Solar Plexus chakra -relationships, illnesses -II

  - part II -

     As Manipura is strongly related to social issues, I have to underline that bringing up children is to big extend complicated family, and social phenomena. Society and institutions play critical role, the same as family relations. That’s why I wont give here particular solutions to the above problems and child behavior, but I want to say some warnings. All of the list shows aspects of harming the energy of manipura, of imbalance in this chakra. In order to prevent yourself from such relationships about children I can give you the advices: 1. don not let your child to control you, manipulate you and rule above you; ( that happens mainly by spoiling your child since early age, giving him all what he needs without any restrictions and without showing him mistakes; this is extremely harmful for the future of the child). 2. try to connect and speak with your child in open and honest way, saying to him/ her the truth. Many parents continue to have wrong image of what child “knows” and what he can understand”. Even children are not able to understand so much as grown people, they have better intuition and feelings in any situation. That’s because in some ages, before they to be deformed by social programs in schools, they have ability to listen with their heart. They see people in their real faces and light of higher self. That’s why child can actually understand better than you many things. Speak with him about things and areas in your life. Say to him even how you feel, why you feel so. Say to him if you don’t have good relationship with another parent (mother, father); share with him personal issues about divorce or about illness! Remember, child can feel you even before you speak. Be open and honest, then you will have the same as a result: your child will come to you and share with you his deepest desires, his problems and need. Sharing is half way solving of problem. 3. Make good friends with your child. Never underestimate your child and his human value. Don’t say to him – you are bad in this, you are too bad in all, I`m disappointed from you always, you are no one…Many parents still have this approach of humiliation. Instead see and notice his positive sides and ENCOURAGE him in all things he strives (of course if they are positive for him and his surroundings). Encourage his interests, hobbies, affections, like his friends. Let child to feel loved, appreciated, cherished. Put restrictions and boundaries of what he is allowed to do and what he isn’t. No one can have total freedom, and everyone has responsibilities. That your child need to understand since he become 9. not older, or it will be too late! Go with him/ her to different places and show him how to love and respect animals, nature and plants. Let him to feel your ideas, not “by long tiring speech”. Just by feeling, children can do that. Be benevolent to his wishes, but also be strict enough to not let him to manipulate you.

In regard to topic of friendship, and soul mates, I write much in all details in these articles: “on friendship”. One of the basic things for any friendship is “sharing” (of feelings, ideas, love) and care about your friends. This relationship the same as any intimate relationship is like flower that needs to grow. No matter of distance, always remember birthday of your friends, send him messages, cards and little gifts for any occasion and holiday. This is little part from the real friendship. Friendship is different kind of love – to someone who is your soul mate and so close to you. Someone who will understand you and support you in hard times and someone who will be near to you to share your happiness. To be friend is also “responsibility” but one of love. Just label “friend” without any action and prove to deserve that name, without sharing or sending love to another…is an empty shell. Its nothing. That’s why have one or 2 real friends than 33 fake.

I continue on endless topic of Manipura imbalances. They appear very well in the so wide spread “belly fat” of people all around. That means every one and half person on planet has problem with diet? Not only. That means there are many broken relationships of parent-child, mistreatment of children in general (children slavery and early age labor), and many broken or fake “friendship” relationships. This belly fat (stomach) corresponds to many more emotional and psychological details. They are related to: 1. misuse or misunderstanding of power (person want to control and manipulate others –(if he is in higher position, or in political power), or 2. person cant have self-control (over his negative emotions –anger, aggression); - 3. person has extremely harmful eating habits and eating disorder;

The home space related to Solar Plexus is: The right corner of the room from opposite side of the door. All lamps and lights are also Manipura. Put in this corner yellow crystals (citrine or amber).

I ll clarify now the third one: harmful eating habits in Manipura:

They appear as strong dark spots of unhealthy energy that stays in the chakra making it dull and ill; you may experience this if:

-         you don’t have a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables;

-        if you have harmful habits like mania for caffeine (more than 2 cups a day), cigarettes and alcohol

-        if you eat excessively harmful (toxic) foods: white sugar, white flour; bread; pizza from shops, fast food;

-        if you don’t drink enough water and don’t care of your water intake

-        if you share the same eating habits with your children and give them (allow them) many artificial sweeteners, chocolate (not real), biscuits; artificial fats

-        if you feel “too tired” or not “having enough time” for things you like or for exercises.

    All this long list is again related to illnesses of Manipura. Amazingly you can see this chakra has even more harmful sides than Root chakra. This is because it is beginning of activated power of Consciousness.

The angel often related to Manipura (because of yellow color) is Uriel. But I can say Michael is also perfect angel for any issues with Manipura, as he works with quality of courage and self-esteem.

Quality of third chakra is acceptance – or accept and value yourself in the same way as you accept and value others.

Accept and appreciate your children.

Be present now, feel the moment.

Leave the past and future to melt on the time-space.

Be kind and generous with others.

Have your boundaries and don’t allow people to take your energy.

Make positive healthy relationships and value your friends.

Make positive, open and honest relationship with your children.

Take care of orphan children, or ones with disabilities; participate in cause. Give love.

Have the courage to know what you want and make your profession part of your mission in life. Work with devotion, or don’t work.

Write down qualities that you don’t like in yourself, and try to improve them in positive way. Write the qualities you like in yourself.

Write down qualities you like in your friends (and children) and then qualities you don’t like. Compare them – how many are the positive qualities? You will understand the meaning and impact that your friends have on you.

This is all for manipura chakra, that has so vast ocean of information! Thank you for tuning in my analysis and work!
