation breathing exercises three times, (more if you need some time to clear the mind), then breathe naturally.  Now,imagine you are looking at your Solar Plexus. Is it dim?  If so, with each inhalation, imagine you are breathing life into your solar plexus.  For me, this was tough, because when I hear breathe life into the something, I think outward breath, so I imagined that the Solar Plexus was like a pinwheel and every time I took a breath in, it would spin.  Breathe in peace, exhale negativity.  Continue this until you feel your wheel is spinning at a normal speed (not too fast, not too slow) and glowing that beautiful yellow.  Like any of your chakra's, you do not want to over do it, an imbalance isn't just slow moving, it can be fast moving too.  When you are done with opening/lighting up your chakra, open your eyes and meditate using the words, 'power is peace'.

So why is the Solar Plexus so important?  Well think of it in terms of the sun.  Nothing can be alive without the sun, right? Well, the SP is the sunshine of your chakra's.  That is my interpretation at least.  When balanced, it is the home of logic, intelligence and goals. It is kind of the seed for all things good.  When it is balanced, people are generally outgoing, friendly, relaxed and generous.  No, do not expect to balance a friend's solar plexus and then expect money, generosity is the way someone loves you, the time they could make for you, or vice versa.  It is being a shoulder, or an ear, when someone needs it.  When the SP is out of balance, too bright or too dim, it can cause darker emotions to surface.  One meditation I saw, while working with my Solar Plexus simply stated, 'I am the power of peace" and asked those listening to repeat it. 

The Solar Plexus is about worthiness and personal empowerment.  I had a dream a few weeks ago, that I mentioned in another post, and the mystery man in my dream said to me, repeat after me Shellymarie, "I am a gift to this world", "I deserve to be in it",  "I am enough".  I don't know who he was, but it helped and when I woke up, I felt worthy of being in this world. 

Let's face it, we all have those moments of not feeling a part of something. Maybe it is the path we are on, or perhaps it is just a flicker of darkness, as the sun begins to shine through, casting the shadows aside.  Whatever it is, remember that when your chakra's are balanced, you are balanced.   Sunday I get to move on to the heart chakra.  That should be exciting.

So just remember those three mantra's and repeat them to yourself.  What you put out to the world, you will get back, so be careful with your thoughts and actions and find peace in all that you do, because remember, good or bad, every experience is a learning lesson.

Until tomorrow...love yourself and know that you belong in this world.

From a personal journey to...

I have blogged off and on about a personal journey I have been on for about a year or so.  It's nothing earth shattering for anyone but me.  I hate to say it, but I kind of became a cliché.  Indeed, I had become that person who needed to find themselves.  One of my favorite quotes along the way came from Tolkien, "Not all those who wander are lost".  It kind of contradicts my previous statement, well not kind of, it does, because I talk about finding myself, but truly, I knew where I was all the time.  Are you confused yet? Think of it as standing outside of your body inside a hall of mirrors.  Like a carnival there are images of you everywhere, but only one of those images are you.  So you go about seeking the solid figure and along the way you hit dead ends, walls, other mirrors with images of yourself and so on, until you finally stop, breathe and realize if you look at the mirror in front of you, there you are.  You stop trying so hard...

The single person's guide to Valentine's Day.

Are you single and fretting over Valentine's? Maybe you're becoming increasingly depressed, or blue, because you keep seeing those jewelry commercials on television, or those candy commercials?  Or your friend's or coworkers keep telling you their plans, or hopes of a potential special moment? Well, I am here to virtually hug you and to tell you, it will be okay.  First, don't begrudge your friend's or coworkers their happiness.  Smile sincerely and be happy for them.  Being happy for them, will make you feel better and will increase your outer (yet invisible) glow.  Hey, you might glow so brightly, you could end up with a Valentine's date if you go to Happy Hour on a Friday night.  Now, how do you get over yourself and move beyond the stigma, that is kind of self-imposed, of being single on Valentine's day?  Take your power back and put you first.  There are a million and ten places open on Valentine's day.  Severa...

Meditation for a Full or New Moon.

Are you one of those people who are a little unbalanced emotionally, or mentally, during a full moon?  Perhaps you go a little crazy, or maybe you turn into a hairless werewolf? Well, I may have the solution you are looking for.  I can't promise it will work miracles, but there is a possibility it might be able to help bring you back to a desirable level of sanity. Some people don't give the moon enough credit. Sure a full moon lights up the earth a bit more than usual, and sure it might make some canines bay at the moon, but it can also mess with your personal being. Think about it, moon cycles play with the ocean tide right?  Well, seeing how the body is made up of a large percentage of water, isn't it plausible that the moon is also playing with the human body? Throwing it off balance and making you feel not so emotionally fresh? I am not a scientist. I am not a trained person when it comes to meditations, so I am putting that out there now. ...
