We have been talking about how the chakras are related to change in our lives and nowhere is that issue more central than in the solar plexus chakra. The quality embodied in this energy center determines how we feel about our ability to effect change in our world. If it is blocked we can feel powerless, frustrated and resentful about our capacity to “make things happen” in our world/lives.
The abilities to act, to adjust and to change are directly impacted by the energy in the solar plexus chakra, therefore it is a major player with any change having to do with your or your situation in life.
The root and sacral chakras are about physical and emotional energy and survival at those levels. In the third chakra we begin to look at transformation and the potential to bring change and growth to ourselves and our world. The element of fire is a great metaphor as fire changes all it touches.
Fire transforms matter into invisible elements like heat and gas. The solar plexus is where we transform our energy from the lower and move it up into the higher chakras.
Psychologically our sense of self, our personal integrity, and self esteem rest in the solar plexus. This center influences the capacity to set strong, firm yet flexible boundaries. The lower centers set the stage for boundary keeping but it is the third chakra that holds the capacity to set those boundaries in the world.
When the energy of this chakra flows smoothly and is balanced there is inner confidence and vitality a person has an awareness of their uniqueness and value‚ people respect their integrity and respond to their energy.
