The Solar Plexus Chakra, located between the navel and solar plexus, is the core of our personality, our identity, of our ego. While the Sacral chakra seeks pleasure and enjoyment, the third chakra is all about the perception of who you are. The chakra is the center of willpower. The Sanskrit word for the solar plexus is Manipura, translated as ‘shining gem’, a fitting term for this particular chakra.
Your solar plexus chakra is activated:
anytime you muster the courage to do something that scares you
anytime you speak up for yourself
anytime you exert your willpower and self-control

Physical location: Between the navel and solar plexus

The key to a healthy, open solar plexus chakra is finding a balance between making sure that your voice is heard without being pushed aside, but without overpowering other people with false displays of confidence.
