Solar Plexus Chakra Balancing Cream

Do you ever feel drained by others?

Digestive/stomach issues?

Angry?

Frustrated?

The Solar Plexus chakra is to do with our personal boundaries, ego, self esteem and feeling “worthy”. It is also about inner radiance, self-confidence and humour. It is the point of digestion on all levels, whether it is nourishment in the form of food, or an idea/situation.

Solar Plexus is a good starting point for your personal collection (toolkit), the oils in this cream dispel self-criticism, lighten the heart and refresh the spirit. Made locally by Sarah Williams of Organic Aromatherapy this cream is one of a whole collection available in store.

This cream may be likened to your own personal internal ball of sunshine, radiating warmth and brightness, especially important during the darker months of winter.

Personal Boundaries:

Creating and maintaining healthy boundaries is a life skill. It requires a confidence that allows us to feel as though we deserve to be respected, and though it seems many of us are born with it, often it slowly wanes over time. As our childish innocence falls to the side, we try to figure out who to be, how to be, and what to believe.

The trust we have in ourselves dwindles as we become more insecure and vulnerable to judgements, made both by others and ourselves, which in turn causes us to give our power away. We struggle to understand our value, to find a clear path to acceptability in the world around us. The constant bombardment of ‘look this way’ and ‘talk that way’ threatens to undermine creativity and self expression, while the access we have to each other’s personal lives gives free rein to an overwhelming amount of unsolicited advice. Despite that, our boundaries are still there, hidden within us, waiting only for the time when we will recognize them. When we bring them into consciousness we start to believe that it’s okay to have them. We all know what lines we want others to respect and value, no matter how adept we are at enforcing them.

We allow ourselves to get lost in the chaos surrounding us—whether we’ve had a hand in creating it or not – and berate ourselves for not being up to the impossible task of meeting everyone else’s expectations. So often, guilt, the very thought of telling people no, stops us in our tracks.

Something as simple as telling our loved ones that we don’t want to be touched, talked to, or interrupted seems too bold, too rude. But is it?

When we consider the repercussions of allowing others to push and take without relief, we are worse for it. And have less to give, both to ourselves and to our community. There is no joy in a person who has no say in their own life. And without joy there can be very little love to share. We inadvertently give control to whoever is willing to take it, all the while perhaps taking the same from others in the name of trying to help them.
