    Our chakras respond directly to how we think or feel. Positive emotions allow good energy to flow freely and negative emotions close or weaken the chakras. Positive emotions transmit positive vibrations to the universe which in turn attracts to us manifestations associating with those emotions. Thus balancing or healing the solar plexus chakra can be achieved by having good emotions that supports this energy center

    1)Healing Through Color

    The resonating color for the sacral chakra is yellow. You can wear yellow clothing or yellow gemstone or look at the color yellow. I painted one section of my house yellow and it is a very uplifting color. The alternative color is gold.

    Eat yellow fruits and vegetable such as yellow apple, yellow melon, yellow pear, lemon, mango, yellow tomatoes, yellow capsicum, yellow pepper, yellow zucchini, sweet corn.

    Visualize yellow energy and the good emotions for the solar plexus chakra. Select a quiet environment , stand, sit or lie down in a comfortable relaxing position. Clear your mind of any other color or thoughts. Then imagine a clear beautiful yellow energy flowing gently into the solar plexus chakra. Keep the yellow energy swirling in a clock wise movement and expand it outward until it fills up the entire abdominal areas. I like to say my affirmations along with this visualization exercise. You can create affirmations that suits your needs. Below are some examples.
