Victoria and I will be hosting thishour, so whatever you're doing, keep
(01:34):
listening. Today I'm going to reada story I found. It's actually a
fable and it reminds me of SundaySchool. Maybe you've even heard of it
before, but I just thought itwas really cute. So I'm going to
read that. I am interested inthis your ahead, and I found some
(02:00):
really interesting information to share about thisyear. It's a Saturn year, and
I just hope to give us allsome hope and excitement to look forward to
this twenty twenty four Trunk Formative year. Then we'll be learning all about the
solar plexus chakra. We've covered allthat I learned about the root chakra and
the sacral chakra, and now thethird is the solar plexus chakra. I've
(02:24):
been checking out chat GPT and it'samazing. It's so funny. I asked
it for a story about someone thatbenefits from sound healing and heals their solar
plexus, and I will read thatgreat story as well, it's really cool.
After that, I'm going to providesome sound healing along with the solveggio
(02:44):
tone for the solar plexus chakra,and I'm going to bathe you a little
longer this time. I think you'reready for more. And plus I have
my microphones working this month, sothe sound will resonate better. I think
last month there was some weird versusenergies that play. But here we are
in all happy Valentine's Day everybody.I'm also going to guide you in a
(03:08):
meditation about for the solar plexus andsend you floating on your favorite cloud all
day. But I think I'm justgoing to start with the old fable I
told you about. Once upon atime, a daughter complained to her father
that life was miserable and that shedidn't know how she was going to make
(03:30):
it. She was tired of strugglingall the time. It seemed like just
when something would get worked out,something else would happen. Her father was
a chef. He took her intothe kitchen. He filled three big pots
with water and put them on thestove and turned them on high fire.
Once the water started boiling, heplaced potatoes in one pot, eggs in
(03:54):
one pot, and coffee beans inthe third. He just lets them sit
there and boil. He did notsay a word to his daughter. The
daughter moaned, being impatient and wonderingwhat the heck was he doing. After
twenty minutes, he finally turned themoff. He took the potatoes out and
(04:14):
put them in a bowl. Hetook the eggs out and put them in
a bowl. He ladled some coffeeout into a cup. Turning to the
daughter, he asked, what doyou see potato, eggs and coffee.
She replied hastily. He told herto look closer and to touch the potatoes.
(04:36):
She did, noticing that they weresoft. Then he asked her to
touch the egg and crack it.She did, take the show off,
and inside had gotten hard. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee.
The rich aroma brought a smile toher face. Father, what does
this mean? The father explained howthe potato, eggs, and coffee had
(05:00):
all went through the boiling water experience. We are calling it adversity. They
went through the same thing, butthey all reacted differently. The potato went
in strong and hard, but thenit came out soft and weak. The
egg was fragile, with a thinouter shell protecting its inside liquid interior.
(05:21):
Once it was put into the boilingwater, the inside of the shell became
hard. However, the coffee beanswere unique. After they were exposed to
boiling water, they changed the waterand created something new, which one are
you, he asked his daughter.The moral of the story is in life,
(05:42):
things happen around us, and thingshappen to us. The only thing
that truly matters is how you chooseto react and what you make of it.
Life is about learning, adapting,and converting all of our struggles so
we can experience something positive, turnit positive. That's so cute and so
(06:05):
yeah, this year is twenty twentyfour. Pluto is in aquarius, and
I guess that only happens like ina rare. I don't know lifetime,
or maybe not a whole life ofit's a long time. So the quote
of the year is pretty intense.It says the unknown becomes the dominating feature
and it revolutionizes society. I thinkit's going to be some crazy things are
(06:29):
going to happen. But that's prettyintense. So I guess we're in for
some big changes and we're shifting intothe element of air. Air element will
be major for technology, fake newsand video domination, digital currency and UFO,
information innovation in cars. It's crazy. Everything can completely change in twenty
(06:54):
twenty four. It can be likea movie having a big finale leading into
a sequel. That's how this year'ssupposed to be. There could be struggles
with dominant people, like the powerpeople that hold the ones that get paid
more than everybody else for no reasonversus the truth. And because AI is
being so smart, it can decentralizethe power because it can prove how they're
(07:16):
not telling the truth. So thatwould lead to hopefully global shared power and
a more balanced distribution of income.So, yes, there's many planetary shifts
and we all should realize that we'regoing to have to face reality because transformation
is happening. Personally though, weshould transform one part of our lives.
