How to Harness Solar Plexus Energy to Empower You

Would you like to feel more self-confident, act from the center of your personal power, and accomplish goals you never dreamed were possible? I’ll provide details to help you use third chakra/solar plexus energy and its corresponding color─-golden yellow, to invigorate and transform you.

Post Updated 3/01/2025

A chakra is a Sanskrit word that means disk, circle, or spinning wheel of light energy. In yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body. The seven main chakras, which align the spine, start from the base of the spine through the crown of the head. To visualize the chakras in the body, imagine swirling wheels of energy from the root chakra to the crown. 

The symbol for the third chakra is a yellow shape with a downward pointing triangle within. Located at the base of your breastbone, spreading to points just above your navel, the third chakra’s Sanskrit name is Manipura. When this area is aligned and open, you feel self-confident, determined, and step ahead of the pack to lead.

Look at the ideas shown below. Each can increase self-assurance, your resolve to stay optimistic, and encourage you to complete goals with mental clarity and enthusiasm.

Sport yellow hued clothing. A yellow cap, blouse, scarf provides yellow energy vibrations that assimilate into your body, mind, and spirit. This color can lift your mood and enliven your wardrobe.

Display yellow decorative items in your home and office. This color is a cheery one to use as an accent color in your abode or any space you want to open up, expand, or help you to think more clearly in. The vibrational frequency of golden yellow brings energy to the spleen, liver, pancreas, and stomach and draws healing to these organs. Paint one wall in your office golden yellow and notice whether it helps you feel clearheaded, as you learn to make positive change in how you think of yourself.

Eat yellow fruits and veggies. The ones below are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Plant-based eating provides fuel for your body to work at high efficiency, fiber to help digestion and elimination, and a healthy supply of water to hydrate you. Yellow-colored fruits and veggies also help stabilize emotions and elevate your mood. Following are yellow fruits and veggies you can savor:

Pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese, good source of copper and vitamin B1, vitamin B6, dietary fiber, folate and pantothenic acid.

Bananas provide a very good source of vitamin B6, vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber, biotin, and copper.

Corn (fresh ear of corn) is a phytonutrient-rich food that provides antioxidant benefits and is a good source of the mineral manganese and vitamin B5. 

Yellow Summer Squash contains antioxidants and nutrients, including the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Summer squash is an excellent source of copper and manganese, and a very good source of vitamin C, magnesium, dietary fiber, phosphorus, potassium, folate, vitamin B6 and vitamin K. In addition, it is a good source of vitamin B1, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, niacin, vitamin B2, pantothenic acid, calcium, iron, choline and protein.

Lemon is a yellow fruit powerhouse. Use its juice to bring out the flavor of other foods. It’s rich in vitamin C and good source of folate.

Casaba Melon, Yellow Peppers, Pears, Yellow Onions, and Yukon Gold Potatoes are additional yellow-colored produce to include in meal plans. 

Listen to Music to help heal energy blocks in the third chakra. This chakra resonates to the musical note E and this selection helps with restoring self-confidence.

A fire meditation for the solar plexus creates confidence, energy, and power to lead. A good way to check whether this chakra is out of balance is to evaluate whenever you fear rejection, lack passion, or are frozen in indecision. 

Here’s a Fire Meditation for Awakening the Solar Plexus Chakra  from Meditative Mind.

Recite affirmations to transform thinking. The solar plexus chakra corresponds to your sense of individuality and the vision you hold of yourself. If the affirmations I wrote and shared below don't apply to you, compose and recite ones that do.

Say This Affirmation Aloud. “I meet every challenge with inner strength, and move forward with mindfulness and skill.”

Say this Affirmation Aloud. “I take steps to further my goals, enhance my spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional health, and possess confidence as I fulfill my life purpose, moment to moment.”

Use your imagination to visualize a yellow or amber solar plexus gemstone or crystal. Ones that are popular for balancing and healing the solar plexus chakra are Golden Calcite, Citrine, Amber, Sunstone, Yellow Topaz, Golden Yellow Labradorite, and Tiger-eye stones. 

If you prefer, purchase third chakra stones and hold the gems in your hand. Place a chakra crystal on your body in the solar plexus area. Place crystals in your home or office, where you'll see them. Enjoy wearing a piece of jewelry made from one of these stones. 

