The Solar Plexus Chakra is the third of the 7 Chakras. Located below your sternum and over the stomach, the Solar Plexus Chakra is the power and ego center of your body. It is represented by the color yellow. Ideally this Chakra is associated with categorizing, separating, planning, and organizing your life. It brings great pleasure to those who know their place in this universe.

When the Solar Plexus Chakra is imbalanced, you may experience low self esteem, depression, and/or anxiety. A blockage here can also cause you to experience digestive problems or issues with your pancreas.

Sporting activity helps to keep the energy center of this Chakra stimulated. Martial Arts, hiking, and biking are all great ways to keep the energy flowing correctly through the Solar Plexus Chakra. As a result, people who are heavily into sporting activity usually don’t experience the possible emotional issues that may occur when this Chakra is blocked.

Wearing a t-shirt with a yellow sun on it will help you on your travels. Eating corn and bananas are a good way to motivate your flowing energy. Using gemstones such as Amber, Tigers Eye and Citrine or lighting incense that smells of marigold, cinnamon, or orange will stimulate the Solar Plexus Chakra. Enjoying a nice sunny day is also a fantastic way to help keep this Chakra in balance.

Questions to ask yourself to see if your Solar Plexus Chakra is balanced.

• Do you experience digestive disorders or pain?
• Do you have problems controlling diabetes or are pre-diabetic?
• Do you feel the possible onset of arthritis?
• Are you easily overcome by fear?
• Do you quickly judge or hate others?

If you can answer Yes to more than 2 of these questions, your Solar Plexus Chakra needs to be balanced.
