Empower Your Solar Plexus Chakra To Heal Diabetes

Each of our chakras embodies a specific purpose within our being – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

The solar plexus chakra is our power center, governed by the fire element and linked to the pancreas and adrenal glands which play an important role in healthy digestion. Its main purpose is to transform matter into fuel and ideas into action to manifest our life goals.

• Physically, our solar plexus chakra is linked to our digestive organs and glands. Imbalances can result in diabetes, hypoglycemia, ulcers, gallstones, acidity, nausea, and adrenal fatigue.
• Mentally, our solar plexus chakra is linked to our independence, ambition, willpower, self-confidence, and proactivity. Imbalances can result in chronic stress and mood disorders.
• Emotionally, our solar plexus chakra is linked to our self-expansion, self-love, self-acceptance, and self-acknowledgement. Imbalances can result in shyness, low self-esteem, and fear.
• Spiritually, our solar plexus chakra is linked to our innate wisdom to fulfill our life purpose. Imbalances result in the inability to grow from our experiences to release our past karma.
