Welcome to the Solar Plexus Chakra - where your fire lives, sis.

In Root, we got grounded.

In Sacral, we flowed, felt, and reclaimed our joy.

Now?

We rise.

This is the energy center that reminds you:“I TRUST MYSELF. I CAN. I DO..”

When this chakra is aligned? You’re out here walking with your head high, taking bold steps, trusting your gut, and making moves that honor your worth.

When it’s blocked or dimmed? You second-guess everything. You shrink. You hesitate. You give your power away.

What is the Solar Power Center?

Your solar plexus chakra, aka Manipura, is your center of personal power and identity. It governs your willpower, determination, confidence, and the fire that fuels your actions.

It’s that “watch me” energy. The vibe that says: I know who I am and I’m not afraid to show up fully.

This week we’re stoking that inner fire — so you leave class and life moving like the boss you are.

How we’re working this center this week:

On the mat: Core activation, twisting postures, strong standing sequences — movements that awaken and strengthen your center.

In your journal: Prompts to reconnect you with your inner knowing, your power, your bold self. In your life: Say no when it’s a no. Say yes when it’s aligned. Set them boundaries. Honor your worth.

In your energy: Move with conviction. Trust your gut. Take action on the things that matter to YOU.

Signs your Solar Power Center is LIT:

✔️ You feel confident and self-assured

✔️ You take action on your ideas

✔️ You trust your intuition and gut feelings

✔️ You hold strong, healthy boundaries

✔️ You radiate personal magnetism

Signs it needs a recharge:

❌ You feel insecure or full of self-doubt

❌ You second-guess your decisions

❌ You avoid taking action or fear failure

❌ You let other people’s opinions override your own

❌ You struggle with setting or maintaining boundaries

Your mantra this week:

“I trust myself. I honor my power. I take aligned action.”

Journal prompt:

Where in my life am I ready to show up more fully — and what is one bold action I can take this week to step into my power?

Listen.....

Let me be clear - your light is not too much. You are not too loud. You are not too bold. You are not too powerful. You are exactly as luminous as you are meant to be.

This week in Aligned AF, we’re building that fire. Moving with strength. Speaking truth. Standing tall in our power.

Go shine. Go slay. Go do the damn thing. 💛🔥
