FOOD AND EATING ACTIVITIES TO BALA NCE THE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA

Determine if and which foods have “power” over you. For example, do you feel drawn to eat certain foods to give you energy? Are there foods you would cave in to? Do some foods make you feel “powerless” after you eat them because they have robbed you of your vital energy? Try for yourself to explore your power relationship with foods and see if you can come up with solutions to become more power-full without the use of food.

Examine the sweetness level in your life. Give it a score from 1 to 10 with 10 being most sweet and full of joy. What does your score say? Does your sweetness level need adjustment? List five things other than food that nourish your solar plexus chakra's need for sweetness.

Make a list of where your energy is being spent when it comes to foods and eating. Note whether you overeat, don't eat enough, or eat rapidly. Do you spend too much time preparing meals or too little? Do you rush in and out of the grocery store, or do you find yourself in a time warp, getting lost in the multitude of aisles of products?

Do you eat mindlessly? What do you find yourself doing or even thinking while eating? Observe what brings you into focus and concentration when eating.

Practice mindful eating with one item of food daily.

Experience food as poetry. Write a food and eating haiku (five syllables first verse, seven syllables second verse, five syllables last verse). Here is an example:

Strawberry divine

Like a living heart blossom

Each bite full of joy

Journal a page on how stress jeopardizes your eating. Think of three ways to combat stress, and implement one way per week. How do you feel at the end of the month? What in your life has shifted?
