SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA – Manipura – Chakra Functions, Crystals, and Balance
Where is the solar plexus chakra?
Solar plexus chakra is located a little higher than the waist, where our bellies end above. Chakra’s colors are yellow and greenish-yellow.
What are the functions of the solar plexus chakra?
This chakra governs our emotional communication and the assimilation of food. Our urges to nurture and feel are directly related to our self-esteem and our self-confidence.
The solar plexus connects our instincts directed by our (root-sacral) lower chakras with our intuition directed by our upper chakras (third eye-crown), allowing us to form our perspective on life. Our emotional state is important in determining our life vision.
Our emotional story plays a leading role in forming our personality. We may want to become a veterinarian after our dog is lost as a child. If we are subjected to bad behavior due to our ethnicity, there is nothing more natural than engaging in anti-racist activities.
It is not a coincidence that our eating habits change when our emotional state is out of balance. Absorbing emotions and absorbing food are linked because they belong to the same energy region – the solar plexus.
How do we know if our solar plexus chakra is in balance?
When our chakra is in balance, we can maintain our emotional stability. We have no difficulty resisting emotional attacks from outside. Our self-confidence is complete, and our self-esteem is as much as we should. Our vision of life is strong enough to carry us further. Thanks to our strong personalities, we can be ourselves.
When the solar plexus chakra is out of balance
This chakra is out of balance; our eating habits change, and energy may become unavailable. We may become vulnerable to various diseases due to the malabsorption of nutrients. We may experience liver disorders, and skin diseases such as eczema, metabolic problems, digestive disorders, adrenal disorders, gallstones, stomach, and intestinal disorders. Likewise, emotional mood disorders, seasonal depression, insomnia, and chronic anxiety may develop.
We can use Anandalite, Citrine, and Lemurian Seed to balance the chakra.
When solar plexus chakra slows down, is underactive, or blocked
When the chakra slows down, is underactive, or is blocked, we find it difficult to share our emotions and empathize. If this situation progresses, we can become dependent on the other person, evaluate all we do from his/her perspective, and shape ourselves accordingly. Even worse, we may feel inferior.
We can use these crystals for immediate effect; Golden Calcite, and Yellow Labradorite.
When solar plexus chakra gets too fast, overactive, or blown
When our chakra speeds up, we can become extremely sensitive to our environment. We want to think on behalf of them and interfere with them; we want to correct the mistakes we see by controlling them. Likewise, since we show our own emotions a lot, they can also direct us and absorb our energy. Even worse, we can take on other people’s emotions and drown in our emotions.
We can use these crystals for immediate effect; Calcite, Light Green Hiddenite, Malachite, and Rainbow Obsidian.
