The Solar Plexus Chakra: Reclaiming Your Power
There comes a time when you realize you’ve been playing small. Holding back. Dimming your light so you don’t stand out too much. Maybe you’ve convinced yourself that you’re not capable, not ready, not good enough. That’s the moment your Solar Plexus Chakra starts whispering: Wake up. Step up. Own your power.
Known in Sanskrit as Manipura, the Solar Plexus Chakra is the seat of your personal power, confidence, and inner fire. It’s the energy center that fuels your courage, self-worth, and ability to take action. When this chakra is strong and open, you feel unstoppable. Decisions come easily. You trust yourself. You walk into a room and your energy speaks before you even say a word.
But when it’s blocked? That’s when self-doubt creeps in. You hesitate, second-guess yourself, and feel like life is just happening to you instead of being something you create. A weak or imbalanced Solar Plexus Chakra can leave you stuck in fear, procrastination, and self-sabotage. It’s the energy of “I can’t,” “I’m not enough,” “Maybe later.” Sound familiar?
This is your invitation to reclaim your power.
How Reiki Supports the Solar Plexus Chakra
Reiki is pure life force energy. It reminds your body, mind, and spirit of what balance feels like. When your Solar Plexus Chakra is blocked, Reiki works like a fire starter, reigniting the confidence and drive that may have been buried under fear, doubt, or external conditioning.
A Reiki session focused on the Solar Plexus Chakra involves channeling energy to the stomach area, clearing stagnation, fear-based patterns, and low self-worth. Many people feel heat, tingling, or even an emotional release as the energy shifts, creating space for clarity, determination, and self-trust.
But Reiki isn’t just about healing—it’s about activating. It helps you remember who you are beneath the layers of self-doubt.