Your mind is powerful; use it to envision solar plexus energy bringing crystal clear focus to the thought process. Let third chakra energy help you sense how brave you really are. 

When the Solar Plexus Chakra is Balanced You Feel

Self Motivated and Confident

On Track, Focused on Your Goals

Strong and Centered

Able to Process Emotions with Equanimity

Willing to Explore New Territory and Risk Change

Proud of Your Accomplishments

Skilled at Letting Your Mistakes and Past Go

Comfortable Living in Your Own Skin

Manipura is the Sanskrit name for the third chakra, and its translation is “lustrous gem.” Shower yourself with gem-like chakra energy and make this day one where you look for new, loving ways to appreciate yourself.

How to Create Balance, Energy, and Strength through the Root Chakra

updated 11/20/2023

Muladhara, the root chakra, provides a rich life force to live and work vibrantly. It's located at the base of your spine, and is the first of the seven primary chakras in your subtle body energy field. 

When you take part in activities including meditation, affirmation or mantra chanting, yoga poses like the mountain pose, or visualizations that stabilize this chakra, it affects the rest of the chakras. 

Symbolized by the red lotus with four petals, the red energy of the root chakra is powerful.  

According to the Chopra Center, “The Word Muladhara breaks down into two Sanskrit words: Mula meaning 'root' and Adhara, which means 'support' or 'base'."

If you sense or think your root chakra is out of balance, place a red object like a pillow or blanket in your meditation space. This will help ground your spiritual energy at a practical level. 

Tibetan monks like the Dalai Lama often wear red robes or red shawls for this purpose. Click here to learn other ways red helps you.

Red energy fortifies you, when you need courage, self-confidence, positive love, and resolve/will-power. 

Here’s a YouTube video about LAM, the sound associated with the Root Chakra. I suggest you try it as a mantra. Observe how easily sound and color bypass thinking and is absorbed at the sensory level, providing an increased sense of grounding, balance, and ease. Click here.

The root chakra energizes the feet, legs, tail bone, and affects the sex organs, urinary organs, and adrenal glands. When your legs ache or are stiff, you lack sexual desire, and/or struggle with stress, remember to call on the root chakra. It helps attract passion, and heats your body. The root chakra influences how you feel and how you act. 

See whether you notice subtle changes in the rate or quality of self-healing and/or a greater sense of well-being in body, mind, and spirit after fine tuning this chakra.

For a more detailed description of "chakra" see this. 

Also see this. Kegel Exercises: A Proven How-To Guide.

If your intuition leads you to crave or want red foods like beets, red cabbage, tomatoes, and strawberries, pay attention. Your body is wise, beyond measure. Here's a link to learn more. 4 Key Reasons to Eat a Variety of Colorful Fruits and Veggies Each Day.

The overuse of red makes you feel or act domineering, arrogant, self-indulgent, quick tempered, impolite, and angry. Use caution with this color. A little goes a long way. Because red is the color with the longest wavelength, and it maintains a close connection to heat and warmth, it is an intense color.

Try Chakra Affirmations for Health and Well-being. Recite Them as You Envision Red and the Root Chakra:

·      I feel invigorated, energized, and empowered whenever I visualize the root chakra.

·      My health is excellent and I am fortunate to be well-balanced, fit, prosperous, and strong.

·      My spirit is grounded deep in the earth. I reserve time to balance and nurture mind, body, and spirit in the great outdoors often. 

·      I walk barefoot, hug trees, dance, play sports, and engage in playful earthy activities like gardening, rock climbing, and hiking. See outdoor activities that are fun and centering.

·      I feel secure, grounded, and visualize my foundation as stable and strong.

·      I have the courage and trust to show up for life.

·      I sense abundant support from encouraging people in my nuclear family, in my family of choice, my work environment, my community, and in the world at large.

·      I am open and receptive to root chakra energy, and use it to infuse and enhance balance, strength, and energy into each moment.

Now that you've seen the affirmations I created, try your hand at writing and reciting your own. 

Use the power in red and the root chakra to discover new ways to create balance, energy, and strength to live each day with a sense of stability and purpose.

Please share comments below. Is chakra a familiar term or is the idea new to you?

Do you enjoy seeing red objects and select this color for clothing, home furnishing, blogs, or put it in your lifestyle in other ways?
