Developing Singularity

Singularity develops in teenagers and is fully comprehended by the time we reach full maturity.  The Solar Plexus Chakra is responsible for inner knowing and gut instincts   Everyone knows we are separate individuals and we are expected to be separate by the time we are an adult.  This activates our Solar Plexus Chakra into becoming bigger, which in turn manifests a strong and resilient inner core.

Personal Worth

Self-worth is the key quality of the solar plexus chakra.  The true self is always whole and perfect.  You can not affect the true self by pain or trauma, regardless of what happens to an individual, the self stays intact and shines like the sun.

Power and Resistance

   Your power lives in this Chakra and is the effect of knowing who we are.  Resistance and opposition are forces nature places in our paths so we develop our powers further.  These powers include influencing others and changing circumstances around us.  We can cultivate this power to master ourselves and build character.  When doing such things as sticking by someone no matter what,   or sticking up for what is right in our own lives or even just finishing a project, our sense of power and self worth grows bigger. Depth and quality are in turn added to our character.   This opposition and resistance are crucial to the development of the Solar Plexus Chakra.  From the view of the Chakra, we will witness life in terms of us and them or others. This duality is how the ego forms and how we come to know  ourselves in the world.

Archetypes

Positive: The Warrior

The warrior is an empowered person with a definite sense of selfhood.  Warriors know who they are both to themselves and to the world.  Their sense of self is perfectly balanced neither being too puffed up or too fragile.  They have what it takes to see their dreams materialise and are also physical fit and emotionally stable.

Negative:  The Servant

The personal identity of this archetype is found externally from themselves.  The servant is found always to be seeking confirmation of self worth from others and needs acknowledgement for work done.  They are constantly draining themselves of energy doing this and in effect committing self sabotage.

Solar Plexus Chakra and the Emotional Body

POWER

The Solar Plexus Chakras emotions revolve around power.  They mirror our relationship to inner strength and self worth.  These emotions help us stand up for ourselves.  If we are comfortable with our power, we will act with conviction and exercise freedom of choice in most matters.  If we are uncertain and uneasy  about our right to our own power, we will dodge situations that call for a firm response.

The Solar Plexus Chakra and the Mental Body

The Solar Plexus Chakra contains our thoughts about power, confidence, and freedom of choice.  If we fail to value ourselves, our ideas about power may be inflated of deflated depending oh how we see ourselves in realtion to others.  When we know who we are, we cultivate power carefully and cherish our freedom to choose what is right for us.

 

Accessing the Solar Plexus Chakra

Once we know our true worth and our ego is balanced and

considerate of others in the world, we can say

we have mastered the Solar Plexus Chakra.

 

Mirror Effect

When our personal identity is intact, we know who we are.  We know we are worthy of respect, love and kindness.  The reality is that the world tends to mirror back to you what you think

you deserve.  This includes relationships, jobs, money and our daily lives.  When you see a person who needs recognition and attention

one may safely assume they just don't know who they are.  Instead of causing harmony in their lives, these ones tend to cause a lot

of drama.
