There are 7 major chakras, or energy sources in our body.  Each chakra represents a different part of our body and emotional well being.  Accordingly, when these chakras are balanced,  we reach a place of balance between spirit, body, earth and health, universality and grounding. However, when any one of our chakras are out of balance, we can suffer many negative emotional and physical effects.  Located in the upper belly at the diaphragm, it acts as the center of personal power. This chakra governs personality, ego, and identity, as well as personal freedom, choice, and authenticity. The solar plexus chakra also has much to do with motivation, willpower, and purpose, which stem from one’s sense of personal efficacy.
