My favorite Chakra Smoothie

MY FAVORITE MANGO SMOOTHIE, ACTIVATING THE NAVEL CHAKRA FOR GOOD MOOD AND ENDURANCE

One of my favorite things to do is to create Chakra Smoothies, reading about the characteristics of the Chakras and the related foods. The third Chakra lies above our label and is the centre of digestion and mood. It represents the sun within us. In Yoga we try to strengthen this Chakra with Kapalabathi Breathing and postures that massage the guts. Strengthening this chakra with food means: choosing yellow, light and ripe.
