We all have three masculine chakras (1, 3, 5), three feminine chakras (2, 4, 6), and one unified chakra (the crown). Because of this, energetically, we’re born quite balanced. But hormones and socialization quickly train us to be dominant in one type of energy over another. Usually, we end up stronger in the energy that corresponds to our gender.

The irony about chakra work is that when a particular chakra is weak, you usually NEED that chakra’s energy to open that chakra. It’s a Catch 22 — like when you need a resume to get a job, but you need a job (or jobs) to create a resume. This principle seems particularly true for the solar plexus chakra, because you need to take courageous action to boost the solar plexus chakra, but you really need solar plexus energy to be brave enough to take that action.

Sometimes, when we fall in love, we put so much focus on our beloved that we forget about ourselves. That’s okay for a day or a week, but it’s not sustainable.

But the problem with putting up shields is they don’t really spare us from anything and they definitely block any new love from coming in.

If we continually put others before ourselves, eventually we will get sick or break down in some way. It’s the Universe’s way of reminding us to love and take care of ourselves first. It’s why airlines ask parents to put the oxygen mask on themselves first. Because if they pass out, they can’t help their children or anyone else.

The solar plexus chakra is the one that gets rejected the most because it’s the independent, “me” centered chakra. And it’s also the warrior chakra — the one that fights — so it can quite literally be a threat to others. It’s also the center of personal power. Without a strong solar plexus chakra, we live our lives as victims and believe that others have power over us, because when we can’t own our own solar plexus shadow qualities, we tend to project them onto others.
