The Solar Plexus chakra is located in the upper belly region, it acts as the center of personal power. This chakra governs strength, courage, personality, ego, and identity, as well as personal freedom, choice, and authenticity.

The solar plexus chakra also has much to do with motivation, willpower, and purpose, which stem from one’s sense of personal efficacy. Self-confidence and view of the self connect to the solar plexus chakra, as well. Furthermore, this chakra governs the digestive system and its respective organs; as a result, it has jurisdiction over both the gut’s emotional brain and stored emotions.

The main function of the solar plexus is to provide energy to move forward and realize desires and intentions. Elementally, the solar plexus chakra is associated with fire.

Emotionally when the solar plexus is blocked or under active it can represent itself in feeling anxious, stressed, worried, a lack of confidence or having an egotistical perspective.

An imbalance can also show up as extreme aggression and closed-mindedness. When we have trouble trusting, are resistant, or are out of touch with our gut instinct then it is time to connect to our solar plexus.

When the Solar Plexus chakra is balanced, you are assertive and exert your will in a way that leads to results and a harmonious relationship with your surrounding. You also muster courage to do something that scares you, you speak up for yourself and you exert your willpower and self-control. Your energy is high and you have purpose and vitality, your posture is tall and commanding.

Working with this bowl will help you stand tall, speak with conviction and have the strength to look others straight in the eye. Your personal power will be strong and you will be comfortable using it! Personal power does not mean power over others; it means self-mastery – the ability to master your thoughts and emotions, overcome any fear and take appropriate action in any situation.
