The solar plexus chakra is the “headquarter” of our personality. It is where we find our identity and it helps us
fit into the norms of society through our personal strength, tenacity and the power of adaptability.
Its element is represented by fire. Fire is light, heat, energy and activity, and at the
spiritual level, it represents enlightenment.
The solar plexus chakra is represented by the sun as the center of a person’s strength. Here we take the solar energy that nourishes, among other things, our spirit and the physical body, giving us vitality.
Maintaining physical health
This chakra manages the nervous system, the stomach, the biliary bladder, the large intestine, the liver and the pancreas. Also, the entire digestive and muscular system are regulated by this chakra. Even the eyes are governed by the solar plexus chakra.
Problems with the
digestive system, arthritis, diabetes and hypoglycemia are some physical health problems that may indicate a dysfunctional Manipura.
Action and will
The most important functions of this chakra are to expose/express your feelings with courage, motivation, strength and happiness. When this chakra is charged with energy, it stimulates
positive emotions that improve the level of confidence and courage to fulfill your dreams.
Consequently, these offer you the ability to
make decisions, take proper action and be
emotionally detached from problems no matter how difficult they may be.
The inability to work hard, procrastination, apathy, being dominated by personal habits and being controlled by others are some factors related to the imbalances in this chakra.
The Signs of a Healthy Manipura
When the solar plexus chakra is balanced, you have a generally good mood, you are cheerful and optimistic, you respect yourself and others and can honestly express your feelings. You can trust yourself and have the courage to recognize your problems and take real actions to solve them.
You are flexible and solve your problems with a
calm mind. You do not lose your temper easily – you are calm and confident, so you adopt effective
conflict resolution and problem-solving strategies. You feel that you are your own master.
