Ah, the Solar Plexus Chakra—your inner sun, the fire that fuels your confidence, self-worth, and personal power. Also known as Manipura in Sanskrit, this chakra resides just above the navel and below the sternum, radiating warmth and strength like the sun itself.
When your Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced, you feel unstoppable: confident, in control, and aligned with your true purpose. But when it’s out of whack? Cue the self-doubt, lethargy, or, on the flip side, the overbearing need to control.
Let’s dive into the energy of the Solar Plexus, explore how to know when it’s misaligned, and discover ways to support it for a radiant, empowered you.
What Does the Solar Plexus Chakra Represent?
The Solar Plexus Chakra governs:
Confidence and Self-Worth: Your ability to believe in yourself and stand in your power.
Willpower and Discipline: The drive to achieve your goals and stick to your commitments.
Personal Identity: A strong sense of who you are and what you stand for.
Metabolism and Digestion: Physically, this chakra is linked to your digestive organs, reflecting your ability to “digest” life’s experiences.

Recognising Imbalances in the Solar Plexus
When this chakra is underactive, you might feel:
Insecure or riddled with self-doubt.
