The Purpose of the Solar Plexus Chakra

The aura that is used in association with the solar plexus is a bright yellow.  When the chakra is open, this aura will be apparent to a Reiki instructor.  In relation to this, the solar plexus is often referred to as relating to the element of fire.  When one goes through a healing with the solar plexus, they may have visions of sunlight or sunflowers in relation to this. 

Reiki instructors will usually place their hands above the navel to trigger this energy center.  For females, they will rotate their hands to the left and with males to the right.  This helps in clearing any blocked energies in this area.  If something emotional or traumatic has happened, this is usually where the blocked energies are located.  Once these blockages has been removed and the chakra is open once again, different emotions may also open. 

If a Reiki instructor decides to use Reiki toning, then they will begin on a low tone of E.  This will then be complimented with the mantra of ‘ram’.  This helps to send extra vibrations through the body and helps to clear the solar plexus area.  In relation to this, some Reiki instructors will also use the aromas of lavender, rosemary and bergamot to clear this area.  Gemstones may also be used in this process.  This includes amber, tiger’s eye, yellow topaz and citrine. All of these gemstones will help with the healing process of the solar plexus through their complimentary universal energies. 

The solar plexus chakra is the last of the lower chakras and is the most complex of the three.  It’s relation to the body relies on the emotions that are being generated by that person.  By opening up the solar plexus chakra and healing its center, you will find many differences in their health.
