Solar Plexus Chakra Characteristics

 

Emotions - The solar plexus react very strongly to emotions and whenever we get butterflies in our stomachs, we are experiencing the reaction of the solar plexus.

 

Will-Power - It is also in the solar plexus our will-power is placed and our personality. When the solar plexus chakra is open and healthy we will feel that we have a strong will and that we are very confident in our selves and our individual characteristics. We are allowing our true personality to show. We are confident are not afraid to make our own choices and stand up to people.

 

Energy - The solar plexus chakra is also the location of our spontaneity and energy. We will feel alive and impulsive, living each day to its fullest. You are feeling energetic and lively.

 

 

 

A Blocked Solar Plexus Chakra

 

Lack of confidence - A malfunctioning solar plexus can have serious impact on both the mental and physical body. If our solar plexus is blocked it will wreck our will-power and our self-confidence. We will not feel worthy or inadequate. We will feel like what we do is not enough and that we are insufficient. A closed solar plexus will make us feel that we do not have much to offer the world and therefore let other people control us. We will give in to dominating people and let them make our decisions.

 

Bottled-Up Emotions - A blocked solar plexus will also influences our emotion, since it is the storage of emotions and feeling. That means that if the solar plexus chakra is not healthy, it will store all our self destructive and hurting emotions that we have gathered from childhood. We need to learn how to let go and get rid of these emotions or they will stay in the solar plexus, eventually coursing physical problems.
