The solar plexus chakra governs the digestive system, which includes the stomach, large and small intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. It also governs the adrenal glands, which produce adrenaline as well as the stress hormone cortisol. The solar plexus chakra plays and integral part in how we digest food, but amazingly with how we “ingest” our life experiences.

When balanced, courage, willpower, self-control, direction, self-mastery and purpose are the non-physical emotions governed by the solar plexus.  When balanced, the solar plexus chakra gives a strong sense of self and self-worth.   It provides us with a way of self-mastering over our thoughts and emotions, and creates a clear sense of direction, which opens the way for us to follow our true path.  The ability to think with clarity allows us to put our ideas into action getting things done.

Underactive or imbalanced solar plexus chakra brings feelings lack, limitation, low aspirations and negative self-worth, cluttered thinking and the inability to get things done.
