Aries people have a very strong Solar Plexus Chakra or Manipura.
This is where they draw in their power, self-belief, & confidence.
During Aries season, it’s best to unblock your Manipura.
It’s a key component in giving you the momentum and courage needed to make your dreams come true.
This powerful spot helps build personal power, which means it’s a vital part of developing self-esteem for people who struggle with feeling like they don’t deserve what they want out of life.

Why Should I Work On My Manipura Chakra?
- If you know, deep down, you were meant to be a leader. You were put on this earth to inspire and lead others because when your Manipura is balanced, you emanate an aura that attracts others to you.
- If you worry about other people’s opinions of you all the time. Due to this fear, you hardly make decisions in case it is the wrong one. The constant anxiety depletes your energy and you can fall into depression.
- If you stay passive because you are insecure about your abilities and your self-worth. When someone pushes your buttons, you resort to a passive-aggressive response which makes you feel worse.
- If you experienced some disappointments that you can’t seem to let go. You are consumed by the shame of that experience and find comfort in avoidance.
- If you have some creative ideas you’d love to pursue but you are afraid because you don’t believe in yourself.
- If these ring true to you, don’t give up on yourself. Explore your Manipura with us.
