🔆 7 Days of Kundalini Yoga Practice – Day 3: Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) 🔆

Welcome to Day 3 of our Kundalini Yoga journey! 🌿

We have grounded ourselves in stability with the Root Chakra 🌍, opened the flow of creativity with the Sacral Chakra 🌊, and today we rise to the Solar Plexus Chakra – Manipura 🔆, the fiery center of personal power, confidence, and will.

🔥 What is the Solar Plexus Chakra?

The Solar Plexus Chakra, or Manipura, is located at the navel. It is the home of our inner fire (Agni) and governs willpower, transformation, courage, and self-confidence.

• Element: Fire 🔥

• Qualities when balanced: Strength, clarity, purpose, confidence, and energy.

• Signs of imbalance: Low self-esteem, fear, digestive issues, lack of motivation.

When Manipura is awakened, you step into your authentic power and radiate inner strength.

✨ Day 3 Kundalini Practices for the Solar Plexus.

Here are three practices to ignite your inner fire and strengthen Manipura:

1️⃣ Ego Eradicator with Breath of Fire.

• Sit tall in a comfortable posture.

• Extend arms at a 60° angle above your head, fingers curled into palms, thumbs pointing upward.

• Close your eyes and practice Breath of Fire (rapid, rhythmic breathing through the nose).

• Continue for 1–2 minutes, then inhale deeply, touch thumbs together overhead, and exhale to release.

This awakens the navel center and burns away sluggish energy.

2️⃣ Mantra Practice – Om Namah Shivaya.

• Sit comfortably, focus your awareness at the navel.

• Chant “Om Namah Shivaya” for 3 minutes.

• Feel the sound vibrating through your solar plexus, empowering your inner will.

3️⃣ Core Activation (Navasana Variation).

• Sit on the floor with legs stretched forward.

• Lean back slightly, lift your feet a few inches off the ground, and engage your core.

• Hold for 30 seconds, relax, and repeat 2–3 times.

This strengthens Manipura and builds inner resilience.

📝 Journal Prompt for Day 3

Take time to reflect after your practice:

“Where in my life can I step more fully into my personal power and confidence?”

💫 Closing Reflection

As you complete Day 3, honor the fire within you. 🔥

The Solar Plexus Chakra reminds us that true power is not control. It is the courage to live authentically, to act with clarity, and to shine your inner light into the world.

✨ Practice these exercises whenever you feel low in energy or self-belief.

Tomorrow we rise to the Heart Chakra (Anahata).💚 The seat of compassion, love, and connection.
