Today marks a profound cosmic shift—the beginning of the Chinese New Year of the Snake. In many spiritual traditions, the Snake is a symbol of transformation, wisdom, and personal evolution.
It teaches us to shed the old, embrace renewal, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
At this pivotal moment, we are invited to reflect: Are we fully standing in our personal power? Are we living with confidence, clarity, and trust in ourselves? Or do we feel stuck, insecure, or disconnected from our purpose?
The answer often lies in the state of our Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)—the energy center governing self-esteem, willpower, and inner strength.
When this chakra is balanced, we feel empowered, motivated, and in alignment with our purpose.
When imbalanced, we experience self-doubt, fear, and a loss of direction.
As we step into the Year of the Snake, it is time to shed the layers of doubt, reclaim our power, and awaken our inner fire. And one of the most powerful ways to do this is through the practice of yoga and meditation.
Signs Your Solar Plexus Chakra Is Out of Balance
The Solar Plexus Chakra is located in the upper abdomen, just above the navel. It is the seat of personal power, determination, and the ability to take inspired action. When in harmony, we move through life with confidence and trust in our own decisions. When out of balance, we may experience:
Lack of confidence – Feeling unworthy, doubting your abilities, or hesitating to take action.
Low energy and fatigue – A sense of heaviness, difficulty getting motivated, or feeling uninspired.
Digestive discomfort – A tight, unsettled stomach, bloating, or digestive issues.
Anxiety and overwhelm – Feeling like life is out of control, a fear of failure, or trouble setting boundaries.
A need for excessive control – The flip side of weakness—being overly rigid, controlling, or aggressive in an attempt to feel secure.
If you recognize yourself in any of these, you are not alone. But the good news is that this imbalance can be healed—and yoga and meditation are profound tools to bring you back into alignment.
How Yoga & Meditation Restore Balance to the Solar Plexus
Yoga and meditation work directly with your energy body, helping to activate, clear, and strengthen the Solar Plexus. This is not just about physical movement; it is about reclaiming your inner fire and awakening to your fullest potential.
1. Yoga Builds Inner Strength & Trust
The practice of yoga reminds us that strength is cultivated from within. As we move through the physical postures, we learn resilience, focus, and determination.
Over time, this extends beyond the mat, teaching us to trust ourselves, stand in our truth, and take empowered action in daily life.
When we commit to showing up for ourselves through yoga, we ignite our inner fire—a fire that burns away self-doubt and brings clarity to our path.
2. Meditation Clears the Mind & Strengthens Willpower
The mind and the Solar Plexus are deeply connected. When this chakra is weak, the mind becomes clouded with doubt, fear, and hesitation.
Meditation is a powerful tool to still the mental chatter, quiet the inner critic, and connect with our deeper truth.
Through meditation, we learn to observe our fears without being controlled by them. We cultivate mental discipline, focus, and a deep sense of self-trust—all essential qualities of a strong and balanced Solar Plexus Chakra.
3. Breathwork (Pranayama) Activates & Energizes
Our breath is the bridge between body, mind, and energy. When we breathe deeply and consciously, we awaken dormant energy within us.
Specific breath practices, like deep diaphragmatic breathing, fire breath, and controlled exhalations, stimulate Manipura, clearing stagnation and awakening a sense of vitality and motivation.
Many of us unknowingly hold our breath when we feel anxious or insecure. By learning to breathe fully and intentionally, we restore confidence, ease, and personal power.
The Snake’s Message: Trust, Transform & Step into Your Power
The Year of the Snake is a year of shedding old limitations and stepping into a more powerful version of yourself. It asks you to release self-doubt, embrace change, and move forward with trust and confidence.
What outdated beliefs do you need to let go of? What inner power is waiting to be reclaimed? Can you step into your own transformation with trust, rather than fear?
Yoga and meditation are not just physical practices—they are sacred pathways to awakening your true potential. Through these practices, you will learn to stand firmly in your strength, listen to your inner wisdom, and move through life with unshakable confidence.
