Solar Plexus

The Solar Plexus is related to the metabolic and digestive systems and corresponds to Islets of Langerhans, which are groups of cells in the pancreas. These play a valuable role in digestion, the conversion of food matter into energy for the body. Key issues governed by the Solar Plexus are issues of personal power, fear, anxiety, opinion-formation, introversion, and transition from simple or base emotions to the more complex. Physically, the Solar Plexus governs digestion, mentally it governs personal power, emotionally it governs expansiveness, and spiritually, all matters of growth.

This crystal essence has been specially created using a crystal configuration to balance and help develop the Solar Plexus. It assists in developing emotional connection. It promotes empathy and good energy assimilation, while reducing emotional baggage and emotional imbalances. This essence strives to balance and heal attachments to one's relatives, needy people and previous relationships.
