Crystals for the Summer Solstice and the Solar Plexus Chakra

The summer solstice, referred to as Litha on the Wheel of the Year, brings us into the fire element and the energy of the divine masculine igniting the fire in our belly known as the solar plexus chakra. This is a time of motivation and empowering ourselves and each other to take action and create our own realities. Our thoughts become our actions so we must focus on what we truly want, not what we don’t.

The solar plexus chakra, associated with the color yellow, is located in your belly area above your belly button and it governs your personal power, sense of purpose, self-confidence, and self-respect. When the solar plexus chakra is in balance, you honor your boundaries, feel empowered with a sense of purpose, have self-respect, and a healthy self-esteem. When the solar plexus is out of balance, you may experience physical symptoms such as recurring digestive issues and mental/emotional symptoms such as negative thought patterns, low self-esteem, and feeling insecure. Emotional symptoms could be related to unprocessed emotions and core wounds from childhood.

Check out my I Fill Myself With My Own Love and I Honor My Boundaries listings on Etsy for crystal support for core wounds involving the solar plexus.

Balancing your solar plexus chakra is all about reclaiming your personal power. We empower ourselves by reclaiming the power of choice and free will and by believing what has always been true – we are worthy, we are enough just as we are, we are loveable, and we are divine beings having a human experience. There are many modalities that can help bring your solar plexus chakra back into balance, and crystal healing is one of them. In general any yellow crystal resonates with the solar plexus, but it’s more important to find a crystal that resonates with you. So how do you know if a crystal resonates with your unique vibration? The crystal will let you know in subtle ways that you can learn to recognize. When possible, it’s always best to touch or hold a crystal or at least look at a photo of the one you are considering purchasing.

Solar Plexus support crystals including Golden Tiger's Eye, Golden Healer, Bumblebee Jasper, Citrine, Honey Calcite, Golden Beryl, Yellow Calcite, Yellow Fluorite, and Lemon Calcite.

You know a crystal resonates with you when:

·         you feel a pleasant physical sensation when you hold it

·         you feel a sense of calm or peace

·         you are drawn to it and you think about it even if you didn’t buy it

You know a crystal does NOT resonate with you when:

·         You feel irritable or agitated when holding it

·         You feel an unpleasant physical sensation when holding it

·         You do not like the color or physical appearance of the stone

Once you learn to recognize the subtle ways a crystal speaks to you, you may not need to hold every single stone before you buy it. A lot of times a picture is all you need and you will just “know” the crystal resonates with you.

Some of my favorite summer solstice stones include sunstone (pictured) and fire quartz.

Some of my favorite crystals to support the solar plexus include: honey calcite, citrine, golden healer, golden beryl (heliodor), yellow fluorite, golden tiger's eye, and bumblebee jasper.