And I don't think we're going tohave a choice, but if you choose
(07:40):
it, then that'll work out better. But be true to yourself. Have
patience, like if you're expecting somethingand if it's delayed, just no,
it's for a reason. And whatcan raise your vibration this year is laughter,
play and joy. These are yoursuperpowers. Now when I heard that,
(08:01):
I was just like, that isawesome, you know, so just
you can't control it, just playwith it, I guess. So now
we're going to go back to talkingabout the solar plexus chakra, which is
this tone right here. Our solarplexus chakra. The naval chakra is also
(08:30):
called the solar plexus chakra or simplythe third chakra. The central themes of
this chakra are willpower, self confidence, personality, self development, self control,
feelings, sensitivity, power, andforcefulness. Well that's a lot of
(08:54):
central things. Oh my gosh.A few other representation or that is symbolically
portrayed as a flower with ten petalsand fire is the primary element of the
solar plexus chakra. It is expressedin high levels of energy and animations.
Also, it corresponds with the planetMars, which is the red planet and
(09:20):
commonly associated with the element of fire. Think of bright sunlight filled with yellow
grain and yellow flowers and lava,which is kind of like liquid fire.
Although it is referred to as thenaval chakra, it doesn't lie right at
the navel, but just above betweenthe stomach and the breastbone. Its energy
(09:43):
is especially directed to the stomach,small intestine, and liver. It also
governs the spleen and gall batters.Amazingly, it regulates the digestive system and
the nervous system. Clearly, thisplays an important role in our digestive system,
So you know, the personality partsare very interesting to me. It
(10:07):
reminds me of kind of like astrology, but with chakras. Same with astrology
and numerology too. My readings arelike blueprints to my life, especially on
numerology. It's wild when I havethat well. The solar plexus chakra provides
the energy to develop a healthy personality. The health of your solar plexus can
affect self assurance in life and dependability. The zest for life and energy is
(10:33):
indispensable for developing self awareness, achievingone's goals, and actively engaging the one
surrounding. A harmonized solar plexus chakraleads to the right balance between the emotion
and the self control. Ways thatwe can activate and strengthen the solar plexus
(10:54):
would be to promote its harmonious unfoldingwith gemstones, aromatic oils, spices,
and plants. With a strong solarplexus chakra, we gain willpower and self
control, and success is not aproblem for people with a strength in this
(11:18):
chakra. People with personalities that goalong with this chakra exercise great influence on
the people that they are around andwherever they go. They're the ones that
set things in motion. And bringthem to their conclusion whatever profession they choose,
though they most certainly make a goof it, their leaders not followers.
(11:43):
They need to bear in mind thatthe drive to succeed carries certain responsibilities.
