59 Solar Plexus Chakra Affirmations For Confidence & Willpower
If you’ve got a blockage in your solar plexus chakra, working with affirmations is one of the best ways to heal this and boost your confidence, courage, and personal power.
If you have a poor sense of self-worth or struggle to believe you can manifest your dreams, or you suffer from feelings of jealousy and find yourself wanting to control everything and everyone around you, you might be dealing with an under or overactive solar plexus chakra.
The word “chakra” is Sanskrit for “disk” or “wheel.” Chakras are energy centers in your body, and each one is connected to and affects a different set of nerves and organs.
The 7 chakras:
- Root chakra (first chakra)
- Sacral chakra (second chakra)
- Solar plexus chakra (third chakra)
- Heart chakra (fourth chakra)
- Throat chakra (fifth chakra)
- Third eye chakra (sixth chakra)
- Crown chakra (seventh chakra)
What is the solar plexus chakra?
The solar plexus chakra is the third chakra. It’s associated with the color yellow as well as the element of fire. Its Sanskrit name is Manipura. “Mani” translates to “gem,” while “pura” means city. In other words, the Manipura chakra is the jewel city of our energy center.
It’s located around six inches above your belly button and a couple of inches below your breastbone. The third chakra is the center of our digestive system, rules our metabolism, and specifically governs the liver, pancreas, and gallbladder.
You can think of the solar plexus chakra as the powerhouse of your entire energetic body. This is where our sense of confidence, worth, acceptance, esteem, motivation, and courage comes from. In other words, it’s the chakra that rules your personal identity (your personality) and is also the fire of your willpower. This chakra helps us move forward on our path, take action toward our dreams and goals, and live a fulfilling life. A yellow aura represents the same things as this chakra.
An inactive or underactive solar plexus chakra means we lack fire and feel weak and purposeless. In contrast, too much fire and we can become arrogant, envious, and quickly burn out.
Someone with a balanced solar plexus chakra will exude warmth and friendliness. They will radiate confidence and self-esteem from within. They know their worth and walk away from anything that doesn’t meet what they know they deserve. A balanced third chakra also leads to a healthy balance of discipline and play, strong decision-making, and inner peace.
Symptoms of a blocked solar plexus chakra
Each of the seven chakras can either be underactive or overactive, both of which are unbalanced. Here are some of the common symptoms of both.
Symptoms of an underactive solar plexus chakra
- Low confidence
- Low self-worth and self-esteem
- Feeling stuck in life/life is passing you by
- Feeling held back
- Your dreams and goals feel out of reach
- Helplessness
- Passive aggressive
- Hiding from the world
- Resistance
- Inadequacy
- Constantly comparing yourself to others
- Lack of meaning to your life
- Victim mentality
- Fatigue
- Digestive issues (IBS or constipation)
Symptoms of an overactive solar plexus chakra
- “Doing” all the time
- Need to maintain control at all times
- Achieving outward success but still feeling unfulfilled
- Aggressive or pushy
- A need to be right
- Perfectionism (from yourself and others)
- Overly disciplined
- Struggling to relax
- Burnout

It’s also possible to swing back and forth from an underactive to an overactive solar plexus chakra. In this case, you’ll experience a mix of symptoms from both lists.

Additional practices to unblock and heal
Affirmations are great, but they’re best coupled with other practices to boost their effect. Here are some other things you can do to unblock and heal your solar plexus chakra.
Practice yoga – Boat pose, plank, revolved triangle, and bow pose both support the solar plexus chakra. Kapalabhati breath (breath of fire) is also a great breathing technique to stimulate this chakra and get the energy circulating again.
Crystals – The best crystals for solar plexus healing are tiger’s eye, citrine, amber, yellow jasper, and yellow tourmaline.
Essential oils – Add essential oils into an air diffuser, to a bath, or massage them into your abdomen. Lemon, grapefruit, and juniper are all great for this chakra.
Meditate – When meditating, you could focus your breathing on this area or visualize yellow light flooding your body.
Diet – Although this isn’t a spiritual practice, your body is a temple, and treating it that way is important! Drink lots of water, and stay away from anything that is irritating your stomach. Add more fresh, yellow-colored foods to your plate (lemons, bananas, pineapple, yellow peppers, squash, and tomatoes).
