Pancreas and the Solar Plexus Connection
The location of the pancreas gland is just behind and above the navel area and below the sternum. Spiritually and energetically the pancreas gland is associated with the solar plexus as it is located in the stomach region. So this makes for an easy alignment to your pancreas gland health.
What does the pancreas gland do?
2 important functions that this organ provides. An exocrine function that aids in digestion, releasing enzymes to partially digested food particles. And an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar. Think energy metabolism.
Manipura in Sanskrit
Manipura translates to ‘lustrous gem.’ Known as a fire element, the third chakra on the energy wheel, the color yellow is associated with this powerful chakra. Qualities associated with the solar plexus is the power and autonomy of metabolism.
This area connects the seat of your power, the digestive fire that regulates functions for processing the energy food intake. This giving you the highs and lows with blood sugar regulation. You experience this when you feel a sugar rush or your energy drops. Think eating a bowl of pasta, (starchy foods), feeling a burst of energy, then you feel tired and sleepy, perhaps even irritable. So invite foods that cleanse and balance your pancreas for balance of energy.

Foster Self-confidence
Seek balance in your solar plexus to avoid insecure thoughts and or attention hogging behavior. Overly sensitive to comments and indecision may stem from not having your solar plexus activated and balanced. When your solar plexus chakra is properly balanced, you will feel self-confident and secure. Be at peace with yourself, your emotions, and your surroundings. You will feel at home in your place in the universe. Translating your intentions and desires by manifestation with affirmations you set forth, learn to gain control of the seat of your power.
