Yellow has been one of my favorite colors for most of my life. I’m attracted to it because of its brightness and it always cheers me up. When I wear yellow, it totally lifts my spirits and makes my day easier. For the purposes of this research, the color most closely associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra or Manipura is yellow.
It’s no surprise that yellow is the most luminous of all the colors of the spectrum. From a positive perspective, it brings enlightenment, creativity, and, optimism. Yellow is also a color that promotes abundance, courage, and self-confidence. But, from another perspective, it might bring out the betrayal, cowardice, egoism, and insane anger in a person if their life is out of balance.
What’s more, the color Yellow traditionally and throughout the ages stands for intellect and wisdom. Keeping this chakra in balance gives you assistance with communication, concentration, logic, and willpower.
However, beware of the darker, unbalanced sides of yellow that might bring out betrayal, cowardice, egoism, and insane anger. Of course, keeping your chakras in balance and in alignment helps to avoid these darker qualities in ourselves.
I also find it very interesting that both the yellow sun and yellow gold shared the qualities of being imperishable, eternal, and indestructible. All this combines to make yellow a highly empowering color!
The Solar Plexus Chakra is symbolized by a circle with 10 petals in which is inscribed a downward-pointing triangle.
This is an energy center that provides momentum to realize your goals and ambitions in your lifetime. As a result, it affects your development of warrior energy and is the drive that helps you to stay the course to success.
