Do you feel listless or like you don’t have a purpose in life?
Do you feel frustrated, unmotivated, or like nothing in your life can bring you joy or happiness?
Do you find that you can’t set boundaries or that you can’t say no?
Are you having problems finding your inner power and confidence?
If you do, it’s time to balance your solar plexus chakra with crystals and energy work!
Solar plexus chakra crystals can help remove energy blocks and keep your solar plexus chakra aligned and balanced.
They can help you figure out what’s blocking you so that you can move forward with a sense of purpose and alignment.
They can help you increase your confidence in yourself, set and hold boundaries, and find your authentic self!
Let’s get into which crystals work for the solar plexus chakra and how to use them!
The Function of the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)
The solar plexus chakra is the third chakra.
It is located in the abdomen, between the sternum and belly button.
It is responsible for metabolism, the function of internal organs (kidneys, liver, pancreas, large intestine, gall bladder) and the nervous system.
It is also the center of your personal power and confidence, your sense of life purpose, and what motivates you and makes you happy.
It’s also the source of your “gut feelings.”
Its mantra is “rung” or “ram.”
The Solar Plexus chakra is responsible for:
- Self-esteem
- Personal empowerment
- Sense of purpose/Direction in life
- Sense of peace
- Authentic self
- Expression of will
- Emotional balance
- Centered in who you are
- Digestive system
- Self-confidence
- Motivation
- The power of transformation/moving forward in life
- Independence
Symptoms of a Blocked Solar Plexus
Your solar plexus chakra can become blocked because of stress, negative energy in your environment or other people, illnesses, and anything that is a drain on your energy.
It can also become blocked because of a block in another chakra above or below it, interrupting the flow of energy.
This is why it’s important to do energy work and keep all of your chakras clear.
When your Solar Plexus chakra is blocked, you can experience:
- Digestion issues
- Liver/Kidney problems
- Ulcers
- Feelings of powerlessness/victim mentality
- Lack of motivation/low energy
- Fatigue
- Insecurity
- Lack of confidence
- Poor self-image
- Lack of willpower
- Depression
- Self-conscious
- Inability to set or maintain boundaries
- Lack of purpose
Symptoms of an Overactive Solar Plexus
When there is a block in another chakra or somewhere in the energy chain, your solar plexus chakra can become overactive.
It “takes over” and causes imbalances, making up for the energy that’s lacking elsewhere in your life or body.
When your Solar Plexus chakra is overactive, you can feel:
- Ulcers/gallbladder issues/digestive issues
- Anger issues
- Aggressiveness
- Perfectionism
- Controlling others
- Overly critical of self and others
- Like you’re in “overdrive” and you can’t relax or you’re constantly stressed
Using Crystals for the Solar Plexus Chakra
Solar plexus chakra crystals fall into two categories: yellow/golden crystals (the color of the solar plexus) or crystals with inherent properties that align with the solar plexus.
Any crystal that enhances courage, willpower, taking inspired action, or staying true to yourself is a crystal that can unblock and align the solar plexus.
This isn’t a definitive list of solar plexus crystals, however, so if you have a crystal that is yellow or gold and/or has properties that align with those of the solar plexus, it will work too! Use your intuition!
