51 Solar Plexus Chakra Affirmations to Invoke the Inner Fire

How do Yogies survive in the extreme cold of the Himalayas without shoes and warm clothes when we can barely step out of our homes without layers?

They practice the ancient meditation technique of "Tummo" to raise their body temperature despite the cold environment around them. This technique requires strong solar plexus because it invokes the inner fire element that is stored in our 3rd chakra of 7 sacral chakras.

This is known as ‘The Manipura chakra’ or ‘The solar plexus Chakra’. This chakra is important if we want to live a balanced life. Let us dive deep into what is Solar plexus chakra and how we can use it to make our life balanced.

About solar plexus chakra

The solar plexus chakra is the center of confidence, willpower, and positive energy. It controls creativity and how we express ourselves in the outer world. It deals with active energy which motivates us to do something, to act on things, to complete commitments, to execute our plans, to turn our dreams into reality, and more. This is why is it also the energy center of our body and helps us stabilize our relationships, set boundaries with people, gain personal power, self esteem, and not let anything affect our mental stability.

The solar plexus is the third chakra in the chakra system and is located slightly above our navel. So, it's also called the 'Navel chakra’. Every chakra in the 7 sacral chakras is represented by a color and an element.

Those with strong third chakra radiate confidence, attract energy, have great emotional health, believe in creating their own happiness, and live their life purpose every day. They have a positive self image, make their own decisions, feel confident, speak positive statements, and face challenges calmly.

The color that represents the Solar plexus chakra

The color yellow represents the solar plexus chakra. Yellow depicts happiness, positivity, and hope. It is a color of light and fire and brings excitement to life.

A simple way to experience this is to keep yellow flowers next to your bed or in your home where more happiness and positivity are needed. See how it affects your mood. It can be especially helpful to keep these flowers by your bed if you often get up on the wrong side of the bed.

The element that represents the Solar plexus chakra

The element associated with this chakra is fire. The fire within ourselves with which we can do wonders! Wonders like staying in sub-zero temperatures with minimum clothes (like those yogis!). Fire is not only restricted to increasing the body temperature but is also associated with ambition, the hunger of doing things, dreaming big, and taking actions in order to complete them.

The biggest source of fire or energy is the sun. Just like the earth, the Manipura chakra takes energy from the sun to activate itself.

What is a blocked or an imbalanced chakra?

Just like blood flows through the blood vessels in our physical body, energy flows through chakras in our spiritual body. If the chakra is blocked or imbalanced, the energy flow is hampered and it doesn't reach all points of the body.

This causes changes in the release of enzymes, hormones, and chemicals in the body. Thus, we experience ailments- both physical and emotional based on the chakra that is blocked.

Signs of blocked chakras:

Root chakra:

If your root chakra is blocked, you will experience stiffness in your legs, feet, rectum, tailbone, and immune system. Issues with male reproductive parts, prostate gland, arthritis, etc.

Sacral chakra:

If your sacral chakra is blocked, you will experience sexual and reproductive health issues, urinary problems, kidney dysfunctions, hip, pelvic, and lower back pain, and constant fear of betrayal.

Heart chakra:

If your heart chakra is blocked, you will experience asthma, upper back, and shoulder issues, arm and wrist pain, suffocation, jealousy, and bitterness in relationships, fear of being alone.

Throat chakra:

If your throat chakra is blocked, you will experience thyroid issues, sore throats, ear infections, neck and shoulder pain, fear of being out of control, and issues expressing yourself.

Third eye chakra:

If your third eye chakra is blocked, you will experience constant headaches, blurred vision and eye strain, sinus, moodiness, and stubbornness.

Crown chakra:

If your crown chakra is blocked, you will experience rigid thoughts, constant fear of alienation disillusionment, and restlessness.

Signs of Imbalanced or blocked Solar plexus chakra:

As this chakra is located right above the stomach area, it controls the abdominal organs and tissues. Thus people with blocked solar plexus chakra face problems related to digestion and the abdomen. It can further cause issues like acidity, constipation, irregular bowel movements, indigestion, and loose motion.

Apart from these, solar plexus chakra blockage can also affect your mood. You’ll often be sad. Small things like spilling coffee will start affecting you and frustrate you easily. Your life will likely lack excitement and spontaneity. Things that excited you before will start looking bland. Even big successes and achievements will not give you happiness and joy.

Further, people with imbalanced solar plexus chakra have low self-confidence. They don't have faith, self-respect, and self-belief. They are afraid of doing new things and exploring their interests. They won’t be able to start any new venture. Anxiety will hit them when any new challenge comes up.

Those with unbalanced solar plexus chakra lack decision-making ability and always depend on others to make their decisions. They feel insecure about themselves and have low self-esteem. They are in search of validation from others. They don't realize their self-worth.

Some other signs of blocked solar plexus chakra:

1. Increased anger and jealousy
2. Wanting to control everything
3. Demotivation and lack of purpose
4. Lack of execution
5. Low willpower

How to unblock or open the solar plexus?

After understanding the problems caused by blocked solar plexus, here are some interesting ways to unblock it.

Be yourself

Be completely honest with yourself. Sit in a quiet place and contemplate. Think about who you really are, and what you want in life.

Be more authentic and truer to yourself. Finding yourself is truly the most important way to have a balanced solar plexus chakra.

Bask in the sun:

Sun, being the ultimate source of fire and energy can help you unblock your solar plexus chakra (or your third chakra). After waking up, bask in the sun for some time. Spread your hands and keep your palms in an upward direction.

Close your eyes and imagine you are absorbing energy from the sun. Visualize the energy entering your body, reaching the solar plexus chakra, and ultimately healing it. Doing this early morning has the added benefit of receiving Vitamin D.

Bringing more yellow into your life:

It can also help to create a small, safe space for yourself to practice your solar plexus chakra affirmations and paint it yellow or decorate it with yellow items.
