7 DAYS OF CHAKRA WISDOM DAY 3: THE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA
Manipura | I DO
Today we move into our third energy centre: the Solar Plexus Chakra.
Located in the upper abdomen, just above the navel, the Solar Plexus Chakra is associated with personal power, confidence, self-worth, motivation, willpower and our ability to take action.
This is the energy centre that invites us to ask:
Do I trust myself?
Do I believe in my own worth?
Am I making decisions based on what I truly want, or am I constantly seeking approval from others?
Where have I given my power away?
THE INTUITIVE CONNECTION: CLAIRCOGNIZANCE
Claircognizance is often described as clear knowing. It is the intuitive experience of simply knowing or understanding something without necessarily knowing how that information came to you.
You might experience it as a sudden realization, an unexplained inner knowing or an answer that seems to arrive before you've consciously worked through the situation.
The Solar Plexus invites us to explore our inner authority and learn to distinguish intuitive knowing from fear, insecurity and wishful thinking.
Sometimes the biggest part of trusting your intuition is learning to trust yourself.
THE TAROT CONNECTION
The tarot offers some powerful archetypes that reflect Solar Plexus energy:
- Strength: Inner courage, self-mastery, resilience and compassion.
- The Chariot: Determination, direction, willpower and taking control of your path.
- The Sun: Confidence, authenticity, vitality, joy and personal expression.
These cards remind us that true power isn't about controlling everything around us. It's about understanding and taking responsibility for the power within us.
THE ASTROLOGY CONNECTION
- Leo: Confidence, identity, creativity and authentic self-expression.
- Aries: Courage, independence, initiative and taking action.
- The Sun: Our identity, vitality, purpose and sense of self.
- Mars: Motivation, ambition, drive, courage and action.
The element associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra is FIRE, representing transformation, determination, passion and the energy that moves us forward.

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Where are you giving away your personal power?
Are you shrinking yourself to make others comfortable? Are you waiting for someone else to recognize your worth before you recognize it yourself?
And perhaps the biggest question:
Who would you become if you stopped feeling the need to prove that you were enough?
YOUR AFFIRMATION
"I trust myself. I honour my worth. I release the need for outside validation and give myself permission to stand confidently in my own power. I am capable, worthy and deserving of the life I desire."
A LITTLE QUESTION FOR YOU:
What is one area of your life where you need to reclaim your power?
Is it your relationships, your boundaries, your career, your confidence or your relationship with yourself?
Share below. You never know who might need to hear your words today.
Tomorrow we move into the HEART CHAKRA, exploring love, compassion, connection and the beautiful but sometimes challenging journey of learning to give and receive love.
