The Seven Chakras: Solar Plexus Chakra

The solar plexus chakra (third chakra), also known as manipura, is an energy vortex located near the stomach. This chakra is yellow in color. The solar plexus chakra looks like two cones that are connected at their tip. One cone extend in front of the body and the other extend in back of the body. The area where they are connected is located near the center of the body. The energies that make up each cone spin opposite of each other.

The energy stored in this chakra is the energy of identity, awareness, power, knowledge and curiosity. The solar plexus chakra controls more organs than the other 6 chakras. Some of the organs that it is responsible for are: the liver, stomach, gall bladder, spleen, diaphragm, pancreas and kidneys. It is also responsible for controlling metabolism and the nervous system. The solar plexus chakra plays an important role for eliminating toxins because it powers the liver and kidneys. Unlike the sacral plexus chakra (second chakra), the solar plexus chakra is logical rather than artistic. It is suspicious, sophisticated, and is not child-like but parent-like.

If your solar plexus chakra becomes the dominant chakra, you may experience low self-esteem, hatred and fear. Your ego may be the one controlling most of your decisions. This will cause a false identity of who you are, which will also bring a lot of pain and suffering into your life. If your solar plexus chakra is weak or blocked, you may experience physical symptoms, such as: diabetes, ulcers, hypoglycemia, constipation, fatigue and digestive disorders.

How to clear and balance your solar plexus chakra:

• Crystals: Yellow crystals are usually good for stimulating the solar plexus chakra. Some popular stones are yellow topaz, citrine, golden calcite, pyrite and amber. Visit this page for more details about using crystals.
• Light visualization: Imagine a transparent yellow ball floating behind your navel. Visualize that this is your solar plexus chakra. Mentally look or sense this yellow ball of energy shining like a little sun. If all you see is dark colors, your solar plexus chakra may be very dirty. You may want to visualize a powerful, pure white light illuminating from the inside of your solar plexus chakra. Visualize this white light cleansing your chakra until it is illuminating beautiful yellow colors. This may take a few weeks or months so be patient.
