Your Solar Plexus Chakra and Intuitive Gifts
We are taking a deeper dive into Dr. Lesley Phillips’s book, Intuition And Chakras. We have delved into the first chakra, the root chakra, and the seventh chakra, the crown chakra. We will now explore the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra, and the chakra system. The solar plexus chakra is located in the upper abdomen, around the stomach area above the navel.
Key Takeaways About the Third Chakra
- Location & identity: The third chakra, or solar plexus chakra (Manipura), sits in the upper abdomen and governs personal power, self-esteem, confidence, and willpower.
- Core functions: It is your center of transformation — fueling digestion, decision-making, and the ability to take purposeful action in the world.
- Balance vs. imbalance: A balanced third chakra brings healthy self-worth and motivation; an overactive one can show up as control issues or aggression, while an underactive one manifests as low confidence, indecision, and lethargy.
- Healing practices: Support this chakra through core-strengthening yoga poses (like Boat Pose), deep diaphragmatic breathing, affirmations of personal power, and warming yellow foods and sunlight.
- Everyday check-in: Notice how you speak to yourself and whether you act on your own values — these are the most reliable signals of solar plexus health.
When you nurture your third chakra, you strengthen the bridge between your inner sense of self and the outer actions you take, creating a steady foundation of confidence and clarity.

Understand Your Third Chakra And Related Psychic Gifts – Deep Dive Part 3
The Solar Plexus Function In Physical Reality
The third chakra relates to energy distribution. Energy distribution means how you use your life force energy. How you expend and invest your energy. You can look at the big picture of energy and look at every microsecond level as well. So the idea is that you have a specific amount of energy. The main question is: where are you investing this special force? Is your energy invested in supporting you as you follow your path and life purpose? Or are you investing your energy in looking after everybody else? Are you a people pleaser, putting other people’s needs first and putting yourself last?
That’s something many people do. Your life force energy is meant for you. And it’s meant for you to express your unique, authentic self. But so many of you are distracted and diverted from that. Your lifeforce energy is meant to support you in being your genuine self and living your purpose. But if you think about every day you spend in this body, many different things happen.
You wake up, shower, do your ablutions, and eat breakfast. Then, you may get up and go for a run. Then most of you go to work or do some specific tasks. So, in every moment of these activities, regardless of what they are, your third chakra modulates your energy. It is shifting it up or down. Your energy changes gears, directing it this way or that way. And regardless of what’s going on with you. Whether you’re focused on what you are processing, your third chakra is involved.
The Third Chakra And Your Nonphysical Journey 
Part of what the third chakra does relates to how you use your energy in the physical world. However, it also relates to how you use your energy in the nonphysical world. So your third chakra relates both to your in-body experience and your out-of-body experience.
So what do we mean by out-of-body experiences? A bunch of different things, actually. You could be referring to your Astral experience, which commonly happens when you are asleep and dreaming. Whether you are consciously dreaming or lucidly dreaming.
When you are awake and in your physical body, you are experiencing life on the Earth plane. However, you all travel outside of your bodies when you go to sleep, and you have experiences on the astral plane. So the astral plane is very closely related to the earth plane. So part of your energy is invested in your physical body. And part of your energy is invested in your astral body. The third chakra governs how you distribute energy between those bodies.
The Third Chakra And Your Light Body
So the third chakra controls the energy used in out-of-body experience, astral travel, lucid dreaming, and dreaming, which might be put in a similar category. Of course, it also controls the energy your body uses in physical reality. But these aren’t the only bodies you have. You also have a light body. Your light body allows for interdimensional travel.
This form of travel is when you are outside the body as a pure spirit and not in any corporal form. Maybe the most common experience of that is the tunnel of light. Most commonly, this occurs with near-death experiences. People may experience themselves traveling down this tunnel as a disembodied state.
So we are painting a picture of the landscape governed by your third chakra. So, there are specific rules of engagement in your earthly body and during your earth plane experience. These rules include limits of time and space. You are also operating from this vehicle called a physical body. This body comes equipped with physical senses, intellect, emotions, and many other things that help you navigate physical reality. These can also limit your experience on the earth plane.
When you are outside of the body, you are not dealing with the same landscape. So, in your Astral adventures, you may notice that time doesn’t work in the same way while dreaming. Space doesn’t work the same way.