The greatest strength of these personalities istheir extraordinary willpower. They have an
abundant positive energy that is all governedby their third chakra. And see why
it's obvious to keep this chakra clear, and even if you don't have that
(12:05):
complete personality, it's good to recognizethose things and it helps on a daily
keep your chakras clean clear. Whenthis energy center is blocked, though serious
problems arise, sometimes you become selfaware and self esteem have their foundations and
the strength of this chakra. Thechallenges are also something to consider. All
(12:30):
this can change if not properly directingenergy to this chakra. So yeah,
many problems have their roots in thestomach and digestive or nervous system. For
those who suffer from illnesses that arecaused by a weakness in this chakra,
we are fortunate that there are manytechniques that will correct the problem and restore
(12:56):
your body's natural equilibrium. When theenergy of your solar plexus is weak or
inhibited, you should make it yourgoal to harmonize and strengthen it. Here
are some things that can happen thatwill help you know when you need to
work on your plexus chakra. Soif it's difficult for you to express your
(13:22):
feelings, start with some affirmation.If you have a hard time reaching your
goals, if you suffer from nightmaresor insomnia, if you're prone to stomach
problems, if you have aggressive tendencies. By activating your solar plexus chakra,
(13:43):
you will strengthen your character and increaseyour stamina. The color yellow stimulates the
naval chakra. Wearing yellow clothing ordecorating your house with yellow flowers are both
good ways to bring color into yourlife on a daily basis. Though.
Stay warm. Make sure that youbreathe, breathe from your stomach, and
(14:07):
that your exhalations are longer than yourinhalations, so it's just like breathing and
then slowly breath out. It relaxesyou did open yourself to the sun's power
and enjoy regular sunbathing. That's theother day I sat out on the swing
(14:28):
in the garden by my house andit was like so nice, just to
have the sun beating down, butit was still kind of chilly out and
learn how to express your emotions andthe overview here is the solar plexus is
associated with various aspects to personal power, confidence, and transformative energy of the
(14:50):
sun. The color of the solarplexus chakra is yellow and it's often represented
with the radiant energy of the sun. The element is fire. This element
is linked to the solar pleusta chakra, symbolizing transformation and burning a way of
(15:13):
impurities, energy, and vitality.It's considered the energy center. It's responsible
for vitality, will power in asense of self. When balanced, it
promotes a feeling of personal power,confidence, and motivation, and it is
the seat of emotions. This chakrais linked to emotions such as joy,
(15:35):
anger, and laughter, make ita vital center center for emotional expression with
that joy love in play. Thesolar plexus chakra is associated with the digestive
system. When balanced, is believedto contribute to healthy digestion and metabolism,
(15:56):
and the imbalances and blockages in thesolar plexus may manifest as feelings of powerlessness,
low self esteem, or a lackof direction in life. Excessive energy
in this chakra may lead to traitslike aggressiveness or a need to control others.
Empowerment and self confidence. A balancesolar plexus is crucial for a strong
(16:19):
sense of self worth and the abilityto take on challenges with confidence. Healing
practices like yoga, meditation, andspecific breathing exercises can help balance and activate
your solar plexus chakra, and thenincorporating yellow gemstones like yellow citrine or yellow
(16:42):
calcite is believed to support this chakrain healing and one of my favorites is
affirmations. Positive affirmations focusing on personalempowerment and self confidence. It can be
used to balance the solar plexus chakraand the symbol of the solar plexus chakra
typically consists of downward pointing triangle witha circle representing the transformative balancing energy of
(17:08):
this chakra and the connection to thesun. The solar plexus chakra is often
associated with the Sun, is apowerful symbol of energy, warmth and illumination.
Drawing energy from the Sun is consideredbeneficial for this chakra. I like
to call this the identity chakra.Traditionally, it provides our rights to act
(17:32):
and be empowered, as well asto utilize our mental capacities. As one
of our inbody chakras, the solarplexus chakra is the place where our self
esteem sits. It's how we viewthe world and how we feel the world
views us. It's the place werecognize where we stop and others start.
If we have a strong sense ofself, our physical, emotional, and
(17:55):
energetic boundaries tend to iterate this.If not, our boundaries can be weak
or non existence, and we mayfall into codependent patterns or engage in unhealthy
relationship dynamics with partners, families,and friends. Psychically, the solar plexus
chakra holds the gift of mental empathy. Mental empathy is when you can sense
(18:21):
another person's or animals thoughts in yourown body or mind. You may know
what someone else is going to saybefore they say it, or know what
someone is thinking before he or shevoices it. When you're around a certain
person, you may find your brainthinks or works in a different way,
mimicking theirs. This is a giftthat can be honed and developed. While
(18:44):
we never want to intrude on someone'sthoughts without their permission, integrity is vital.
