ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA

The chakra system originated in India between 1500 and 500 BC. It was first mentioned in an ancient text called the Vedas, which presents the seven main chakras.

In Sanskrit, the solar plexus chakra(Solar Plexus Sound Bowl) is called Manipura chakra, which translates as a city of jewels or a brilliant gem. The solar plexus chakra comes after the root and sacral chakras, followed by the heart chakra, throat chakra, third eye chakra, and crown chakra. Overall, this creates the energy system of the body’s chakras.

A chakra is defined as a spinning wheel of energy that runs up the spine to the top of the head. The concept of the seven chakras came to the Western world in the 1880s from the Tantric Yoga traditions and is increasingly being studied and practiced due to its vast benefits.

SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA FUNCTIONS

As the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra governs self-confidence related to self-esteem, purpose and inherent strength. The Kundalini energy lies dormant at the base of the spine until it is awakened through healing practices including chakra meditation, asanas, pranayama and prayer. As the energy moves through the third chakra, a person may experience increased mastery of self-expression and self-confidence. It helps people feel motivated and understand their purpose in life more deeply.
