Hampton Solar Plexus Chakra Workshop - Build Your Inner Strength

https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/8/b/8/9/600_464315721.jpeg

Our workshop is designed to work on the solar plexus chakra and physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental aspects related to this chakra.

This workshop will layer different spiritually uplifting modalities to achieve a more profound effect. We have designed these modalities to compliment each other and take participants on a deep inner journey.

Solar plexus chakra (Manipura) is located at the solar plexus, the upper part of the belly where the diaphragm is located (in some traditions, solar plexus chakra is located in the navel area). It is linked to will power, motivation, and drive in life. It is about how we position ourselves in life, our confidence and inner strength.

On a physical level, solar plexus chakra is associated with digestive fire and metabolism. The element associated with the chakra is fire, which is all about transformation and creating heat, which is closely related to the processes of digestions and metabolism. It is also thought to be connected to the energy of sun, heat, and light. In some traditions, it is also linked to air element.

On an emotional level, this chakra is linked to confidence, willpower, courage, motivation, taking control and responsibility of one's life, the intellect, decisiveness, finding one way and following it, clarity of judgments, one's personality, independence, and self-control.

On a spiritual level, solar plexus has a major importance. It is the drive behind our actions, our inner fire (Agni), our motivation to grow and develop. Without strengthening the solar plexus chakra it is very hard, or even impossible, to develop spirituality, which needs constant dedication to the path, self-discipline, independence, motivation, and inner strength to overcome obstacles on the path.

If weak, one can experience problems with digestion and/or metabolism, lack of motivation, fear, dependency issues, lack of clarity on the path and/or in decision-making, lack of self-esteem, arrogance, anger, frustration, stress, anxiety, lack of self-discipline, inability to form one's own opinion and beliefs, lack of direction in life, problems with self-image and/or social status, feeling helpless, excessive control over people and/or situations, being manipulative and/or misusing power, being nervous and/or obsessed with minute details, inability to realise one's plans and ideas, lack of purpose in life.

The format of the workshop - what to expect

We will start with chanting and yoga practices designed to relax and release tensions.

We will focus on the solar plexus chakra through stimulating and releasing yoga postures, rejuvenating breathing techniques, releasing chanting practices, and cleansing and healing sound therapy techniques. We hope you will feel an emotional release and sense of rejuvenation, together with energetic upliftment.

As a gentle introduction, we will play the gong gently in the background to help open the physical layers of the body during some of the yoga postures. Subtle gong sounds will complement the yoga; as you move the gong will encourage energy flow to the stretched areas of the body.

Following the yoga, chanting, and pranayama (breathing exercises) we will start the extended sound bath. You will not be required to do anything at this point - simply relax on your mat and enjoy. We will use a combination of different instruments including our gong, drums, Shamanic Rattle, and crystal bowl to create a profound, and powerful experience.

We will finish the session with a group discussion and free organic tea. You will have an opportunity to share your experience with others and ask any questions at this point.
