"Your solar plexus chakra has to do with your relationship with yourself. Whereas your first two chakras, the root and sacral chakras, focus on your relationship with the outside world and with others, the third chakra, or manipura, is different. This chakra everything to do with your thoughts and feelings related to your confidence, self-esteem, and sense of deservingness. Practicing yoga poses for the solar plexus chakra, which is located just above the navel at the center of the abdomen, means finding balance."
"I also like to use affirmations as a way to connect us to the themes of the sacral chakra. The purpose of this isn't to trick or convince yourself that the affirmations are true. Instead, simply repeat each affirmation back to yourself and observe the way it makes you feel. Some of them will feel good and be easy to listen to, which means that you probably don't have a lot of work to do in that area."
The solar plexus chakra, or manipura, centers just above the navel and governs thoughts and feelings about confidence, self-esteem, and deservingness. Balanced energy between the root and sacral chakras and the solar plexus supports a healthy relationship with self. Underactive solar plexus energy produces low self-regard and poor self-esteem. Overactive energy produces arrogance and feelings of superiority. Yin yoga poses that target twists and side bends create compression and expansion in the midsection to promote balance. Affirmations function as neutral probes: repeating them and observing emotional responses reveals areas needing attention and nurturance. Poses emphasize opening the side waist and hips without props.
