The Solar Plexus is the energy center that pertains to self-worth, confidence, and willpower. It is located below the ribs between the Heart and Sacral and it most often yellow in color. A balanced solar plexus enables us to show our personalities and let them shine.

Sometimes we have goals and dreams, passions, or things that are close to our hearts. We feel passionate about a subject and we believe that it is very important but for whatever reason we are unable to take action on it. When this happens it is most likely a solar plexus issue. We feel that for whatever reason the goal is unrealistic, not important, or that we are not good enough to do it. Many of us have great and wonderful ideas that need to be shared with the world, so we must develop a healthy level of confidence and willpower so that we can make these things happen.

When your solar plexus is balanced you will feel confident about yourself and you will know how to use your power to manifest what you want. Chrysoprase is a lovely crystal for using your power to manifest what is in your highest good.
