Guided Meditation | Solar Plexus Chakra

Sun-guided meditation for the solar plexus. Peppermint oil for belly and breath-work.

Solar Plexus: The Core of Your Whole Self

The solar plexus is the third chakra, located between your belly button and the base of your sternum/rib cage.

Place your hand over this area to connect with it. Traditionally, this chakra is a golden-yellow color. It is the seat of self-identity, personal power, and core strength. Here lives your gut instinct, inner fire, digestion, diaphragm, discernment, and confidence.

• Discernment: Knowing what is for you and what is not.

• Confidence: Trusting your inner guidance.

Imbalances can arise from poor gut health, ignoring your intuition, or holding judgment—impacting both the chakra and corresponding body systems.

Essential Oil Enhancement

Peppermint essential oil supports this meditation by stimulating digestion and uplifting energy.

• Take 3 slow inhalations of peppermint oil.

• Apply a small amount to your upper and lower belly.

Body-Mind Practice

1. Using an open hand and fingers, rub your whole belly in a clockwise circle for 30 rotations. This follows the natural path of your large colon and promotes digestion and elimination.

2. Hold your open hand softly over your belly button.

   • Feel your small intestine absorbing nutrients.

   • Send a sense of warmth and a smile to your lower and upper belly.

3. This Yang Sheng self-healing technique expresses gratitude to your body and cultivates confidence.

Meditation

1. Find a comfortable position you can maintain for the duration.

2. Bring awareness to your belly. Soften it—do not hold it in or make it small.

3. Place your hands on your solar plexus.

   • Feel warmth radiating from within.

   • Align your spine: head over heart, heart over hips.

   • Visualize your solar plexus as the fire of a hot air balloon, expanding your lungs and heart, lifting and energizing you.

4. Commit to your breath: inhale and exhale five times.

Releasing Judgment

Release any recent or past judgment toward yourself or others. Judgment diminishes solar plexus energy and self-worth. Allow your inner fire to burn away limitations and old fears.

Connecting to Your Core

• Send encouragement to the area under your hands.

• Feel your truest self, your personality, passions, pleasures, and creativity.

• Visualize a marble-sized golden-yellow ball just above your belly button.

• With each breath, expand this ball of energy, radiating:

  • Up your arms, chest, throat, face, and crown.

  • Down your lower belly, hips, legs, and feet.

Your aura becomes a warm, happy golden-yellow. Inhale, drawing in light and energy; exhale, sending strength and confidence to areas of your life that need it.

Repeat this inhale/exhale visualization five times.

By the end of this meditation, feel aligned with your highest potential.