It can be helpful tool to manysituations. Here are too quick games.
I'm just going to tell you oneto help you develop your mental gift
of empathy. We all have it, and it's called telepathy with color and
(19:07):
shapes. With someone you know andtrust, just ask them if they'll play
a game with you, and theycan be with you in person or on
the phone. And then ask yourfriends to think only in his or her
mind of a color and or ashape. You can do one category to
time if you prefer. Next,close your eyes and aim to clear your
mind. Take a deep breath inrelease it really slow, release logical thoughts,
(19:36):
and let the first thing that comesto your mind come out. Compare
that with what your friend's thinking,and then you can also practice this with
numbers for more complicated thoughts as youprogressed. So that is pretty cool.
I'm going to do that. Ithink I think I need to strengthen this.
(19:59):
Okay, her practice story this isthe one that Ai wrote for me.
Once upon a time in the vastdesert lands of Arizona, there lived
a young woman named Maya. Borninto a family deeply connected to nature and
(20:22):
spirituality, Maya always felt a strongaffinity for the energy that surrounded her.
Little did she know that her lifewas about to take a transformative turn.
As Maya embarked on her academic journey, she found herself drawn to the vibrant
cultures and ancient traditions of India.She decided to pursue her studies there,
(20:47):
eager to explore the rich tapestry andspiritual teachings that the country had to offer.
In India, Maya discovered profound connectionbetween the solar plextice, shops,
rests, and the well being ofthe digestive organs. The revelation came at
a time when she was grappling withhealth issues related to her own digestive system.
(21:11):
Her journey of self discovery led herto energy healing sessions and sound baths,
where she learned about the power ofvibrational frequencies in restoring balance to the
body and mind. Under the guidanceof wise mentors in India, Maya delved
into the practice of sound healing.She discovered that specific frequencies and harmonious vibrations
(21:37):
had the ability to clear blockages inthe solar plexus chakra, allowing energy to
flow freely through her body. Asshe embraced these ancient healing techniques, Maya
felt a profound shift within herself.Maya's days became harmonious blend of studies,
spiritual exploration, and healing sessions.She learned to attune herself to the frequencies
(22:02):
that resonate with her solar plexus chakra, fostering a sense of balance and well
being. The transformative effects rippled throughher entire being, not only alleviating her
digestive issues, but also bringing anew found clarity to her mind. One
day, under the scarlet sky ofthe Arizona Desert, Maya shared her journey
(22:26):
with her family. They too embracedthe healing practices. Together, they attend
sound bass, creating a familial bondthrough the shared experience of energy healing.
Maya's story spread far and wide,inspiring others to explore the connection between their
energetic centers and physical well being.Her journey from the arid landscapes of Arizona
(22:49):
to the spiritual haven of India becamea testament to the universal wisdom that transcends
borders and cultures, and so Maya'slife became a symphony of healing vibrations resonating
with the ancient rhythms of the cosmos, and she continued to explore the boundless
possibilities of sound healing and its transformativeeffects on the human spirit. I just
(23:15):
think that's amazing. Now for somesound healing and meditation s. This stand
(26:22):
anything by and he grew stat orpectus in my heart blund way or this
(35:19):
is a fuller plexus and the sacralstaring at above and below. Good day
to express your feelings openly. Youshould not have a problem after this and
(36:09):
the rip chamers your first time onfoo. So this is a sound bath
(38:29):
and it's a meditative experience where thosein attendance are bathed in sound waves.
These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments like gongs, singing
bulls, percussions, chimes, rattles, even the human voice itself. There's
(38:50):
nothing particularly special you need to dowhen having a sound bath or preparing for
a soundbath. It's recommended that you'dbe well hydrated because water travels through vibrations.
