Five Things You Can Do To Strengthen Your Third Chakra1.ReflectionReflect on gardening. Notice what your proper role is as a gardener in growing life. It is a partnership between you and Life. There is only so much you can do and most of it is done by Life. Its probably about 1% you and 99% Life; and yet without your 1% nothing but weeds would grow. Apply this to your life and your goals and projects and everything you are taking on that is causing you to feel stressed and trust Life more and relax and just refocus on what your 1% role is.1.RedefinitionFocus less on accomplishment and more on contribution. Accomplishment is what makes the ego feel valued. Contribution is what the soul is designed to do. Accomplishment is completely attached to outcome whereas contribution is not attached to outcome but is a reward in and of itself.3.SoundVibrationIntone the ah vowel sound and feel the vibration in your solar plexus area as you hold out the sound and imagine a bright yellow sun radiating from your solar plexus and sending healing and balancing energy to the vital organs supported by your Third Chakra.4.Chakra BreathDo the Breath of Fire. The Breath of Fire is a rapid breath through the nose into the solar plexus. Two cycles per second is about the right speed. In out, in out in one second. Originate the muscle pumping movement from your solar plexus and let the breath just come in and out by itself. Do this for one minute whenever you are feeling low energy and it will recharge you.5.Yoga AsanaPerform the Washing Machine yoga asana (see illustration).

Sit cross-legged on the floor. Raise both arms to the square and touch the first finger and thumbs of each hand. Now rotate your entire upper body at the waist to the left as you breathe in and then to the right as you breathe out. Go back and forth in this motion for thirty to sixty seconds. You are literally cleansing your liver (your bodys primary detoxification organ) as you do this- like squeezing dirty water out of a wet sponge.
