Problems Associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra
The third chakra, located in the region of the solar plexus, governs our ambition, drive, self-confidence, and general sense of self as an active force in the world. The solar plexus chakra is associated with the ego, the color yellow, and the sun. People with blockages here may experience a loss of self-confidence, difficulty achieving goals, and an inability to just be themselves. Overactivity in the solar plexus chakra can lead to ego-maniacal behavior, restlessness, reckless behavior, and a tendency to run roughshod over other people to satisfy one’s own ambitions. Since the solar plexus chakra is associated with the body’s ability to turn food into energy and to channel it effectively into activity, sometimes weight problems can be associated with blockage of this chakra. In that case, the body is not able to covert food into energy and the person is not able to pursue what they really desire through an authentic expression of self. If problems in this area continue, disease can develop. Some of the diseases associated with malfunction of the third chakra include digestion problems, ulcers, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, diabetes, and addiction to stimulants such as caffeine in an attempt to summon energy. When these kinds of health problems occur, yoga and/or vigorous physical activity can help to unblock the channel and enable the person to function more energetically.
