The solar plexus chakra, also known as the Manipura, is located in the upper abdomen and is associated with the color yellow. It is associated with personal power, self-esteem, and self-control. This chakra governs our ability to assert ourselves, make decisions, and have confidence in our abilities. Imbalances in the solar plexus chakra can manifest as feelings of low self-worth, lack of confidence, or difficulty making decisions. To balance and activate the solar plexus chakra, one can practice yoga postures, deep breathing, and visualization techniques, use certain essential oils, and engage in activities that promote self-confidence and self-expression.
