All About the Solar Plexus Chakra: Healing with Reiki

Writer: Margo DavisMargo Davis

The Solar Plexus Chakra, or Manipura, is the third chakra in the Hindu tradition, often referred to as the "City of Jewels" or "Diamond." This chakra governs our raw emotions, intuition, personal power, and confidence. Located just above the navel, it serves as the center for emotions like joy, confidence, frustration, and anger. When in balance, the Solar Plexus Chakra empowers you to feel self-assured, motivated, and emotionally stable. However, when it’s blocked, you may struggle with self-doubt, frustration, or a lack of purpose.


In this blog, we’ll dive into how to identify imbalances in your Solar Plexus Chakra, ways to heal it, and how Reiki can play a powerful role in balancing this energy center.



Functions of the Solar Plexus Chakra

Functions of the Solar Plexus Chakra


Maintaining Physical Health


The Solar Plexus Chakra manages many essential bodily functions, including the autonomic nervous system, digestive organs, liver, pancreas, and muscular system. It also plays a vital role in cellular respiration—providing energy to fuel your body’s internal processes. When this chakra is out of balance, it may manifest in physical problems such as digestive issues, arthritis, diabetes, or chronic fatigue.


Emotional Balance


The emotions associated with this chakra are fiery and intense—think of anger, confidence, frustration, or even joy and cheerfulness. When balanced, you can easily navigate these emotions and express your feelings with clarity. On the other hand, an imbalance can lead to feelings of depression, anger, isolation, or self-doubt. Reiki helps clear blocked energy, restoring emotional balance and releasing negative patterns.


Confidence and Self-Worth


One of the primary functions of the Solar Plexus Chakra is to give you a strong sense of self-respect and personal power. When this chakra is balanced, you feel confident in your decisions, stand up for yourself, and set healthy boundaries. You’ll feel in control of your life and unafraid to take on new challenges. Imbalance in this chakra often leads to feelings of inadequacy, procrastination, and dependence on others.


How Virtual Reiki Can Help Heal the Solar Plexus Chakra


Virtual Reiki is a powerful way to restore balance to your Solar Plexus Chakra, even from the comfort of your own home. Through energy work, a Reiki practitioner can connect with your energy remotely, clearing blockages and promoting the free flow of positive energy. This healing enhances physical, emotional, and mental well-being, making it an ideal choice for those looking for balance and alignment.


Here’s what you can expect during a virtual Reiki session focused on the Solar Plexus Chakra:


Energy Activation


During a virtual Reiki session, the practitioner will guide you to focus on your Solar Plexus Chakra, located just above your navel. Using energy visualization techniques, they will send Reiki energy to this area, helping to unblock stagnant energy and activate the chakra.


Guided Rotation Techniques


You may be guided through rotating energy techniques. For women, it’s often suggested to rotate the energy to the left, and for men, to the right. The practitioner will help you intuitively sense the best direction for your energy flow, helping restore balance to the Solar Plexus Chakra.


Mantras


The mantra "Ram," which is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, can be incorporated into your virtual session. Your practitioner may lead you in chanting or meditating on this sound to clear negative energy and promote healing. The vibrations created by this mantra will help release any energy blockages.


Aromatherapy and Crystals


Even in a virtual setting, you can incorporate tools like aromatherapy and crystals. Your practitioner may suggest using essential oils such as lavender, rosemary, or bergamot during your session. Likewise, you can hold or place crystals like citrine, yellow topaz, or tiger’s eye on your solar plexus area to enhance the healing process.


Visualization Techniques


Many clients report seeing bright sunlight or the vibrant image of yellow flowers, such as sunflowers, during their virtual Reiki sessions. This visualization is a sign that the Solar Plexus Chakra is healing and becoming more aligned, helping restore your emotional and physical well-being.




Ways to Heal the Solar Plexus Chakra at Home


While Reiki is a powerful tool, there are also ways to maintain balance in your Solar Plexus Chakra at home. Consider these practices:


  • Spend Time in the Sun: The Solar Plexus Chakra is connected to the element of fire. Spending time outside in natural sunlight can help recharge and energize this chakra.

  • Exercise: Physical activity, particularly those that involve the core, can help activate and balance the Solar Plexus Chakra.

  • Set Small, Achievable Goals: The Solar Plexus thrives on willpower and action. By setting small, attainable goals, you build confidence and keep the energy flowing.

  • Use Crystals: Crystals like citrine, amber, or tiger’s eye can help maintain balance. Carry them with you or meditate with them to promote healing.

  • Aromatherapy: Essential oils like lavender, rosemary, and bergamot are ideal for calming and balancing the fiery energy of this chakra.
