Solar Plexus Activity #4: Now we're going to anchor the psychological work with symbolic anchors to keep the energy active in our daily environment. We will create a focal point for our personal power as a way of visualizing the fire in our bellies. Keep a symbolic stone on your desk or in your pocket to represent this center. A yellow gemstone like Topaz is excellent for channeling Solar Plexus energy, willpower, and intention. Alternatively, a stone like Dalmatian Jasper can be used to break down psychological barriers and encourage a sense of playfulness and determination while you work. If you don't own an appropriate gem and have no means of getting one, grab a blank page and draw or color a brilliant, multi-layered sun using yellows, golds, and bright oranges. Inside the center of the sun, write the new name or identity you claimed in Activity #2. When you feel a moment of self-doubt or a craving driven by a feeling of powerlessness, physically place your hand over your stomach (the Solar Plexus), look at your visual anchor, and take three sharp, energizing breaths.
Solar Plexus Activity #3: The Solar Plexus requires us to step out of passivity and into agency. This means taking control of something in your life that you have been avoiding. We will be tackling one delayed responsibility. Pick one administrative or life task that has been hanging over your head. It should be something that requires you to assert yourself or organize your future—like updating a resume, making a difficult phone call, paying a specific bill, or officially planning a future project you’ve been putting off. Break it down into three actionable steps and execute step one immediately. Notice how the heat of taking action burns away the heavy, stagnant feeling of dread. You are reclaiming your power over your environment!
Solar Plexus Activity #2 Compulsive patterns thrive on rigid, limiting labels. To break free from old cycles, we must intentionally design the persona we are stepping into. This requires exploring the deep symbolism and personal mythology of how we each define our true self. We are not a reflection of our historical behaviors; we are the active authors of our upcoming chapters. Write down every single disempowering label or self-critical narrative you adopted while caught in the cycle of dependency (e.g., I am broken, I am chaotic, I am a hostage to my habits, I am untrustworthy). Then sever the connection using a bold black marker to heavily strike through each phrase, visually and symbolically breaking up (with) those outdated definitions.Inentionally construct your upgraded identity. Look into the deep symbolism, historical meanings, or specific energetic archetypes that strongly resonate with your inner self. (Are you stepping into the frequency of the Seeker? The Creator? The Sovereign?) Then create three distinct, present-tense "I AM" affirmations that align with this new you. To take things one step further, embed this identity into your daily routine. Update a frequently used digital password, redesign your phone's lock screen, or rename your daily alarm to reflect your chosen archetype. This forces you to actively interface with your new direction multiple times a day.
Solar Plexus Activity #1: Having a "weak" will is not a character flaw; it is a sign of mental fatigue. Think of your self-discipline like a battery that has been drained. You wouldn't expect a dead phone to power a cinema-sized screen; you plug it in and let it reach a 5% charge before you even turn it on. In the same way, you don't heal a fractured will by attempting a marathon; you begin with a single, deliberate step. Every small agreement you honor with yourself acts as a high-value deposit into your personal "trust account. we will be documenting "micro-wins"—tiny, non-debatable ations performed daily. Use your dedicated chakra journal or a section in your preferred digital outliner or task management app. Label this area specifically for this developmental module. Choose one "low-stakes" action to perform daily that is entirely unrelated to your recovery or addiction. (e.g. sraightening your pillows, drinking 8 ounces of water, reading exactly one paragraph of a book, doing two minutes of stretching, etc) Prioritize that "Check-Mark": Be sure to mark the task as complete every single day. Resist the urge to make the task harder or longer for now. Your objective is to build a perfect record of "keeping your word," regardless of how small the task feels. Use the following affirmation in your log: "I committed to [Task] today, and I followed through. I am proving to myself that my word is a bond I can rely on."
If the Root is about survival and the Sacral is about feeling, the Solar Plexus is about action. Governed by the element of Fire and the color yellow, this energy center sits in the upper abdomen. Willpower, self-esteem, identity, and personal agency surrounding themes of this chakra. In active addiction, we constantly break promises to ourselves. This shatters our self-trust and leaves us feeling powerless, adopting the core identity of “addict.” Ihe work of the Solar Plexus, we will systematically rebuild that self-trust and forge a new, empowered identity, reclaiming your agency and shifting your identity from “addict” to an empowered creator of your own life. You are NOT your past behaviors. Self-trust, Willpower, Identity Realignment, and Agency. Goal: To prove to yourself that your word has value, and to shift your self-concept from someone who is at the mercy of their impulses to someone who commands their own life. The work of the Solar Plexus is to systematically rebuild that self-trust and forge a new, empowered identity. We will focus on self-trust, willpower, identity realignment, and agency to prove to ourselves that our word has value and shift our each of our self-concept from someone who is at the mercy of their impulses to someone who commands their own life.
I intent to open my own chakra healing and enlightening practice that aligns various journeys with the chakra systems. While I am passionate and educated on chakras, I have not had any actual training...
