Solar Plexus Meditation: Balancing 3rd Chakra Meditating on the third chakra allows you to
engage and anchor in your power center. The element of this chakra, this vital energy center
in your body, is fire, so balancing this center activates your sense of power, your ability to
share your soul’s purpose with the world, a sense of worthiness, knowing fully that
you are at choice in every moment and that you are solidly trusting your connection with God.
This Manipura chakra, as it is known in Sanskrit, mani meaning gem and pura meaning city,
literally translates to “city of jewels” and is associated with the color golden yellow.
When this Manipura chakra is balanced it like having your very own treasure center of power
and wellbeing radiating from the center of your torso. It’s your solar plexus, the center that
regulates your kidneys, stomach, liver, spleen, gall bladder, and lumbar vertebrae.
With this meditation, you will tune into this golden inner sphere, fine tuning your sense
of power, tapping into the Divine guidance and Divine wisdom that is always available to you,
and deeply sense your worthiness, deepening in self- acceptance, activating your ability to
be assertive and to share naturally from your own inner sense of power and connection with God. And
finally, you will open more fully, deepening your awareness of the sweetness of life, allowing this
joy to expand and grow in your experience. Begin to relax, perhaps sit up straight if
that is comfortable for you so that the energy can flow freely within your body.
Opening this sacred field, begin to breathe in, holding a bit on the inhale.
Breathing out, extending and holding, pausing on the exhale.
Begin to draw into your imagination a white gold sun radiating light right above your head.
Breathing in and breathing out begin to draw a ray of this golden light down into your body to
the area of your solar plexus and notice as it begins to circulate in this center.
Now, rest your awareness in your third solar plexus energy center, watching this
circulating ray of golden light. Become aware of the spaciousness of this center.
Noticing and sensing the energy that you feel here,
if there is tension, or if any thoughts come to mind, just observe. Noticing, sensing,
not judging, witnessing.
Visualize this inner center with the circulating golden light as a city of jewels,
the gems in this center
are jewels. Imagine your inner jewels, these treasures as your self- acceptance,
deep worthiness, a sense of connection with God,
your Divine guidance, your inner Source,
inner power,
your soul’s purpose, your power to carry out your purpose,
your deep connection with Spirit
as your power Source, your strength, inner wisdom, and a deep self-love.
Now that you are connected to this inner city of jewels,
begin to focus on feeling and raising your emotions
to a sense of joy and wellbeing, knowing you are deeply connected to God,
you are Sourced in the Divine. Spend a few moments, allowing this circulation
of radiant golden light to permeate this power center in your solar plexus.
Keeping your focus on this circulating wheel of golden yellow light, draw to mind
a symbol that represents your inner power and belief in your own inner strength.
See this symbol vibrating and radiating within your solar plexus center.
Know that as you go about your day, you can simply draw to mind this symbol and
know that you are in touch, deeply connected with your inner Source of power, with God,
trusting your divine guidance.
Begin to return your awareness to present time, your present surroundings,
gently allowing your breath to guide you.
You can open your eyes and complete this third chakra, Manipura, meditation.
