Solar Chakra and Bergamot

5/28/2015

There has always been this idea of listening to ones own gut when trying to navigate changes in life. I often times remember being in situations where I was unsure of my next step and when I felt that twinge in my belly I knew it was time to go the other way. Our bodies regularly feel things before our minds and this sixth sense can gently guide us in the right direction. Therefore, how we feel does indeed play a huge role in our decision making process. The gut instinct comes from our Solar Chakra that governs our intestines, kidneys, liver and stomach. Therefore, a blocked Solar Chakra can lead to ailments like anxiety, poor digestion, irritability, depression and even eating disorders. When we radiate positive and healthy energy from this space we often feel self confident and emotionally balanced. Bergamot happens to be a fabulous essential oil for those suffering from stress and fatigue. The citrusy sweet aroma begins to lift the dark cloud that typically sits over those feeling depressed. Bergamot essential oil also contains a sedative quality that can help relieve hyperactivity and a racing mind. Bergamot essential oil may give immense relief to those suffering from an upset stomach by easing strain placed on the intestines. Insomnia can be all too familiar for those with Solar Chakra blockages due to a fearful mentality but this particular essential oil offers a reprieve from sleepless nights. Try diffusing 5-10 drops at bedtime in a cool and dark room for anyone dealing with issues related to interrupted sleep patterns. When we aren’t able to sleep our bodies aren’t able to heal and repair. Balance is largely the most important aspect of our health and working through our Chakras will help to maintain homeostasis throughout our bodies and minds. Remember that self-discovery is quite a tumultuous journey but it is only through this process that we truly begin to know ourselves, both the good and the bad. This, my friends is what balance is all about: accepting opposites equally.
