When our Solar Plexus chakra is out of balance, we can feel pessimistic, excessive, sly, cowardly, untrue to ourself, high-strung and skeptical. It is easy to restore health to this area by using yellow energy.
Our chakras are constantly moving in and out of balance. This is very normal but when an imbalance lasts for too long, we may experience physical manifestations of illness. To remedy this, we simply need to set the intention of re-connecting
The Solar Plexus chakra is located in the center of the stomach - sort of between your rib cage. Think of a time when you’ve felt a “sinking” stomach and this is where your solar plexus chakra is. This chakra governs our will and creativity. When this chakra is in balance, we feel good-humored, optimistic, confident, clear-thinking, are able to see wide horizons, tap our inner wisdom, be spontaneous and authentic.
The Yellow Chakra
The color we associate with the Solar Plexus chakra is yellow. Yellow energy brings about increased feelings of well-being, motivation, positive thinking, and the expression of inner joy. When our Solar Plexus chakra is balanced, we will have overall feelings of joy, optimism, and good humor.
Too Much Yellow?
There are times when you have too much yellow energy. That is to say that your Solar Plexus chakra is working overtime. When this happens, you may experience feelings of nervous strain. You may feel very wired and stressed and overly edgy. To remedy this, simply use the color white (or rather the absence of color, white). White will offset the imbalance of the Solar Plexus chakra. You can eat white foods such as mushrooms and white beans, wear white clothes, carry white gemstones around such as quartz, diamond or pearls, or meditate on pure white clouds and calmness.
The Goddess Kamala
A Goddess we can invoke to help balance our Solar Plexus chakra is Kamala. She is the Indian Goddess who manages spirituality, love, passion, pleasure, relationships and sexuality. Her symbols include the lotus flower and yellow objects.
Simple Kamala Meditation
Kamala's energy can help you restore harmony, understanding, self-control, adaptability, sympathy, compassion, generosity and love back into your life. To invoke the powerful and positive characteristics of Kamala, gather together several yellow-energy gemstones such as citrine, sunstone or topaz. Light a yellow candle (to symbolize the yellow energy of the Solar Plexus chakra) and ask to receive Kamala's energy and abundance. Ask her to enter your Solar Plexus chakra. When you do this, you may feel a tingling sensation – this is normal and just means you have connected with this chakra. Ask Kamala to heal your chakra and help restore balance. Sit in this space for a while and when you feel ready, thank Kamala and bring your conscious mind back to the room you are in. Hopefully you will feel restored, energized and in balance after this simple meditation.
