Our space of personal power, the solar plexus chakra, is aptly named Manipura, meaning "lustrous gem" in Sanskrit. It is the center of our vitality, energy, and self-confidence, where our determination and drive to move forward reside. Healing this chakra allows us to release fear and fully embrace our gifts. Associated with The Chariot card in tarot, it symbolizes willpower and triumph. Balancing Manipura involves practices like meditation, affirmations, core-strengthening exercises, using crystals with a golden glow. When we activate the solar plexus we foster a life filled with purpose and self-assuredness.
Balanced = confidence, purpose, motivation, courage
Unbalanced = perfectionism, aggression, fear, frustration
