Boost Your Mood With Serotonin Naturally. Find Your Source Of Happiness — And The Color Yellow — In A Most Unexpected Place
Hint: Look At Your Gut
We are happy by nature. It is our life’s design.
Are you in need of more happiness? You may need to heal and balance your solar plexus chakra, located in your gut.
Wisdom Tree Yoga writes in Stoking Your Inner Fire, “The gut is the center of our personal power. . . It influences our inner drive, self-esteem and sense of worth.”
The color yellow represents the solar plexus chakra — the gut, also called the ‘second brain,’ or Enteric Nervous System (ENS). Happiness is caused from the brain’s release of serotonin with 95% of the body’s serotonin produced by your gut.
The American Psychological Association (APA) says in “That Gut Feeling” (2012), “Scientists following this line of research have become increasingly convinced that to fully understand our emotions and behaviors, we need to study the gut as much as the brain.”
Serotonin is essential for a happy mood. The Smiley is yellow on purpose. The color yellow is said to give the brain and the nervous system a ‘wake-up call.’
