This chakra is located one hand’s with above the waist. It acts as a site of balance, or the tipping point, between the lower, more grounded chakras and the more spiritually flexible upper chakras. One of the key tasks of the solar plexus chakra is digestion; not just with regard to food but with ideas and emotions as well. The solar plexus chakra helps to process, interpret and respond to stimuli. 

Problems with the solar plexus chakra can show as stomach pains, gut issues, and fatigue. You may feel confused and disconnected with your thoughts and feelings. There may also be a tendency to take on other people’s issues and problems. When the solar plexus is functioning properly, you are able to recognise which issues are truly important, and which belong to you to work through. You will feel confident and vibrant, and able to journey through the world as your true and free self.
