Experience More Confidence + Joy

The Solar Plexus Chakra is all your identity and who you are in relation to the outside world. How you perceive + present your power and have the willpower to “do”. It’s developed around the age of 2 when you begin to say “mine”. This is also a power regulator for the entire energy system.

If you have been feeling low self-esteem + insecure + greedy + aggressive, then you might be experiencing a solar plexus chakra block.

What does a Balanced Solar Plexus Chakra look like?

Positive self-esteem, worthiness, confidence, assertive, cooperative, dynamic energy, decisiveness, productivity, a healthy relationship with the greater world, self-recognition, easy to feel joy, happy, excited, self-motivated, purposeful, reliable, responsible, easy digestion

Common imbalances:

Fast + Over Active:

Receiving more than giving, “big” ego, controlling, aggressive, dominating, need to be right, hyperactivity, pride, competition, “I’m right, you’re wrong” mentality

Slow + Under Active/Depleted:

Giving more than receiving, low self-esteem, low self-worth, low self-confidence, fatigue, contracted energy, unhappy with life situation, poor self-discipline, poor digestion, sugar cravings, food cravings, hyperventilating, victim, unreliability, passivity, blaming attitude, weight gain, hypoglycemia, diabetes, ulcers

Sometimes injuries present themselves when we need to bring a chakra back into harmony. For instance, if you have indigestion, or IBS
