In some people, a misaligned Solar Plexus Chakra can make skillful self-expression challenging. In some, it manifests as overly rigid or controlling behavior. In others, it breeds a victim mentality, neediness, and lack of direction or self-esteem to stand up and take positive action. When the Manipura Chakra is in healthy alignment, it removes insecurity. This leads to recognizing inherent power and feeling empowered. Connecting with a strong purpose in life gains a deeper understanding of the individual contributions to achieving success. This brings prosperity in personal and professional life. Letting go of negative things becomes easier since dependency on others is reduced. There is a marked improvement in recognizing self-worth rather than focusing on material things. This positive transformation is brought by consistent practice to investigate and identify the symptoms of blockage.

Cleaning and opening this chakra can make a person a better leader and create an inspiring life.This chakra can be balanced by practicing the asanas, with the use of crystals, with essential oils, by tapping into your creativity, meditation, mantras and affirmations.
