The Solar Plexus is our personal power centre. It deals with our relationship to our self.
We first learn about relationships through the base chakra where we relate to family. At the sacral chakra we begin exploring relationships outside of family. At the sensitive solar plexus it’s all about us – our relationship to our self.
