Solar Plexus Chakra Essential Oils to Balance Manipura Chakra

Manipura—third or solar plexus—chakra, allows your personal will and mind to find expression. Using solar plexus chakra essential oils to help balance manipura can lead to inner harmony, self-acceptance, and confidence. In turn, you attract more of what you want and are responsible, comfortable with life experiences, and attuned to the present.

An imbalanced third chakra may result in low self-esteem, temper outbursts, stubbornness, shame, hyperactivity, control issues, trying too hard to please, misuse of power, and inability to express anger.
