8 Simple Ways To Balance And Unblock Your Solar Plexus Chakra (Maṇipūra) | The Inner Self Guide (2024)

Simple Ways To Balance + Unblock Your Solar Plexus Chakra

1. Use Color Therapy To Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra

Underactive Solar Plexus Chakra: Surround Yourself With More Yellow

The quickest and simplest way to balance an Underactive Solar Plexus Chakra is to simply wear or surround yourself with more yellow.

That can be in the form of clothing, flowers, accessories or furnishings, etc.

Remember, an underactive Solar Plexus Chakra has too little flow of energy flowing through it, so when we bring yellow into our environment or wardrobe, we’re igniting and firing up our energy and stimulating the Solar Plexus Chakra – Our Power Centre.

By bringing more yellow into your world, you instantly give a boost to your Solar Plexus Chakra energies (your Personal Power Center) and get all those energies flowing more easily.

Yellow also helps to re-awaken our enthusiasm for life and gives us greater feelings of optimism and confidence. As we all know, yellow is the color of sunshine and sunshine always brightens up our world and makes us feel lighter, doesn’t it?

So, if your Solar Plexus Chakra energies are underactive the first move is to add more yellow to your life!

Yellow doesn’t suit you?

No worries! It doesn’t suit me either! 😉 Simply wear yellow as underwear or bring it into your environment via ornaments, flowers or why not throw some yellow cushions onto your sofa?

There’s always a way to bring more yellow into your world to balance your Solar Plexus Chakra, even if it doesn’t suit your skin tone!

Overactive Solar Plexus Chakra: Surround Yourself With More Purple or Violet

Alternatively, if your Solar Plexus Chakra is Overactive, instead of yellow, bring more purple or violet tones into your environment.

This will help to calm and rebalance the excessive flow of energy flowing through your Solar Plexus Chakra.

That can be in the form of clothing, flowers, accessories or furnishings, etc.
By bringing more purple or violet tones into your world, you will help to bring a more balanced, empathetic and co-operative energy into your system which will work to soothe any Overactive Solar Plexus Chakra energies.

2. Connect With Fire Energy To ‘Fire up’ And Activate Your Solar Plexus Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra is associated with the element of fire, so if we connect with the energies of fire this will help to rebalance our Solar Plexus energies.

USE THE FIRE ELEMENT TO HELP BALANCE YOUR SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA ENERGIES

• Sit in front of a fire and allow the flames to soothe your mind, warm your entire system and rebalance your Solar Plexus Chakra.
• Mediate on a candle flame.
• Place candles around your bath (especially beneficial if both your Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras need balancing).
• Bask in the sunlight and allow the the suns’ rays to ‘power up’ and recharge your entire system. Use the sun to help you reconnect with and ignite your Personal Power Centre – Your Solar Plexus Chakra.

Introducing more of the fire element into your life is highly-beneficial for strengthening your Solar Plexus Chakra energies within your system, so they can begin to rise to the higher chakras.

NOTE. Some of the above listed scents (such as, ginger, rosemary, lemon, black pepper, clove, etc) can used for cooking in their everyday form (not essential oil form). So why not start adding more of these herbs and spices into your daily meals and start healing and rebalancing your Solar Plexus Chakra whilst you eat. 😉

How Do I Choose Essential Oils To Balance The Solar Plexus Chakra?

When you shop for essential oils to balance your Solar Plexus Chakra be sure to:

1. Only buy 100% pure essential oils. Therapeutic grade is generally regarded as the best.
2. Double or even, triple check the botanical names on the label to ensure you purchase the right essential oil for your needs.
3. If there is no botanical name on the label, do not buy it.

WARNING. Some essential oils are not advised to be used by pregnant or nursing women, so ensure you fully research an essential oil before using. Always read the label and follow directions.

5. Use Foods To Feed Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra

Another effective way to balance, cleanse and heal your Solar Plexus Chakra energies is to use specific foods.

What Foods Are Good For The Solar Plexus Chakra?

The most beneficial foods to eat to balance the Solar Plexus Chakra are as follows:

1. COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES

Complex Carbohydrates are highly-beneficial for the Solar Plexus Chakra, because it converts our internal energy into ‘power’ for our self-esteem and for the running of our entire system. Therefore, it needs ‘slow burning’ fuel to generate consistent energy supplies. Foods such as, corn, lentils/dal (especially yellow), legumes, whole grains, potatoes, etc. are all great sources of energy.

2. AVOID HIGHLY-PROCESSED FOOD/DRINK

Avoid sugar, white grains or white flours when your Solar Plexus Chakra is unbalanced. This is because we need more ‘sustainable’ energy levels. The Solar Plexus Chakra is the centre which assimilates nutrients for our body (draws the nutrients out of food), so we must give it the ‘right’ fuel that’s high in nutrients to fuel our entire system and fire up our self-esteem and personal power centre.

3. YELLOW COLORED FOOD

When the Solar Plexus Chakra needs balancing it can be beneficial to consume yellow colored foods, such as, lemons, yellow peppers (capsicum), bananas, etc.

DO YOU HAVE AN OVERACTIVE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA?

Then, be sure to increase your intake of purple foods, such as, plums, eggplant (aubergine, brinjal), red cabbage, etc. This will help to calm any excessive flow of aggressive energy within the Solar Plexus Chakra area.

6. Drink Hot Lemon To Balance Your Solar Plexus Chakra

One lemon a day keeps the doctor (and a blocked Solar Plexus Chakra) away!

One of the physical functions of the Solar Plexus Chakra is to promote healthy digestion and assimilate the nutrients throughout our body. So, why don’t we give the Solar Plexus Chakra ‘a helping hand’ in fulfilling these processes?

We can help aid and strengthen the Solar Plexus Chakra’s ability to complete its physical functions by simply starting our day with a hot cup of water and fresh lemon.

This simple, yet powerful combination of hot water and lemon ‘kickstarts’ our metabolism (associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra) which helps to maintain a healthy body weight.

A hot cup of lemon every morning (straight after waking) helps rejuvenate our entire body-mind system. This is because the combination of hot water and lemon, quite literally, flush out any sluggish and potentially damaging energy from our system.

It’s like having an invigorating cup of hot sunshine which warms and activates your day, your entire system and your Solar Plexus Chakra energies, which is always a fantastic way to start your day! Wouldn’t you agree? 😉

So, do give it a go and feel the massive difference a simple cup of hot lemon every morning can do to your system and your energies.
