A balanced energy center, or chakra, at your solar plexus supports healthy digestion and a balanced  ego.

Your Energy Centers

Chakra is a Sanskrit word meaning disc or wheel. It is believed to have originated in India and is first referenced in ancient Vedic texts linked to both yoga and Ayurveda. Your Chakras are spinning wheels of energy, and the Chakra system is the energy system of your body, responsible for your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. They can be found in your spiritual body, sharing space and aligning with your physical body.

Balanced energy centers ensure that you are running at peak possible performance. Imbalances can manifest in your physical and emotional body in predictable ways.

Correspondence and Function

Each energy center corresponds with an element that relates to its function. The energy center at your solar plexus corresponds with the element of fire and governs your will.

Your will, or willpower, is the control that you have over your own behavior. It works in harmony with your self-confidence and your ego.

It is the drive that helps your succeed.

Glandular Alignment

Your 7 main energy centers exist in your spiritual body and are aligned with the endocrine centers in your physical body.

The energy center at your solar plexus aligns with your pancreatic gland which supports digestion through enzyme secretion and insulin production.

The enzymes produced help you to digest what you ingest. The hormones produced help to balance your blood sugar levels.

Physical Areas Influenced

The energy center at your solar plexus influences the areas that relate to these types of digestion. This includes your stomach, liver, and gallbladder.

The solar plexus refers not only to an energy center but also to a cluster of nerves in your upper abdomen that resembles the sun and is also called the solar plexus. It also influences the thoracic spinal nerves from T5-T9.

It is important to note that energy centers are not clearly defined areas and their energy and influence blends with other energy centers, both large and small.

Energy centers effect and are effected by physical function. While your stomach is influenced by the energy center at your solar plexus which influences digestion and will, what it digests physically arrives through the esophagus and is filtered through the energy center at your heart.

Signs of Balance

A person with a balanced energy center at their solar plexus would have healthy digestion and balanced blood sugar.

Balance at the solar plexus supports vitality along with a balanced ego and drive.  

Signs of Imbalance:

Physical signs of an energetic solar plexus throat imbalance include:

• digestive issues
• hypertension
• chronic fatigue
• diabetes
• gall stones

Emotional signs of an energetic throat imbalance include:

• chronic fatigue
• depression
• mania
• ego mania
• lack of will

Bringing Balance

Your energy system is influenced by exposure to the world around you from other living beings to a variety of other things including your food, drink, and even your thoughts. This exposure has a direct effect on how each individual Chakra functions. Because it is a system, the function of each energy center has an impact on the whole system.

Information about tools for bringing and maintaining balance is not medical advice, nor should it be used in place of seeing a medical professional if and when you experience issues. Holistic tools should be considered a complement to any allopathic treatment that you may need.

Also, not everyone reacts in the same way to natural ingredients and allergies are common. Do not use anything that you have reacted to in the past, or if you suspect a sensitivity exists. Contact a medical professional with personal safety questions.

There are many tools that can support your balanced energy system. I like to focus on these 7:

• color
• gemstones, crystals, and minerals
• scent
• fuel or food
• herbs

Color

Color is controversial regarding balancing energy centers. I have personally found that it influences my mood and balance. There is also a great deal of information available on the psychology of color. Even if it is just a placebo effect, the purpose of this information is not to diagnose or prescribe. If using color to bring balance speaks to you, do it. If not, maybe another tool will resonate.

Yellow or gold is the color to use when balancing the energy center at your solar plexus. Use tones that invoke the feelings or vision of a warm, soothing fire.

Use yellow in rooms where wakeful activity is supported. Wear yellow when you want to encourage self-confidence. Place something yellow in your line of sight when you need to balance the energy at your solar plexus.

Gemstone, Crystals, and Minerals

Gemstones, crystals, and minerals support balanced energy centers through a process called entrainment. Both energy centers and crystals vibrate at specific frequencies. If you have an unbalanced energy center, bring a stone that vibrates at a frequency near or equal to it near your energy center.  The vibration of the stone will entrain the energy of the Chakra, returning it to balance.

Citrine is one of the stones that can balance the energy center at your solar plexus. It supports healthy processing.

Some citrine is heat treated amethyst. I like to use this form of citrine when fire is really needed to stimulate.

Scent

Scent can trigger memories, mentally transport you through time and space, and bring balance to your energy centers.

The scent of ginger can bring balance to the energy center at your solar plexus. Slice into a fresh ginger root or sniff the essential oil of ginger.

Fuel or Food

Each energy center responds to a specific fuel. This ranges from fasting to indulging in what we consider comfort food.

Simple carbohydrates are readily available sources of sugars while complex carbohysdrates include starches, found in grains and legumes, and fiber.

Herbs

Herbs are popular not only as complementary wellness practice but in allopathic medicine as well.  They are flexible in usage and many herbs have a wide range of benefits.

Calendula balances both digestion and the energy center that governs digestion, your solar plexus.

Use the whole calendula flower to infuse raw local honey or to make a sun tea.

Calendula brings the energetic energy of the sun as well as the stomach soothing benefits.

Summary

The energy center at your solar plexus relates to your ego and your will.

A balanced energy center at your solar plexus supports healthy digestion, balanced blood sugar, and vitality.

Imbalances at your solar plexus can manifest as digestive issues, diabetes, depression, and ego mania.

The energy center at your solar plexus can respond positively to a variety of balancing tools. Explore your options and work with the tools that feel most supportive, and you are comfortable using.
