In this article, we’re going to talk about how to get more confident by working with a chakra for confidence. It’s like unlocking your own superpower to feel brave and strong inside!
The solar plexus chakra, also known as the Manipura chakra, is the third chakra located in the upper abdomen. This chakra is associated with confidence and self power. It is associated with the colour yellow and governs self-esteem, personal power, and ego.
When this chakra is balanced, you feel confident, capable, and in control of your life. An imbalanced solar plexus chakra can manifest as low self-worth, emotional inclination in decision-making, and feelings of anxiety or fear.
This chakra embodies the element of fire. It connects the grounded inner self to the outer world. This ability for strong connection comes from this energy center. This is the center of emotions. The functioning of all the other chakras indirectly depends on this chakra since our body reacts to our emotions.
This chakra is often called the emotional chakra. It is often a very unstable and imbalanced chakra. This chakra responds quickly to the situations in the outside world. It can collect whatever is allowed into it including negativity like criticisms, judgements, stereotyping, etc.
Hence, It is required to balance this chakra always.
Organs controlled by this Chakra
The solar plexus chakra is tied to the digestive system, liver, pancreas, spleen, and adrenal glands. When out of balance, you may experience digestive issues, blood sugar problems, adrenal fatigue, or kidney stones.
On an emotional level, this chakra influences your sense of self, your willpower, and your ability to take action. With a blocked solar plexus, you may lack motivation, feel defensive, or struggle with criticism.
There are several ways to align your solar plexus chakra:
1. Meditation
Practice solar plexus meditations and visualizations. Imagine a bright yellow sun filling your abdomen with its warm glow. Repeat empowering mantras like “I am confident and capable.”
Meditate on the seed mantra “Ram”(|| रं ||) for additional benefits. Visualize Yellow light flowing through the navel part of your body while meditating.
