yellow is related to prosperity – the color of the sun. solar plexus chakra is often likened to the personal sun – it is our personal furnace – the storehouse of life energies. this centre represents the sense of self and place in the world. manipura is a centre of transformation both physical and emotional. this centre is clearly related to the emotional life – our emotions are registered through the body but especially through the solar plexus. the solar plexus is our place of empowerment, self expression and the rightful use of will as self determination and as our personal fire.
