Solar Plexus \u2013 just by hearing its name, you know instinctively that it is connected to the sun’s energy. Warm, bright, and full of life, the solar plexus chakra<\/strong> embodies this same fiery strength. It is responsible for controlling your drive, willpower, and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our body contains seven major chakras, each representing an energy centre that governs various aspects of our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The Solar Plexus is the third chakra, located at the centre of the body, illuminating our personal power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When this chakra is functioning well and aligned with your body, it seems like everything in your mind is clearer. Your head is clear, your movement has a purpose, and you exhale the deep breaths of determination\u2014perhaps even of courage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Solar Plexus?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Solar Plexus is a network of nerves in\u2002the centre of your body, just above your navel. It\u2019s an important centre\u2002that helps regulate many functions \u201cdownstream\u201d in your stomach area, like digestion and how your body responds to stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actual spot is just above where the major arteries branch off the abdominal aorta, including the celiac trunk and\u2002the superior mesenteric artery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It corresponds to the third chakra, located just below your sternum. By regularly practising Solar Plexus chakra meditation, you can envision it as a radiant power centre that governs your confidence and willpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