It travels much better through water.Stress comfortable. You don't have to
(39:12):
lie on the mat. You canlay any positions that you'd like. Sometimes
it can be extremely clawing and restinducing, where others can create a sensation
of tension where stress release is happening. Stress leaving the body can sometimes feel
(39:32):
like experiencing stress. Exhale and bewitnessed to the work the sound is doing.
It can change each soundbacks you attend, and each day you can notice
different things. It's okay to addresspositions and just become part of the soundbacks
(39:59):
and enjoy m Lets the sounds makeyou lose jock of time. Sometimes you
can feel like you're gonna relaxed,translate, just become calm and lets the
magic happen. Any summer, littlebucket s S I s this meditation that
(43:50):
I'm going to do games to promotea sense of empowerment and balance within the
solar plexus chakra. Begin by stayingin the comfortable position that you're in with
your eyes closed, and take afew deep breaths inhaling through your nose and
(44:12):
exhaling through your mouth. Allow eachbreath to relax you more deeply. Imagine
roots extending from the base of yourspine, reaching down into the earth.
(44:34):
Feel these roots surrounding you, connectingyou to the stable and supportive energy of
the Earth. Next, bring yourattention to the area just above your navel,
(44:55):
where the solar plexus resides. Visualizea glowing ball of warm golden light
in this area. With each breath, allow this light to grow brighter,
(45:22):
filling your entire abdominal regions. Envisiona radiant sun above your head, shining
down with a brilliant yellow light.Feel its energy and warm as it bathes
(45:50):
your entire beings. Sense the connectionbetween the sun above and the golden light
within your solar plexus. Breathing incomfidence. Inhaled deeply, drawing in the empowering
(46:21):
energy of the sense. As youexhale, release any doubts or insecurities,
and with each breast, the solarplexus chakra says it becoming more vibrant and
balance. Breathing, breathe out,repeat, silently, or allowed. These
(46:57):
affirmations relating related to the personal powerand confidence. I am strong and confident,
I trust in my abilities. Iam worthy of success and joy.
(47:37):
Now, imagine a time in yourlife when you felt strong, confidence and
in control. Picture the scene inDigiD detail. Recall the emotions and sensations
associated with that moment. Now tobalance the energy Visualize a balancing scale within
(48:08):
your solar plexus chakra. On oneside, place any feelings of self doubt
or insecurity. On the other side, place the feelings of confidence, empowerment,
and enjoy. Witness the scale balancingwith the positive energies outweighing the negative.
(48:45):
Slowly bring your awareness back to thepresent moment. Feel the support of
the earth beneath you and the warmthof the sun above. Express gratitude for
(49:08):
the strength and confidence that resides inyou, and, when you're ready,
gently open your eyes. Take amoment to reorient yourself to your surroundings.
(49:34):
I'm going to play some bulls.I have a few more minutes. Look
(50:43):
for things that excite your interests tomake plenty of room for them in your
life. This year, remember thejoy and be playful. No reason to
worry the unhappy. Remember to trythat telepathy game with one of your friends.

(08:54):
central things. Oh my gosh.A few other representation or that is symbolically
portrayed as a flower with ten petalsand fire is the primary element of the
solar plexus chakra. It is expressedin high levels of energy and animations.
Also, it corresponds with the planetMars, which is the red planet and
(09:20):
commonly associated with the element of fire. Think of bright sunlight filled with yellow
grain and yellow flowers and lava,which is kind of like liquid fire.
