Good morning!
Welcome to Day 11 of our Solar Plexus Chakra cleanse.
A healthy solar plexus chakra controls our identity and allows us to know ourselves so we can live with confidence and strength. With a balanced solar plexus chakra, we will be able to set boundaries and be assertive without being aggressive. It allows us to judge ourselves and others fairly but not critically. We will feel confident and not struggle with self-doubt or aggressive egotism, but instead, feel comfortable in our own skin and trust in our abilities. We’ll come to understand that we have the power of choice.
Our Solar Plexus Chakra is out of balance if we have low self-esteem,
Have difficulty maintaining self-control, have depression, anxiety, or feel insecure and unassertive.
Each of us have 7 Chakras and when balanced they work together to create an optimal life. If you would like to know more, here’s the info on the Daily Guide and What Are CHAKRAS.

Today we want to focus on releasing negative emotions.
There are only two emotions and those are love and fear. Positive emotions come from love, and negative emotions from fear. From love flows happiness, contentment, peace, and joy. From fear comes anger, hate, anxiety and guilt. Holding on to these negative emotions can create emotional and physical problems and lead us to act out those emotions on innocent people who love and support us. We have to express and release our negative emotions or they will build up and block us from enjoying our present, being productive, and reaching our goals.
1. Release negative emotions
1. Take a deep breath through your nose into your tummy, feel the emotion, then release it with a breath. Think of the emotion starting in tummy, coming up from your chest and exiting your mouth.
2. Write it down is a great way to get the emotions out. Write down everything, get it all out. Then throw it out, burn it or shred it.
3. Get moving. Exercise that gets the blood pumping and body sweating is a physical release that helps release emotions that are trapped in our body.
We still want to use meditation, yoga pose, food and an affirmation because this awakens and strengthens our chakra. We need all the help that we can get.
2. Meditation:
Here’s an app for Insight Timer Meditation
Here is the YouTube video for Binaural beats to use with earphones.
Meditate for as long as you would like and it's even better if you are out in nature feeling the grass and trees around to ground you.
Close your eyes and feel the earth beneath you. Inhale taking in fresh nourishing energy, exhale releasing all of the things that no longer serve you or help you move forward.
Sit with your shoulders back and your spine straight. Try to relax all your muscles as you close your eyes and breathe deeply. Inhale through the nose, pulling the breath as far down into your body as you can, and exhale through the mouth.
Chant RAM while meditating
Rrrraaaaaaaaaammmm
3. Food: Yellow and Carbohydrates
A healthy Solar Plexus chakra vibrates at the color YELLOW. Incorporate whole grains like: oats, spelt, rice, rye, bananas, corn, pineapple, yellow squash, chamomile and lemons.
4. Yoga pose: Boat Pose
Boat Pose is a challenging balance pose that engages the core. Beyond creating physical strength, it has the the potential to create great mental strength within us as well. It does this by showing us our ability to conquer difficult situations. This lends itself to increased confidence, a defined sense of self, and a balanced ego. This is a pose that brings us into harmony with ourselves, and allows us to celebrate the strengths of those around us without fear of inadequacy.
If you have any medical concerns, talk with your doctor before practicing yoga.
Traditional Boat Pose starts in a seated position with knees bent and feet on the floor.
From there, extend the arms out straight at shoulder height. Then, lift one foot so the legs are bent at 90 degrees.
Once you find balance, lift the other foot.
If possible, extend the legs straight so the feet point up and your body makes a “V” shape. You can play with extending the arms straight up.
Focus on connecting down through the tailbone and engaging the core while extending through the crown of your head.
5. Affirmation: “I stand up for myself.”
When you state an affirmation you are stating a truth. Affirmations are sentences aimed to affect the conscious and the subconscious mind. The words composing the affirmation, automatically and involuntarily, bring up related mental images into the mind, which could inspire, energize and motivate.
Repeat all day long and if you look in the mirror while stating this, even better!
