Solar Plexus Chakra & Millennium Ring

Today, I'll take you on a wild esoteric journey concerning chakras and their influence on the Millennium Items!

We'll start on the Millennium Ring here and the two (three?) souls tied to it, namely Ryou Bakura and Yami Bakura (and the Thief King, should you consider the ring spirit as a separate entity, as I usually do).

First and foremost, we'll dive into a concept that has been long since a centrum of Hinduism and Buddhism and has become more relevant again due to yoga and some esoterical views and writings, exactly chakras.

A few of you probably know about them already (from AtlA for example) but for those of you, who are unaware, chakras are believed to be focal points in your body, that are subtly or not so subtly able to influence your health and general mental well-being.

Chakras run along the length of your spine up towards the very top of your head, like so:

The chakra we're looking at today is the "Solar Plexus chakra" which is placed right below the chest, where the torso goes over into the stomach area slowly.

Or THIS area right here:

or, you guessed it, right about here:

So, while our Millennium Ring is wildly chaotically changing in rope length during Manga and Anime, it is at least often shown and through the tablet represented in an area around chest and stomach, right above the 3rd or solar plexus chakra.

What does that mean for our characters though?

As I have written earlier, the chakra influences the mental and physical state and allrogether well-being of our character.

It represents, in the human body POWER, SELF-CONTROL, WILL, VITALITY, PURPOSE and DIRECTION.

It is also firmly connotated as a FIRE elemental.

When the chakra is imbalanced, aka too powerful compared to the others, it can cause you to become DOMINANT, BLAMING, SCATTERED and constantly active, so pretty much RESTLESS.

Huh, weird. Characteristics, we have very much seen in both Thief King and Yami Bakura over the course of the series.

What happens, when the influence of the chakra is weaker imbalanced then, or even deficient?

It may well cause WEAK WILLEDNESS, POOR SELF-ESTEEM, EXAGGERATED PASSIVENESS, the feeling of SLUGGISHNESS and alltogether FEARFULNESS.

Weirdly accurate descriptions of what Ryou Bakura has to face during his possession of the Item.

What tends to block your healthy usage of this chakra is the most heartbreaking though.

SHAME. Created due to trauma, stored emotions or learned patterns.

Both Thief King and Ryou Bakura are ashame about having been to weak/unable to help their loved ones, they just 'resolve' their struggles with this on the exactly opposite exaggerated spectrum. While the Thief overacts the chakra, Ryou completely blocks and underwhelms it.

The only way to recover balance and control over this chakra and 'unblock' it is Self-Assertation and Self-Compassion, sadly both characters throughout the series fail spectacularly at recovering their ground concerning this issue.

It is no wonder that Yami Bakura speaks of himself as "Ore-sama" and it's also no wonder that Ryou doesn't seem to find a strong footing in a friend group!

The moment's when Ryou does assert himself are glorious powerhouse movements and in my eyes, it's not even weird that he triumphs over Bakura in those moments!

Following this knowledge, it is no wonder that the spirits of the Kul Elna villagers chose the Millennium Ring as a dwelling place and it is no wonder that the Thief ended up there with them.

It is the most balancing and vital chakra of your body and a lot of religions believe that the stomach houses the soul, not your chest or the heart!

They aren't interested in spiritual power, the raw need to survive inside something to simply cling to vitality and the last shreds of life conducted them directly into the stomach area, towards the Solar Plexus chakra, directly into the Millennium Ring, sitting over the most influxing power source of the whole body.

THIS WAS A LOT TO TYPE ON PHONE!!

I hope you enjoyed it!! :3
