Another technique to bring this chakra into balance is to relax oneself and visualize the color yellow while repeating the Hindu chant RAM. Hold your intention at your solar plexus and allow the sound to vibrate there. This exercise energizes the 3rd chakra. Wearing the sterling silver Jeffrey David earrings will give further benefit. Gemstones that resonate on a harmonious frequency with the solar plexus chakra are citrine, gold, yellow calcite and tiger's eye. The representative color is yellow and symbolic of the element fire.
