Ignite Your Solar Power

Our Solar Chakra is our 3rd of 7 major chakras linking our Sacral Chakra which we reviewed last week and our Heart Chakra (next week). Its color is brilliant yellow like the golden sun, a “shining gem” as Manipura in Sanskrit indicates. Located at the Solar Plexus, it represents our inner, more masculine power and is located just above the navel. When we allow it to be energetically ignited, we feel

Chasing Chakra Rainbows

Discipline Days 5-11

Truth be told, I lacked discipline all my life. I always commit to fancy free and fun, procrastinating otherwise. If something doesn’t interest me (taxes) but is important, it’s on my back burner, causing me more stress as it lingers over my head. I get distracted with other to-do’s. I can hear my mom, “Just get it over with!” This past week started off great then fizzled because I wasn’t
