just want to thank you so much, this page has been a great help to me.
Very interesting and informative read. Thanks 🙂
during a very intense meditation, while experiencing an out-of-body type of thing, my hand fell to this area and while trying to move it, it actually shifted back to this place.
Thankyou for this article because I’ve had so many health issues, and I think they’re related to intestinal/stomach problems.
This article was quite helpful. Here’s my only problem, in some cases experts may not be available. are there anymore alternatives? Thank you.
Good question.
I have two suggestions.
The first is to listen to my chakra balancing meditation.
The second suggestions is that I and other healers do sessions over the phone.
Hope that helps.
Peace, Happiness & Blessings

Thanks for your question.
I would advise ruling out any physical problem before working on energetic alternatives.
I would like to answer your question but it would be difficult to give you any information without talking with you.
Feel free to sign up for a free mini session and we can look at at least one of your concerns.
Peace

Hello Janet,
Whilst reading your information on Solar Plexus, I thought to myself now this is a fantastic sight. Easy to navigate, well presented information, and the contents of the information is rich explaining about gem stones, colours, yoga positions, and other useful information applicable to the topic (that other sights do not have, I researched a bit)
Glad I came accross this sight! Will be spreading the word for you!

Sherrie, thanks for stopping by.

I love this site. It’s so informative. Thank you for sharing. Namaste!
Thank you for very specific and clear information.
I have been working with the chakras for my own purposes now for a couple of years.
In May i had an incident with what felt like a heart attack. Pain radiating up to my jaw from my diaphram. I was checked medically and no heart problems. Exactly on that night i broke out in hives all over except face, neck and torso. I have been to all doctors except allergist that is in middle of month. Gastrologist ran all tests and he thinks it is a bile duct muscle into pancraes. I have bouts of hives and severe pain in diaphram. He wants to cut muscle that could cause pancreastice. The only way to ward off hives is 300mg of rananidine and hydroxyzine 50mg. I know my solar plexis are way blocked. Question, how can i be so blocked when i do a full chakra balancing meditation once a week. Oh and i havent been exercising since this episode due to extreem mucsle and joint pain. Hope this isnt too much to ask. First time i have submitted to anyone. Felt a connection with your approach.
I will be sending you an email.
Thanks for your comment.

Thank you for your information. I having been recovering from panic attacks, I get a “tight knot” in my solar plexus. I have been dealing with insomnia for a year. I find that mindfull breathing helps to take the edge off. However sleep is my greatest challange. Any thoughts? Thanking you in advance.
Lorne, take a look at some of the podcasts that are on the site.
There are a few that are for deep relaxation. Which could be of help in lowering your anxiety level.

Is it possible for a 3 year old to have a blocked solar plexus chakra? She has been diagnosed with regulation disorder of sensory processing…everything I read about blocked solar plexus describes us both
Yes it is possible.
Let me know if I can be of help.
Thank you. This is my first visit to your site and I am grateful for the detailed and helpful information that I have found here.
I have identified that my Solar Plexus Chakra is blocked. I have received the Sota Lightworks light therapy machine as a gift. However, I am struggling to find how to best use it. Can you give me any tips or recommendations as to how to use the light therapy for the Solar Plexus Chakra or direct me to where I might find this information.
Marsha, I am not familiar with the machine you mention. I did a quick search and read a bit about what they say it does. From a quick review i am not sure it would do what you want. However, I have found that most reputable companies are happy to take customer calls and offer suggestions on some best practices.

I just met a wonderful man who’s had his heart broken twice. when we hugged I felt a very bright gold light pass from his solar plexus to mine.
