Yoga for Solar Plexus Chakra and Throat Chakra

[Akira]

I currently have blocks in both of these chakra's I am currently doing yoga to help to clear them.

Does anyone know if yoga will help me to clear the issues completely and how long it will take to feel a difference in my body as a result of the Yoga that I am undertaking?

Any suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

my suggestion would be to try breathing exercises, particularly making sure that you're breathing with the diaphragm, starting with the lowest part of your lungs and working upward. You can honestly resolve a lot of internal problems and imbalances with frequent deep breathing exercise, particularly when you do it mindfully

as far as yoga, my understanding is that people often use some of these poses to work on the the solar plexus and throat chakras: plough, camel, fish, bridge, cobra, bow, and shoulder stand

let me know if you want any further ideas that might help. the best approach for you might depend on how you're experiencing them as "blocked"

Thanks for the advice ribiq - I know that they are blocked because I am working on being powerful at the moment and speaking my truth. I used to have the tendency of giving my power away by not speaking up for myself and letting people tell me how to think and be. i have now realized that I was/am doing this and I am taking steps to change this by acceptance and speaking my truth in a wise way. It is tough because I have been this way since childhood, however there are glimmers in my life of me being strong and working in alignment with these chakras. Therefore I am working on re-alighting this part of myself so that I can move forward in less pain. Giving power away and silencing can cause the pain body to ache and feel irritated. I am learning to recognize and move out of this. The yoga is helping and deep breathing does too.

Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated with this, my labour of love...

Thanks again

Hi Akira,
A good way to bring light into the solar plexus is through Huna magic, the spiritual system of the Hawaiian Kahuna priests. This isn't yoga per se but still an excellent diversion to empower (Manipura Chakra), the core of the personality and identity.

I'm not a deep student of the Polynesian mysteries but I did do some Huna meditation last week to bolster my mood before attending a job interview. Needless to say I got the job and felt good, that the interview went smoothly. Remembering to do a follow up meditation so as to compliment and praise the low self/unihipili.

Hi Kine
Can you tell me more about this. I'm intrigued. I have never really heard about it before, but anything that can help is definitely welcome.

Thank you
