The solar plexus chakra is the third chakra. It is about embracing your individuality and uniqueness while continuing to celebrate your connection with all humanity.

Psychological Functions: Personal power, will, wit, laughter, mental clarity, optimism, self-control, curiosity, awareness.

Physical Issues: Digestive system, endocrine glands, diaphragm, nervous system, calves and forearms, middle part of back and spine, diabetes, ulcers, timidity, addictions to stimulants, toxicity, jaundice, and poor memory.

Emotional Issues: Personal power, trust, fear, confidence, self-esteem and self-worth, responsibility for making decisions, self-mastery and personal honour, sensitivity to criticism and rejection, and intuitive voice.

The solar plexus chakra’s energy will be out of balance if, for example, you: break your commitments to yourself; manipulate, dominate or abuse others; fail to maintain clear personal boundaries; seek approval of others; and take on responsibility for everything and everyone.
