The 3rd chakra is feeling-based, offering personal power and emotional control

Use essential oils to activate and balance the energy centers—chakras—of the body. Young Living has fostered the idea that the earth has provided a good life for all mankind and that the answers to our medical needs can be found in the natural world that surrounds us. Because of this, Young Living celebrates the essence of essential oils in integrated medical treatment as well as in day-to-day living. When all the chakras are open, bright and clean, our chakra system is balanced. When a chakra becomes blocked, damaged, or muddied with residual energy, then our physical and emotional health can be affected. This occurs habitually as the result of negative or incomplete belief systems. Therefore it is necessary to keep your chakras balanced. This can be achieved by Essencial Oils. We have the ability to empower ourselves and choose to see the positive in life. Choosing to stay in positive energy brings light and health to the physical body as well as lightens the mind. Solar Plexus Chakra (Spleen) / “I CAN” - I AM / Element: FIRE The Solar Plexus Chakra is associated with the color yellow. Personal power is built in this third chakra, the Solar Plexus chakra, which is considered the Will Center of our Being. The personality that develops during puberty is housed in this chakra....otherwise known as the "EGO". This is the area which defines our "self-esteem". Anyone experiencing dysfunction of the third chakra is having difficulty obtaining or maintaining his/her own "personal power". This chakra is also an intuitive chakra, where we get our "gut instincts" that signal us to do or not to do something. Strong self-esteem is a required for developing intuitive skills. Area of Body Governed is upper abdomen, umbilicus to rib cage, liver, gallbladder, middle spine, spleen, kidney, adrenals, small intestines, stomach. Physical Dysfunctions- stomach ulcers, intestinal tumors, diabetes, pancreatitis, indigestion, anorexia/bulimia, hepatitis, cirrhosis, adrenal imbalances, arthritis, colon diseases Oils For aromatic or topical use that assist the solar plexus on an emotional level are Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) , Frankincense (Boswellia carteri), Rose (Rosa damascena), Myrrh (Commipihora myrrha) , Melissa (Melissa officinalis) , Orange (Citrus sinensis) , Elemi (Canarium luzonicum, a member of the same botanical family as frankincense and myrrh ), Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora) , sandalwood (Santalum album), chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) , and Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis CT cineol) , Harmony™ /. These essential oils may be used alone or in combination. They can all be useddiffused for aromatic use. For topical use you may add them to a massage oil rubbed clockwise around the belly below the sternum and behind the stomach while thinking the positive affirmation. Soaking in a bath of any of these oils while contemplating (or just dreaming) happy thoughts will activate the solar plexus in a positive way. <>BWe create our own realities, Using empowering positive statements of “I Am” The color yellow carries a resonance or frequency that supports the Solar Plexus chakra and strengthens our “I Am” frequency. It is the energy of fire that is used for purification and burning out the old negative belief patterns and the obsolete energies preventing us from moving forward on our spiritual path. When this energy center is imbalanced or compromised we become fearful and loose the ability to assert our true selves. In times of stress, doom and gloom, a sense of self-dejection sets in, sliding us deeper into misery, discouragement, and despair. We become unsure of our intuitive knowing and begin depending on others to create our reality. We give up our personal power, forfeit our self-respect and abandon our self-esteem. Fear disrupts our inner sense of stability and balance. It negates the “I Am” energy by creating a dramatic world of lack, of pain and promotes pessimistic, self-perpetuating “I Am” beliefs like “ I am going to lose my job”, “ I am unable to pay my mortgage”, “I am so poor” etc. etc. etc. While I was growing up, this was simply referred to as “stinkin thinking”. Essential oils that resonate on a similar frequency to yellow/fire are used for purification to emotionally burn away old negative belief patterns, to transmute or clear away negative self-perceptions, to clear obsolete energies and physical debris preventing us from moving forward. Essential oils can assist in supporting our lives but we first and foremost have to change our thought patterns to begin to create the world that we want to live in. In turn, with our consistant use of empowering positive statements, we will create our own realities to help nurture us through such things as dismal days, scarce times, and other numerous unsettling issues along our path. Use the empowering statement of “I Am” to attract all things good, “I am worthy of abundance”, “I am a magnet for prosperity”, “I am surrounded by love, joy, wealth, health and contentment” In closing, I ask of you from this day forward to surround yourself with positive thought and uplifting people, for healing must address ones whole being: the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual for it to adhere long term. Luckily there are a variety of safe essential oils that support our positive self-image and help us identify with our sense of self-empowerment. Use these oils in meditation, in ritual or in any ceremony where negative self-perception needs to be transmuted or cleared away.
