THE solar plexus

honoring the energetics

  • honor what you are feeling in any given moment

  • process rather than stuff, avoid, ignore your feelings.

  • understand that your emotions are intricately tied to your ability to co-create

  • get in your body + out of your mind

  • have healthy energetic autonomy + boundaries.

  • practice emotional hygiene

  • acting from an emotional still point rather than impulse or reactivity.

  • have somatic awareness of your feelings and where they live in your body.

NOT SELF

  • avoiding confrontation.

  • being “nice” rather than potentially upsetting anyone.

  • future predicting disappointment or rejection, not acting from fear of.

  • not being truthful to avoid hurting feelings.

HONORING YOUR definITION

  • ride the waves

  • listen to the information along your waves to know what serves you and what does not.

  • remember there is no truth in the now, but needs time to be revealed.

  • emotions as your authority

  • get in flow

  • do not rush it, sleep on decisions, let people know you will get back to them

  • get to know what FEELS good to you and vice versa

  • know that you will often not feel 100% sure and that’s ok, listen for the deeper truth

  • be responsible for the emotional environment you create, you’re a vibe ;) and those with this center open will amplify your feels. Know that you can be moody AF and be mindful of when you need to step away rather than subject others to your energy.

  • take your time to gather the info along your waves before committing to relationships.

  • pause before you react. Wait for the calm before you speak, respond, etc..

  • take time alone when you are in the valleys of your wave

AFFIRM:

I am not impulsive with my decisions but wait for the truth to be revealed in emotional stillness.

I practice patience until I have clarity, fully experiencing my range of feelings.

It is actually seductive for me to honor my authority and ask others to wait for my truth.

My emotions are my own particular brand of intelligence.

HONORING YOUR openNESS

  • check in regularly to see if what you are feeling + expressing is all yours.

  • refrain from making emotionally influenced decisions

  • play in the emotions of others to gather perspective and information but avoid becoming solid with, taking on, or distorting the feels of those around you. They are not yours to identify with.

  • know your own center so you can feel when you are absorbing something outside yourself. Follow YOUR Authority.

  • cultivate healthy boundaries

  • work with plant medicine to strengthen your own capacity + shore up your energy.

  • know that you are not emotionally unstable. And, now that you know you have this center open you can bring mindfulness and intention. Release all doubt, guilt, shame, rejection or personalization of the emotions you have marinated in and choose now to be a filter not a sponge.

  • your fear of confrontation + future projecting around it is often much scarier than actually confronting the person + issue by speaking your truth (free of blame or judgement).

  • release the feels (and any limiting beliefs associated with the emotions) you have taken on from your past + stored away

  • empty out daily, this can be as simple as some time alone or more dedicated practices when you know you’ve taken something on and need help releasing.

AFFIRM:

I know my own emotional center + intelligence.

I get to experience the beauty of playing in the full human experience of feels.

Is this {feeling I’m feeling} entirely mine?

I can safely express my truth + needs.

I follow my Strategy + Authority to know what confrontations are healthy + correct for me.

When I speak my truth, I am free.

I do not identify with (or attach to) other’s emotions.

COMPLETLEY OPEN

If you have this center open and especially if you have this center FULLY open meaning no definition and no gates then I would encourage you to look at the auras you grew up in and the ways you may have been conditioned around this energy. With this center completely open you may find that you are often confused about what you are feeling. It may be challenging for you to decipher your own desires + passions or how to deal with the vibes and moods of those around you. With time and mindfulness as well as utilizing the tools within this can become clearer. You have an incredible gift which is to experience the exquisite rainbow of feels we have access to as humans with very little prejudice. You are experiencing them in their purest, unadulterated form.

 

BRINGING AWARENESS:

  • Am I avoiding confrontation? Making myself or my truth small?

  • Do I avoid telling the truth for fear of the consequences?

  • Am I being a nice girl?

  • Is this feeling mine? Am I taking on the emotions of those around me as my own?

  • Am I honoring my needs and stepping away when others emotions are too intense?

  • Am I taking time alone every day to empty out?

    additional prompts

THE EMOTIONAL WAVES

The Gates (and Channels) defined from our Solar Plexus offer us insight into how we process our feels. If you have more than one Gate defined then you will experience a combination of these energies. Channel 59-6 the Channel of Mating is the source of all emotional waves, connected to intimacy + bonding. It is probably the most stable wave and since it is connected to other, requires someone to call the energy out of you.

 

feels exploration

Transmute the Shadows and low vibrations of your Defined Gates.

Where do they live (planetary placement + house)?

How do they show up for you?

How can you lean into the gifts?

Do you have any that would bridge Splits? Do they present in your life either in their gift or shadow?

I highly recommend everyone reading up on Gate 22 whether you have it defined or not as it is a portal tied to the emotions + transmuting suffering. If you have the book, read about the 22nd Key, as well as any you have defined in this Center.

  • KUNDALINI “WASHING MACHINE”

    Sit cross-legged on the floor. Raise both arms to out to a “T” and bend at the elbows so your forearms are vertical (cactus pose) and touch the first finger and thumbs of each hand (rest of fingers pointed up) - or -bring fingertips and thumb to tops of shoulders. Now rotate your entire upper body at the waist to the left as you breathe in and then to the right as you breathe out. Go back and forth in this motion for thirty to sixty seconds. Also a great daily practice.
