2. THE SACRED FREQUENCIES
Sacred frequencies are particular frequencies that influence our energy bodies. The sacred frequency 528 Hertz is the sacred frequency directly influencing the energy of our solar plexus chakra. All you need to do is start a recording of the frequency 528 Hertz, while you meditate, or just while you cook, play sports … It doesn’t matter! You will find various recordings of this frequency online.
3. ESSENTIAL OILS
In many cultures, it is said that plants have a soul… One thing is certain, the vibration of plants is a pure and very high vibration, so let’s not deprive ourselves of it! All you need to do is place a few drops of the essential oil on your two wrists, and rub them against each other for a few minutes. (be careful, never put pure essential oil directly on your skin, diluted first with vegetable oil). Because the skin on our wrists is very thin, the oil will be absorbed into your body more quickly. You can use chamomile essential oil, or find essential oil blends specific to the solar plexus chakra commercially.
