Boosting our Solar Plexus (warrior) energy

The Solar Plexus relates to our self-esteem, our willpower, our sense of personal power or warrior energy. This chakra causes us to address questions around our association with the word power - do we feel powerful or weak? Domineering or submissive? Aggressive or passive? And do we know that there’s a middle ground where our own personal empowerment doesn’t need to mean the diminishment of someone else's.

It’s not so much that we seek power, but rather that we want to feel free to make our own choices and follow our own path. Most of us want to walk beside others, rather than in front or behind. We don’t need to have power over others, we just don’t want to feel like the victim either.

Changing our perception of power and bringing our own warrior energy into balance is the challenge of the third chakra, and one that will lead us into transformation, joy and finding our life's dharma or purpose. 🧘🏼‍♀️

Noticing when our self-esteem or sense of personal power has been knocked is one thing, but building it back up again is not a quick fix process...

Here are some concrete steps you can take to increase your solar plexus energy (and boost self-esteem):

☀️The third chakra relates to our digestion so if you’re feeling stuck try eating foods that boost your metabolic energy.

🔥Aerobic exercise & challenging yourself through movement. Developing a feeling of power through building strength in the body and giving yourself small goals to achieve.

☀️Noticing the activities and people that energise you and spending more of your time and energy here.

🔥Taking a risk (that isn’t completely overwhelming) and noticing how you feel. That shaky feeling might be a sign of fear, but it is also the same reaction we experience when we create a state of increased energy & aliveness.

☀️Paying attention to your goals and desires. Make a plan, set some routines & stick with them ~ the success of taking short steps towards a goal will help to boost your feelings of confidence.

🔥Positive affirmations for the solar plexus: I am confident, calm and powerful. I am motivated to follow my purpose. I stand in my personal power.

Keep going spiritual warriors 🧘🏼‍♀️