Although it is referred to as thenaval chakra, it doesn't lie right at
the navel, but just above betweenthe stomach and the breastbone. Its energy
(09:43):
is especially directed to the stomach,small intestine, and liver. It also
governs the spleen and gall batters.Amazingly, it regulates the digestive system and
the nervous system. Clearly, thisplays an important role in our digestive system,
So you know, the personality partsare very interesting to me. It
(10:07):
reminds me of kind of like astrology, but with chakras. Same with astrology
and numerology too. My readings arelike blueprints to my life, especially on
numerology. It's wild when I havethat well. The solar plexus chakra provides
the energy to develop a healthy personality. The health of your solar plexus can
affect self assurance in life and dependability. The zest for life and energy is
(10:33):
indispensable for developing self awareness, achievingone's goals, and actively engaging the one
surrounding. A harmonized solar plexus chakraleads to the right balance between the emotion
and the self control. Ways thatwe can activate and strengthen the solar plexus
(10:54):
would be to promote its harmonious unfoldingwith gemstones, aromatic oils, spices,
and plants. With a strong solarplexus chakra, we gain willpower and self
control, and success is not aproblem for people with a strength in this
(11:18):
chakra. People with personalities that goalong with this chakra exercise great influence on
the people that they are around andwherever they go. They're the ones that
set things in motion. And bringthem to their conclusion whatever profession they choose,
though they most certainly make a goof it, their leaders not followers.
(11:43):
They need to bear in mind thatthe drive to succeed carries certain responsibilities.
The greatest strength of these personalities istheir extraordinary willpower. They have an
abundant positive energy that is all governedby their third chakra. And see why
it's obvious to keep this chakra clear, and even if you don't have that
(12:05):
complete personality, it's good to recognizethose things and it helps on a daily
keep your chakras clean clear. Whenthis energy center is blocked, though serious
problems arise, sometimes you become selfaware and self esteem have their foundations and
the strength of this chakra. Thechallenges are also something to consider. All
(12:30):
this can change if not properly directingenergy to this chakra. So yeah,
many problems have their roots in thestomach and digestive or nervous system. For
those who suffer from illnesses that arecaused by a weakness in this chakra,
we are fortunate that there are manytechniques that will correct the problem and restore
(12:56):
your body's natural equilibrium. When theenergy of your solar plexus is weak or
inhibited, you should make it yourgoal to harmonize and strengthen it. Here
are some things that can happen thatwill help you know when you need to
work on your plexus chakra. Soif it's difficult for you to express your
(13:22):
feelings, start with some affirmation.If you have a hard time reaching your
goals, if you suffer from nightmaresor insomnia, if you're prone to stomach
problems, if you have aggressive tendencies. By activating your solar plexus chakra,
(13:43):
you will strengthen your character and increaseyour stamina. The color yellow stimulates the
naval chakra. Wearing yellow clothing ordecorating your house with yellow flowers are both
good ways to bring color into yourlife on a daily basis. Though.
Stay warm. Make sure that youbreathe, breathe from your stomach, and
(14:07):
that your exhalations are longer than yourinhalations, so it's just like breathing and
then slowly breath out. It relaxesyou did open yourself to the sun's power
and enjoy regular sunbathing. That's theother day I sat out on the swing
(14:28):
in the garden by my house andit was like so nice, just to
have the sun beating down, butit was still kind of chilly out and
learn how to express your emotions andthe overview here is the solar plexus is
associated with various aspects to personal power, confidence, and transformative energy of the
(14:50):
sun. The color of the solarplexus chakra is yellow and it's often represented
with the radiant energy of the sun. The element is fire. This element
is linked to the solar pleusta chakra, symbolizing transformation and burning a way of
(15:13):
impurities, energy, and vitality.It's considered the energy center. It's responsible
for vitality, will power in asense of self. When balanced, it
promotes a feeling of personal power,confidence, and motivation, and it is
the seat of emotions. This chakrais linked to emotions such as joy,
(15:35):
anger, and laughter, make ita vital center center for emotional expression with
that joy love in play. Thesolar plexus chakra is associated with the digestive
system. When balanced, is believedto contribute to healthy digestion and metabolism,
(15:56):
and the imbalances and blockages in thesolar plexus may manifest as feelings of powerlessness,
low self esteem, or a lackof direction in life. Excessive energy
in this chakra may lead to traitslike aggressiveness or a need to control others.
