What Is the Solar Plexus Chakra?

The Solar Plexus Chakra, also known as Manipura, sits just above the navel in the centre of the torso.

This chakra is connected with confidence, self-esteem, willpower, motivation, identity, courage, boundaries and the ability to take aligned action.

When balanced, you feel capable, grounded in who you are and able to make decisions without constantly outsourcing your power to everyone else.

When blocked or depleted, it can feel like your spark has gone missing. You may feel powerless, indecisive, burnt out or unable to stand fully in your own life.

Why the Solar Plexus Chakra Matters

In a world that constantly pushes people to do more, prove more and be more, the Solar Plexus Chakra can become exhausted.

You may look capable on the outside while quietly questioning yourself on the inside. You may be high-achieving but still feel like you are not enough. You may be holding everything together while feeling disconnected from your actual desires.

Solar Plexus healing brings you back into authentic power - not ego, domination or force, but the steady confidence that comes from knowing who you are.

Signs Your Solar Plexus Chakra May Be Blocked or Out of Balance

A blocked Solar Plexus Chakra can show up emotionally, mentally, physically and energetically.

Some people also notice physical tension around the stomach, digestive discomfort or a heavy feeling through the core when they are emotionally under pressure. Always seek medical advice for ongoing physical symptoms.

Solar Plexus Chakra and Confidence

The Solar Plexus is often called the confidence chakra because it influences how you see yourself, how you make decisions and how willing you are to take up space.

When this chakra is balanced, confidence feels grounded. You do not need to prove yourself constantly. You trust your choices, honour your values and move with more direction.

When it is blocked, confidence can collapse into fear, comparison, perfectionism or hiding.

You may also like hypnotherapy for confidence and self-esteem if your confidence struggles feel deeply rooted in old beliefs or subconscious patterns.

Solar Plexus Chakra and Anxiety

The Solar Plexus is closely connected with the way fear, control and uncertainty are held in the body.

If you feel anxiety around being judged, making the wrong choice, being seen, disappointing others or failing, your Solar Plexus may need support.

This is not about forcing yourself to be fearless. It is about helping your nervous system feel safer with visibility, action and self-trust.

Support may include Reiki, grounding crystals, confidence hypnotherapy, journaling, nervous system regulation and gentle action that rebuilds trust from the inside out.

Solar Plexus Chakra, Burnout and Emotional Exhaustion

Burnout can drain the Solar Plexus because this chakra is linked with energy, motivation, drive and willpower.

If you have been pushing, performing, over-giving or carrying too much responsibility, your inner fire may feel dim rather than powerful.

Solar Plexus healing after burnout is not about forcing motivation. It is about rebuilding your relationship with energy, choice and self-worth.

Sunstone, Citrine, Tiger Eye and Pyrite are often chosen for confidence, energy, motivation and rebuilding self-belief after emotionally draining seasons.

Solar Plexus Chakra and People Pleasing

People pleasing is one of the clearest signs of a Solar Plexus imbalance.

When your power is outsourced, you may become more focused on being approved of than being aligned. You may say yes to things that drain you, stay quiet when something feels wrong or over-explain your boundaries.

Healing the Solar Plexus helps you return to your own centre.

Solar Plexus healing supports the ability to make choices from self-respect rather than fear of disappointing others.

How to Heal the Solar Plexus Chakra

Solar Plexus healing works best when you combine physical action, emotional honesty, energetic support and nervous system safety.

Solar Plexus Chakra for Business Owners and Visibility

If you run a business, create content, lead others or sell your work, the Solar Plexus Chakra is huge.

This chakra is connected to visibility, confidence, decision-making, boundaries and the ability to back yourself when people are watching.

When your Solar Plexus feels blocked, you may procrastinate, undercharge, hide online, avoid selling, compare yourself or constantly question whether you are good enough.

Hypnotherapy may support confidence, visibility fears, self-worth patterns and subconscious blocks around success.

Solar Plexus Chakra Healing With Reiki

Reiki can support the Solar Plexus Chakra by helping soften emotional blocks around confidence, fear, control and self-worth.

During a Reiki session, the Solar Plexus may be supported through energy healing, chakra balancing, crystal placement and deep relaxation.

Many people seek Solar Plexus support when they feel disconnected from their power, stuck in indecision or emotionally depleted after stressful seasons.

Solar Plexus Chakra Healing and Hypnotherapy

The Solar Plexus is deeply connected with identity and self-belief, which makes hypnotherapy a powerful support for confidence work.

Many confidence blocks are not logical. You may know you are capable, but still feel stuck because subconscious beliefs are running underneath the surface.

Hypnotherapy can support patterns such as fear of failure, fear of judgement, low self-worth, people pleasing, self-sabotage and difficulty trusting yourself.
