About the Solar Plexus Chakra

The solar plexus chakra, also known as the Manipura chakra, is a vital energy center located in the upper abdomen, just below the sternum. It is associated with the color yellow and is considered the seat of personal power, self-confidence, and willpower.

According to ancient Eastern traditions, the human body is composed of seven main energy centers, or chakras, which are responsible for the flow of vital energy throughout the body. Each chakra is associated with specific physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our being.

The solar plexus chakra plays a crucial role in our sense of self and personal identity. It governs our ability to assert ourselves, make decisions, and take action in the world. When this chakra is balanced and harmonious, we feel a sense of inner strength, confidence, and motivation.

Imbalances in the solar plexus chakra can manifest in various ways. When it is underactive, we may experience low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and difficulty making decisions. On the other hand, an overactive solar plexus chakra can lead to aggression, control issues, and a need for constant validation from others.