Empowerment and self confidence. A balancesolar plexus is crucial for a strong
(16:19):
sense of self worth and the abilityto take on challenges with confidence. Healing
practices like yoga, meditation, andspecific breathing exercises can help balance and activate
your solar plexus chakra, and thenincorporating yellow gemstones like yellow citrine or yellow
(16:42):
calcite is believed to support this chakrain healing and one of my favorites is
affirmations. Positive affirmations focusing on personalempowerment and self confidence. It can be
used to balance the solar plexus chakraand the symbol of the solar plexus chakra
typically consists of downward pointing triangle witha circle representing the transformative balancing energy of
(17:08):
this chakra and the connection to thesun. The solar plexus chakra is often
associated with the Sun, is apowerful symbol of energy, warmth and illumination.
Drawing energy from the Sun is consideredbeneficial for this chakra. I like
to call this the identity chakra.Traditionally, it provides our rights to act
(17:32):
and be empowered, as well asto utilize our mental capacities. As one
of our inbody chakras, the solarplexus chakra is the place where our self
esteem sits. It's how we viewthe world and how we feel the world
views us. It's the place werecognize where we stop and others start.
If we have a strong sense ofself, our physical, emotional, and
(17:55):
energetic boundaries tend to iterate this.If not, our boundaries can be weak
or non existence, and we mayfall into codependent patterns or engage in unhealthy
relationship dynamics with partners, families,and friends. Psychically, the solar plexus
chakra holds the gift of mental empathy. Mental empathy is when you can sense
(18:21):
another person's or animals thoughts in yourown body or mind. You may know
what someone else is going to saybefore they say it, or know what
someone is thinking before he or shevoices it. When you're around a certain
person, you may find your brainthinks or works in a different way,
mimicking theirs. This is a giftthat can be honed and developed. While
(18:44):
we never want to intrude on someone'sthoughts without their permission, integrity is vital.
It can be helpful tool to manysituations. Here are too quick games.
I'm just going to tell you oneto help you develop your mental gift
of empathy. We all have it, and it's called telepathy with color and
(19:07):
shapes. With someone you know andtrust, just ask them if they'll play
a game with you, and theycan be with you in person or on
the phone. And then ask yourfriends to think only in his or her
mind of a color and or ashape. You can do one category to
time if you prefer. Next,close your eyes and aim to clear your
mind. Take a deep breath inrelease it really slow, release logical thoughts,
(19:36):
and let the first thing that comesto your mind come out. Compare
that with what your friend's thinking,and then you can also practice this with
numbers for more complicated thoughts as youprogressed. So that is pretty cool.
I'm going to do that. Ithink I think I need to strengthen this.
(19:59):
Okay, her practice story this isthe one that Ai wrote for me.
Once upon a time in the vastdesert lands of Arizona, there lived
a young woman named Maya. Borninto a family deeply connected to nature and
(20:22):
spirituality, Maya always felt a strongaffinity for the energy that surrounded her.
Little did she know that her lifewas about to take a transformative turn.
As Maya embarked on her academic journey, she found herself drawn to the vibrant
cultures and ancient traditions of India.She decided to pursue her studies there,
(20:47):
eager to explore the rich tapestry andspiritual teachings that the country had to offer.
In India, Maya discovered profound connectionbetween the solar plextice, shops,
rests, and the well being ofthe digestive organs. The revelation came at
a time when she was grappling withhealth issues related to her own digestive system.
