What Is The Solar Plexus Chakra?
Manipura – the Sanskrit name for the Solar Plexus Chakra – translates to:
“City of Jewels”
Manipura is the third energy center in the body. It is the seat of your personal power, strength, willpower, stamina, vitality, ego, and capacity to get stuff done – and deep within this center lies a shining sense of gratitude. Located in your belly, between the navel and the base of the sternum, the Solar Plexus Chakra is associated with the color yellow and the Fire element.
Along with the Root and Sacral Chakras, the first three energy centers are referred to as the lower triangle.
All of the chakras are connected, so a balanced or blocked Solar Plexus Chakra affects the health of the other chakras too. Why? Energy needs to circulate through the body in order for us to be healthy – physically, emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. When the chakras are aligned it flows, when they’re blocked it’s stagnant.
Indications Of A Balanced Solar Plexus Chakra
When the Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced we’re driven and determined, playful and powerful. A balanced Solar Plexus Chakra empowers our sense of Self and we feel:
- Responsible and reliable
- In touch with our sense of humor
- Healthy self-esteem
- Spontaneous
- Playful
- Capable of facing challenges and making decisions
- Warm and confident in personality
Someone with a balanced Manipura feels confident, decisive, and able to achieve. They are self-motivated and have a sense of purpose. Chances are they’re at least somewhat, if not immensely, magnetic and make excellent adventure partners.
Solar Plexus Chakra Blockages
Key responsibilities of the Solar Plexus Chakra are self-esteem and confidence, which cultivates the ability to meet challenges, achieve goals and exude warmth. Friendliness and the capacity to inspire and motivate are also empowered or prevented here.
Symptoms of a Blocked Solar Plexus Chakra
The Chakras spin and attract energy that is on the same frequency, and in turn, sends it back out – like attracts like. The more positive energy a chakra consumes, the more positive energy it releases and the more positivity it magnetizes back. However, the same goes for negativity.
Presence and awareness are crucial when it comes to unblocking, attracting, and manifesting.
As with the other energy centers, the two main reasons your Solar Plexus Chakra may not function properly are due to an overactive or underactive flow of energy (prana) which may cause the following indications of imbalance:
- Mental – anxiety, indecisiveness, victim mentality, lack of accountability, desire for stimulants.
- Emotional – low self-esteem, fear of not being good enough, lack of confidence.
- Physical – ailments with the stomach, liver, and colon. Fatigue, eating disorders, digestion and weight issues, diabetes, hypoglycemia.
Solar Plexus Chakra Affirmations Can Help
There are affirmations to help elevate self-esteem, increase confidence in one’s abilities, cultivate willpower and digestive flames as well as stability of wellness including physical, mental, and emotional health and spirituality.
How To Choose An Affirmation
Simply choose an existing affirmation that resonates with you in the moment – reading it feels like a cuddle or elicits an emotional response or inspiration. Or create one for yourself – this may come to you intuitively, or you might be inspired by ours.
The affirmations here are only suggestions. Please feel free to add affirmations for the Solar Plexus Chakra that feel empowering, leave behind those that do not, or come up with your own!
How To Practice Solar Plexus Chakra Affirmations
Everyones’ style varies – according to body type, time available, emotional and energetic needs, state of mind, time of the month, etc – and it’s likely that your choices will evolve through the short and long seasons of life pending how you’re feeling and what you’re seeking.
Here are some loose guidelines and tips to get started. Feel free to experiment and sculpt accordingly to suit your needs!
- To practice Solar Plexus Chakra meditation, find a sweet spot – many prefer a quiet place.
- Get comfortable, as you would for meditation – seated or lying down, with the spine as straight as possible.
- Focus on the space above the navel, below the heart – the location of the Solar Plexus Chakra. You might wiggle or roll a little (seated cat-cows or hula hoop’y motion in the stomach area) to help hone in on Manipura. See if you can find and feel a sense of heat.
- Breathe. Consider trying sama vritti – often called equal or coherent breathing – where the length of the exhalation matches the length of the inhalation. No prescribed count, your own pace, rolling circularly from inhale to exhale and back again. Or pump the belly in and out whilst breathing (bellow’s breath or breath of fire) – allowing the belly to grow round as you fill with breath and firming it in to help expel air.
- Read your chosen affirmation over and over, committing it to memory if possible. Perhaps eventually softening your gaze or closing your eyes, if that feels safe, as you continue to say it aloud or silently.
- As you repeat the affirmation, visualize the fiery yellow color of the Solar Plexus Chakra and imagine it flowing into your energy center. This may appear as an expansion of the color from the center through your body into the space around you, or an increase in vibrancy or saturation, with your inhalation, followed by the color shrinking back to a small point or soft glow with the contraction of your exhalation. Strive to feel warmth – a sensation of heat emanating from your Solar Plexus.
- Truly, deeply engage – immerse in the feeling of the words of the Solar Plexus Chakra affirmation.
- Tip – if you need a little extra to amp your concentration, try chanting the seed mantra for the Solar Plexus Chakra: RAM.
