I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells.
I honor the place in you which is of love, of truth, of light, and of peace.
When you are in that place in you and I am in the place in me, WE ARE ONE.

The Solar Plexus Chakra

The third chakra is known as the Solar Plexus chakra and is located at the base of the rib cage. It is associated with the color yellow and is the foundation of the mental body which enables us to pick up vibrations and essences from people, places and things. It also involves personal power, energy, self-control, emotional issues and issues of self-acceptance.

The Solar Plexus region, at the center of the body, is symbolic of the link between the upper (heaven) and lower (earth) parts of our being. It is the doorway between the self and the rest of the world where we allow entry of thoughts, criticisms, perceptions, opinions, stereotypes, judgements and so on. If we do not protect this energy center, we leave ourselves open to the thought forms that are around us.

The Solar Plexus is connected to the organs in the body responsible for transformative processes, namely the digestive system, encompassing the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, small intestines, liver and gallbladder. It also influences the muscles, metabolism and the nervous sytem.

Signs you might need to work on your Solar Plexus Chakra:
  • If it is difficult for you to express your feelings freely.
  • If you have a hard time recognizing goals and/or reaching them.
  • If you give in to others too easily.
  • If you have a hard time accepting criticism.
  • If your emotions get the upper hand and you do things that you later regret.
  • If you suffer from nightmares or insomnia.
  • If you suffer from anxiety.
  • If you are prone to stomach problems.
  • If you have heartburn.
  • If your stomach feels tight and cramped or you often feel queasy.
  • If you are overweight or you suffer from eating disorders.
  • If you have jealous or aggressive tendencies.

Graduation Day

Today I graduated from the Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy and am now a Certified Crystal Healer. I can't say enough good things about Hibiscus Moon and the live online courses she delivers. I learned the scientific and metaphysical properties of crystals and stones, how to apply them in Crystal Healing and so much more!

I started back in April and initially I thought it would take me about one year to complete the course. But the stars aligned for me, as did the classes, and I was able to complete it in eight months.

Along with the classes I did a lot of reading, research and a lot of practice sessions on friends . . . you know who you are and I thank you for your patience and eagerness to participate as my guinea pigs!

As a Certified Crystal Healer through the Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy I practice with a code of ethics and standards that assures you will receive the utmost in care, healing, relaxation and stress relief and you will always be treated with respect and dignity.