(21:11):
Her journey of self discovery led herto energy healing sessions and sound baths,
where she learned about the power ofvibrational frequencies in restoring balance to the
body and mind. Under the guidanceof wise mentors in India, Maya delved
into the practice of sound healing.She discovered that specific frequencies and harmonious vibrations
(21:37):
had the ability to clear blockages inthe solar plexus chakra, allowing energy to
flow freely through her body. Asshe embraced these ancient healing techniques, Maya
felt a profound shift within herself.Maya's days became harmonious blend of studies,
spiritual exploration, and healing sessions.She learned to attune herself to the frequencies
(22:02):
that resonate with her solar plexus chakra, fostering a sense of balance and well
being. The transformative effects rippled throughher entire being, not only alleviating her
digestive issues, but also bringing anew found clarity to her mind. One
day, under the scarlet sky ofthe Arizona Desert, Maya shared her journey
(22:26):
with her family. They too embracedthe healing practices. Together, they attend
sound bass, creating a familial bondthrough the shared experience of energy healing.
Maya's story spread far and wide,inspiring others to explore the connection between their
energetic centers and physical well being.Her journey from the arid landscapes of Arizona
(22:49):
to the spiritual haven of India becamea testament to the universal wisdom that transcends
borders and cultures, and so Maya'slife became a symphony of healing vibrations resonating
with the ancient rhythms of the cosmos, and she continued to explore the boundless
possibilities of sound healing and its transformativeeffects on the human spirit. I just

the rip chamers your first time onfoo. So this is a sound bath
(38:29):
and it's a meditative experience where thosein attendance are bathed in sound waves.
These waves are produced by various sources, including healing instruments like gongs, singing
bulls, percussions, chimes, rattles, even the human voice itself. There's
(38:50):
nothing particularly special you need to dowhen having a sound bath or preparing for
a soundbath. It's recommended that you'dbe well hydrated because water travels through vibrations.
It travels much better through water.Stress comfortable. You don't have to

it can be extremely clawing and restinducing, where others can create a sensation
of tension where stress release is happening. Stress leaving the body can sometimes feel
(39:32):
like experiencing stress. Exhale and bewitnessed to the work the sound is doing.
It can change each soundbacks you attend, and each day you can notice

(43:50):
I'm going to do games to promotea sense of empowerment and balance within the
solar plexus chakra. Begin by stayingin the comfortable position that you're in with
your eyes closed, and take afew deep breaths inhaling through your nose and
(44:12):
exhaling through your mouth. Allow eachbreath to relax you more deeply. Imagine
roots extending from the base of yourspine, reaching down into the earth.
(44:34):
Feel these roots surrounding you, connectingyou to the stable and supportive energy of
the Earth. Next, bring yourattention to the area just above your navel,
(44:55):
where the solar plexus resides. Visualizea glowing ball of warm golden light
in this area. With each breath, allow this light to grow brighter,
(45:22):
filling your entire abdominal regions. Envisiona radiant sun above your head, shining
down with a brilliant yellow light.Feel its energy and warm as it bathes
(45:50):
your entire beings. Sense the connectionbetween the sun above and the golden light
within your solar plexus. Breathing incomfidence. Inhaled deeply, drawing in the empowering
(46:21):
energy of the sense. As youexhale, release any doubts or insecurities,
and with each breast, the solarplexus chakra says it becoming more vibrant and
balance. Breathing, breathe out,repeat, silently, or allowed. These
(46:57):
affirmations relating related to the personal powerand confidence. I am strong and confident,
I trust in my abilities. Iam worthy of success and joy.
(47:37):
Now, imagine a time in yourlife when you felt strong, confidence and
in control. Picture the scene inDigiD detail. Recall the emotions and sensations
associated with that moment. Now tobalance the energy Visualize a balancing scale within
(48:08):
your solar plexus chakra. On oneside, place any feelings of self doubt
or insecurity. On the other side, place the feelings of confidence, empowerment,
and enjoy. Witness the scale balancingwith the positive energies outweighing the negative.
(48:45):
Slowly bring your awareness back to thepresent moment. Feel the support of
the earth beneath you and the warmthof the sun above. Express gratitude for

the strength and confidence that resides inyou, and, when you're ready,
gently open your eyes. Take amoment to reorient yourself to your surroundings.
