Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Citrine, Mookaite Jasper and Tiger's Eye

This third chakra, manipura, or “solar plexus chakra” (also referred to as the “navel chakra”), acts as the body's energy powerhouse. As we know, today's fast-paced life makes it challenging to find time for yoga and meditation, yet these practices are crucial for well-being. The solar plexus chakra, located between the navel and the base of the sternum, is associated with the color yellow and the element of fire. Activating the solar plexus chakra enhances confidence, self-esteem, and personal power. It boosts digestion, promotes mental clarity and fosters a sense of purpose and direction in life, leading to overall improved health and vitality.

1. Citrine Bead Bracelet 

In the activation of the solar plexus chakra, citrine plays a very important role. Citrine, a yellow variety of quartz, is known as the "merchant's stone" or "stone of abundance." The yellow color represents the fire element, which is closely associated with the solar plexus chakra. This chakra, linked to ego, identity, and confidence, is the energy center of the samana vayu or samana prana. When activated, it fosters calmness and diminishes ego. Wearing citrine can be particularly beneficial for those around you who are passionate and determined to achieve success.

Citrine stone supports their ambitions by enhancing confidence, personal power, and mental clarity. Additionally, it helps to balance and stabilize emotions, making it easier to maintain a focused and driven mindset. Therefore, those seeking to boost their inner strength and success are advised to wear citrine to harness these benefits effectively.

2. Mookaite Jasper Mala 

Mookaite Jasper is also very helpful for activating the solar plexus chakra, helping people feel more connected to the earth and providing a sense of stability and security. In crystal healing, Mookaite Jasper is known for its grounding properties, which enhance focus and concentration.

At Shwasam Crystals, we offer a Mookaite Jasper mala that can be used to harness these benefits. This stone aids in decision-making and encourages versatility and adaptability, making it easier to tackle challenges with clarity and confidence. By aligning and energizing the solar plexus chakra, Mookaite Jasper enhances one's inner strength and determination. It promotes a balanced state of mind, allowing for improved concentration and productivity in work. Additionally, its nurturing energy fosters a sense of calm and emotional stability, supporting overall well-being. Using a Mookaite Jasper mala during meditation or as a daily accessory can help individuals stay grounded, focused, and motivated in their endeavors.

3. Tiger Eye natural stone hand carving of Sun

People mostly spend quality time at home, and it's common to keep gemstones in living or working areas. However, when activating our chakra, it's crucial to sit in a quiet place, sometimes for long hours. Keeping a Tiger Eye stone hand carving of the Sun in the meditation area can be very convenient. This stone is renowned for its protective qualities and grounding energy. Placing a Tiger Eye hand carving of the Sun in your home creates a shield against negative energies and brings harmony to the household. It is believed to enhance courage, strength, and personal willpower, which are vital for activating the solar plexus chakra.

This tiger eye stone balances emotional well-being, reduces stress and provides mental clarity. For family members, it fosters a sense of security and stability, promoting a peaceful and positive environment. Incorporating this powerful stone into your meditation space can enhance both personal growth and household harmony.
