Chakras • solar plexus chakra

The one located at the solar plexus area or the hollow area between the ribs is called the front solar plexus chakra, and the one at the back is called the back solar plexus chakra. The term ‘solar plexus chakra’ shall mean both the front and back solar plexus chakras. This chakra controls and energizes the diaphragm, pancreas, liver, stomach, and to a certain degree energizes the large and small intestines, appendix, lungs, heart and other parts of the body. This chakra also affects the quality of the blood because it controls and energizes the liver, which detoxifies the blood.

The solar plexus chakra is the energy clearing-house center. Subtle energies from the lower chakras and from the higher chakras pass through it. The whole body can be energized through the solar plexus chakra. On rare occasions, over energizing this chakra without first thoroughly cleansing may result in pranic congestion, thereby, partially paralyzing the diaphragm, resulting in difficulty in breathing. Congested prana should be removed immediately. The solar plexus chakra also controls the heating and cooling system of the body. Malfunctioning of this chakra may manifest as diabetes, ulcer, hepatitis, heart ailments and other illnesses related to the organs mentioned.
