Having the ability to separate mind from body is a good one. Can it be done then is a whole other story. Today’s blog is a continuation to December 20th 2022 blog, Mind Games, which talks about how to strengthen the mind in conjunction with body, and the overall wellbeing to be expected.
Our body’s solar plexus is a lustrous gem that needs cultivating to dig deep into spiritual awareness and a healthy body that is destined to have an eventful while healthy disposition to grow and flourish which nourishes our wellbeing. This will help us to get the most out of ourselves, and as I learned from Tony Robbins in the mid-90s there are six human needs that when fulfilled stand us in good shape for future outcome: Certainty, Uncertainty/Variety, Significance, Connection/Love, Growth, and Contribution.
By practicing postures that balance the solar plexus chakra like yoga and mindful breathing it helps release tension in the solar plexus, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The warrior poses build confidence and align the third chakra. Sun salutations warm up the body and connect with the fiery energy of the sun. Boat pose is another excellent posture for strengthening the abdominal muscles, balancing digestion, and bringing a sense of personal empowerment.
By healing from the past traumas that become stored in the body and continue to affect thought patterns and behaviors we can overcome those who have experienced a strict upbringing, bullying, or authoritarian parents, or those who have suffered mental or physical abuse and tend to have difficulty balancing the third chakra (solar plexus). Therapy, support from loved ones, and other healthy activities can help begin the path to healing from the past and restoring balance to the solar plexus chakra.
Don’t take my word for it, but rather streamline your efforts to improve, improve, and improve!
Have a terrific day!
