Ignite your core Recipe
Next stop on our chakra journey is the Solar Plexus; also known as Manipura. The associated color with this chakra is yellow, and therefore the new recipe for this chakra is also a wonderful mix of yellow nutritious goodness! Our solar plexus is located in our abdomen (another reason to work out your core!) and appropriately affects your stomach and digestive system. This lustrous gem is the center of your will power and confidence. It is what keeps us feeling motivated and valued, with a healthy sense of purpose.
So when you are feeling out of balance within these areas, or notice that someone else in your life may need some attention to this area, this recipe may be able to help! Since the element of this chakra is fire, the option to make this salsa HOT with some jalapeños would be an excellent addition to activate the digestive system.
