Solar Plexus Chakra 101: Soaring to that Confidence Within



Welcome to your guide to the solar plexus chakra, the powerhouse of your personal strength and confidence. This dynamic center, also known as Manipura, is located around your stomach area and is the source of your willpower, self-esteem, and energy. If life feels like it's lacking direction or you're struggling with self-doubt, your solar plexus chakra might be calling out for some love. Let’s dive into the signs of a balanced vs. imbalanced solar plexus chakra and discover chic ways to keep it in harmony.


What Exactly is the Solar Plexus Chakra?

The solar plexus chakra is your energetic core of personal power and confidence. It’s all about self-discipline, identity, and the ability to take decisive action. Envision a bright, glowing yellow light in your stomach area, radiating confidence and strength. When this chakra is in check, you're unstoppable, brimming with self-assuredness and vitality.


Balanced vs. Imbalanced

Signs Your Solar Plexus Chakra is Balanced

When your solar plexus chakra is balanced, you feel confident, assertive, motivated, and have a strong sense of purpose. Physically, you enjoy good digestion, a healthy metabolism, and strong core muscles.


Signs Your Solar Plexus Chakra Needs TLC

An overactive solar plexus chakra can make you domineering, stubborn, controlling, or overly critical. Physically, you might experience digestive issues, hypertension, or liver problems.

An underactive solar plexus chakra can leave you feeling insecure, indecisive, low in energy, or with low self-esteem. Physically, you may suffer from digestive problems, chronic fatigue, or weight issues.


How to Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra

Balancing your solar plexus chakra is all about embracing your inner strength and building self-confidence.


Reiki Healing

Reiki Healing has become one of our cherished methods for harmonizing not just the solar plexus chakra but all of our chakras. It leaves us feeling revitalized and ready to embrace life’s endless opportunities.

During a reiki session with Stiil, if the solar plexus chakra feels out of balance, we employ reiki techniques alongside guided meditation to restore equilibrium. The goal is to foster a deep sense of personal power & empower you to thrive within & around you.


Connect to Fire: Solar Plexus Chakra Element: Fire

The solar plexus chakra’s element is fire, so engage in activities that ignite this element. Spend time in the sun, enjoy a warm bath, or light candles during your meditation. Let the warmth and energy of fire inspire your inner strength.


Nourish with Yellow Foods

Proper nutrition is crucial for balancing our solar plexus chakra as it fuels our energy and confidence.

Think YELLOW foods here. Eat bananas, pineapples, lemons, corn, and yellow peppers. These foods nourish and energize your solar plexus chakra, boosting your confidence and vitality.


Set and Achieve Goals

The solar plexus chakra thrives on accomplishment. Set small, achievable goals and take steps to accomplish them. Each success, no matter how small, strengthens your sense of self and builds confidence.

Feel the empowerment as you achieve your goals and set new ones.


Yoga

Dive into your asanas, the physical postures within yoga, focusing on poses that strengthen and activate your core.

Embrace poses like boat (Navasana), warrior (Virabhadrasana), or plank (Phalakasana) to activate and balance your solar plexus chakra.


Empowerment Rituals

Incorporate rituals that boost your sense of personal power. Affirmations, journaling, and visualization can help you connect with your inner strength and build self-esteem.

Repeat affirmations like “I am confident,” “I am strong,” and “I am capable” to reinforce your personal power.


Your solar plexus chakra is the key to a life filled with confidence, motivation, and personal power. By tuning into its needs and giving it the care it deserves, you can unlock your true potential and experience a richer, more fulfilling life. Embrace the practices that resonate with you, and watch as your life transforms with strength and self-assuredness. Stay powerful, stay radiant, and let your inner strength shine through.


Here’s to a balanced solar plexus chakra and a life of chic empowerment and confidence.
