The Solar Plexus: Manipura
The solar plexus chakra, known as Manipura, is a energy center located at the upper part of your belly, near the diaphragm. It’s associated with the color yellow and represents personal power, identity, and the element of fire. This chakra governs various physical systems including the stomach, liver, adrenal glands, and more. An aligned solar plexus chakra is vital for maintaining personal integrity, confidence, and the ability to make personal choices.
When the solar plexus chakra is out of alignment, it can lead to feelings of low self-esteem, insecurity, and difficulties in relationships. Such misalignments often stem from relationships where one’s sense of self is compromised, leading to a lack of personal freedom and authenticity. Interestingly, contrary to some beliefs, individuals exhibiting narcissistic tendencies may have significantly misaligned solar plexus chakras.
To bring the solar plexus chakra into alignment, practices include living authentically, making choices that reflect one’s true self, mastering the art of relationships, and engaging in activities that foster a sense of personal empowerment. Visualization techniques, such as imagining the chakra as a vibrant yellow vortex and using specific sounds like chanting “Ram” or “Ah,” can also aid in its alignment. Additionally, incorporating certain foods, colors, sounds, and minerals that resonate with the solar plexus chakra can be beneficial. Physical movement and exposure to sunlight are also recommended to assist in aligning this energy center.
In summary, the solar plexus chakra is essential for fostering personal power, identity, and the ability to navigate life’s choices with confidence and authenticity. Aligning this chakra involves a holistic approach that includes mindful practices, physical health, and emotional well-being.

What can cause an imbalance in the solar plexus?
There can be many causes, but one of the most common in this modern age is unhealthy relationships, which can lead to an imbalance in the solar plexus chakra. Here are some examples of unhealthy relationships
- Your partner exerting excessive control over you.
- Your partner preventing you from making important life decisions.
- Your partner consistently engaging in arguments or instigating conflicts.

- Your partner showing a lack of respect towards you.
- Your partner restricting your access to friends and family.

- Your partner being honest with you
