A lot of information about gluten has been doing rounds in the health and wellness industry since more than a decade. Gluten is said to directly impact the solar plexus chakra which comes right below the breastbone,responsible for optimum digestive functioning and keeping the digestive fire stimulated.
Gluten creates a severe congestion in the energy body that further,creates a severe blockage in the chakras and increases risk of disease that can lead to fatality.
The solar plexus chakra governs the area of sense of identity,functioning of the digestive system and emotional regulation. When gluten is consumed,the solar plexus chakra gets inflammed,as it represents the fire element in the body. A vast energetic disruption is created in the 'digestive' fire that imbalances the Manipura Chakra. In the spiritual scriptures,the fire in our Manipura Chakra allows us to receive information from the outside world. Gluten consumption blocks "the fire in the belly" motion that results in indecisiveness,lack of boundaries and low self esteem.
Moving ahead, I would like to discuss about how gluten impacts stress spikes. Stress thwarts the solar plexus chakra's ability to convert food into energy that the body uses to carry out the day to day functioning. Stress responses in our body decreases blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract that results in poor nutrition absorption,further leading to indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome and constipation symptoms. Once the Manipura Chakra blocks the flow of energy across the body, a range of disorders impact the spiritual and physical body in the form of chronic fatigue,lack of motivation,anger and irritability,lower back pain and need for validation.
There is a level of disruption in the Third Eye Chakra,on consumption of gluten produce. The Ajna Chakra is responsible for intuition and wisdom of the soul. People with gluten sensitivity report brain fog and lack of mental agility due to the inflammation in the gut-brain axis.
Being the nerve centre hub,the solar plexus chakra is responsible of sending messages between the gut and the brain. If the body holds stress,the stress responses kick the branches of the solar plexus chakra into fight or flight mode that creates an imbalance in the nervous system,resulting in gut health issues.
Concluding the article,gluten does create energetic blocks in the chakra system overtime. Reducing or slowing eliminating gluten consumption supports the energy body to awaken faster rather than focusing on constant repairing the damage gluten does to the body. Thus,the awakening of the energy body creates a more stress-free body with implicit balance and vitality.
