Solar Plexus Chakra

Ego, Power & Manifestation

Manipura

I am confident

The SOLAR PLEXUS chakra is our ego center. Our third chakra, located just below the naval, resembles cones of yellow energy extending out in the front and back of our bodies. A masculine energy that governs our consciousness of self within the Universe and our confidence levels within it. When we feel undecided, pessimistic, stressed out, unsocial, it often has to do with our Solar Plexus. This chakra is developed between the ages of 14-21, a time when we are discovering who we are in the world, what we like and dislike and differentiating ourselves from our relatives, really digging into our sense of self. Like the Sacral, the Solar Plexus is tied in with our emotions, just think of the emotional roller coasters you've been on as a teenager.

At times when we are nervous, we can physically feel this chakra and many people call it "having butterflies in their belly". People who have the "Midas Touch" have a well balanced Solar Plexus, those who feel that there's always "sticks in their wheels" are off balanced and is often accompanied by a lack of esteem and confidence. Our thoughts are powerful and when we couple them with our positive emotions, we can move mountains. However, when coupled with negative emotions, the opposite stands true and Murphy's Law steps in. A unbalanced Solar Plexus will often affect our Third Eye, creating confusion over what we really want in life and fogging up our Intuition as we constantly doubt ourselves, our feelings and our visions. A balance Solar Plexus will allow us to shine our sun and spread light wherever we go.
