Gut Instinct

We all have it, that nagging sensation in the pit of our stomach telling us somethings not right.  That's your Solar Plexus Chakra acting up.  Telling you "not a good idea" what ever it is you're planning. 

Our bodies are full of chakras but there are seven most commonly known and used in meditation to help balance the body mind and soul.  I'm just talking about the solar plexus chakra, situated right under your rib cage in the centre of your abdomen.

The colour associated with solar plexus chakra is yellow.  It's responsible for mental understanding of emotional life, in it's most basic definition.  It's your gut instinct your intuition, when you feel it pay attention because it's trying to tell you something.  If a situation doesn't sit well with you then don't proceed.  The job of the solar plexus chakra is to keep us from getting in over our heads and it does it's job well, if you listen.

It can also warn you of events up coming.  I remember when my grandfather died, he had a heart attack the night before and all that day I had an unmistakable feeling of dread centered in my solar plexus chakra.  I knew something bad was going to happen I just didn't know what.  Sure enough I got a call in the middle of the night with the bad news.  The feeling vanished soon after I hung up the phone and my heart chakra kicked in.

When I was taking my mediumship training we did a lot of work with chakras every meditation.  It got to the point where I could pick up on other peoples issues within my own chakras.  I recall standing in line at Rogers Video and the guy in front of me had an arm full of videos.  He was in front of me but took a step back suddenly into my personal space.  For me that's about a two foot radius.  Immediately my solar plexus felt icky.  I went in right away to have a look and I visualized a putrid yellow egg shape with brown splotches all over it. 

Knowing this wasn't good I set to work clearing it.  Sending the brown splotches to the universe and polishing the yellow until it shone.  I felt better quickly but was concerned that I had done this without consulting the guy in front of me, after all it was caused by his chakra.  I asked my trainer later that week when I saw her and she explained that sometimes we have to do these things because of the physical effect on us personally.  Normally yes I should ask, but in this case it wasn't possible and the out come of the cleansing would serve to help him not hurt him.

We surmised from his greasy disheveled appearance and the stack of videos that he probably need more than just his solar plexus cleansed but that's all I could fix.  I just hope it did even if for a little while, I'll never know.  I felt better for it afterwards so I assume he did too.

Needless to say, listening to your gut is so very important.  Recently I made very big life decision based on how my solar plexus chakra was acting leading up to said decision.  When I really assessed the situation and changed my direction with it everything settled down and began to "feel" right.  And every day since it's been really good.  I'm confident that the direction I had originally chose would have spelt disaster for not only me but those closest to me.  Making this change and following my gut was the best decision I have made in a really long time.

Listening is not hard, following through is the though one.  If you feel sick to your stomach because of a decision you need to make, think about the same decision in reverse or opposite to what you are planning and check in to see how your solar plexus is responding.  If it feels better, that's the right decision no matter if it's what you think you want.  Sometimes our brains are not the best judge of what's good for us. Sometimes the Universe steps in and puts you back on the right path.  You can't go wrong if you listen it may not seem right for you at the moment but in the long run it always is.

With much love, light and guidance,