As an example, you are dreaming. In this dream, you have a thought. Let’s say the thought is that you are chatting to somebody at a train station. And someone asks, “Oh, where are you going?” You reply that you are going to Moscow. In the dream, as soon as you say that, boom, you can be in Moscow. But, of course, if that were happening in physical reality, you’d have to get on the train. So your physical reality experience is limited by time and space. Your out-of-body experience is not so. You are not governed by the same experience of time or space in your astral body and lucid dreaming state.
The Third Chakra Governs Your Out-Of-Body Memory
And another thing worth mentioning is that the third chakra governs your out-of-body memory. So just think about it. When you are in your physical system, it’s not an enormous challenge for most of you to remember things. Mainly because you only do one thing at a time, more or less. You only experience one thing at a time. You experience your life in linear time and space.
But once you are outside of the body, you are in this infinite landscape of possibilities. This landscape is no longer governed by time and space. So your experience is infinite. And you can’t bring infinity into the finite. So your Astral memory is a function of the third chakra. It decides what you will remember and what you need to bring into the body. And then helps you store the information from the out-of-body state.
In a way, some of what you are experiencing in the out-of-body state is happening nearer to the earth plane vibrationally, and some further away. And so the higher in vibration and dimensionality that you go, which you do in your out-of-body state, the less sense much of it makes to your waking physical self.
Some of what happens in the out-of-body state will not make sense to you. Sometimes, you have dreams and wonder what they were all about. What was their more profound meaning? Attempts to symbolize and translate the dream experience can be frustrating. Because the out-of-body experience you have been having is so different from your experiences within the body. So you attempt to bring it down to a level that you can comprehend. ”

Psychic Abilities: Another Solar Plexus Function
Another psychic ability or intuitive aspect governed by the third chakra is the out-of-body experience of shamanic journeying. It’s also possible, rather than waiting until you are dreaming, to consciously step into your astral body and out of your physical body. And all the great spiritual masters can operate both bodies simultaneously. And that’s why you get stories of Jesus teaching in the Middle East and in India at the same time. This is because he was highly evolved. Not only could he operate his astral body and physical body simultaneously, but he could also be observed in his astral body.
This may be because sometimes the experience of seeing a ghost is actually seeing somebody’s astral body. Perhaps not always, but possibly in some cases.
Third Chakra Healing – Clearing Your Lifeforce Energy
So, what kind of challenges can you face concerning your third chakra? One issue is energy misappropriation. It refers to how you are using your lifeforce energy. Are you using it to be your authentic self? Or are you a people pleaser, running around and using it to be responsible for everybody else?
Another challenge is the idea of competition levels. The third chakra often relates to things like social status. If your solar plexus chakra’s energy is unbalanced or blocked, you may worry a lot about how you are perceived. You may also genuinely worry about your success in the world. For example, making money.
Often, this out-of-alignment energy suggests there is a hierarchy of people, and you need to climb the ladder. You need to be better than someone else, and they need to be worse than you are. And you need to control others so that you can stay the top dog. So all of those kinds of things are third chakra growth cycles.
Your life force energy is your power. And really, true power has nothing to do with power over other people. It’s not being Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump. It’s being a master of your own energy. This balance and mastery will support you in doing what you came here to do. Which is to be yourself, bring your unique vibration onto the planet, and share it with you all. So learning how to unblock chakras and do a solar plexus chakra healing is important to living your life to the fullest.
7 Simple Steps to Heal and Balance Your Third Chakra: The 7-Step Daily Practice
This is the single, definitive routine for healing and balancing your third chakra — follow only these five steps, in this order, each day. Whether your goal is healing an imbalance or building daily balance, this routine replaces any separate breath, release, empowerment, grounding, or bodywork exercises you may have seen elsewhere, because it combines them into one integrated flow so you always know exactly which steps to follow.
- Begin with solar plexus breath. Sit quietly, place your hands just above your navel, and take 10 slow, deep breaths. Visualize golden-yellow light filling this area with each inhale, releasing tension on each exhale.
- Release other people’s energy. Close your eyes and imagine a grounding cord running from your first chakra down into the earth. Ask the earth to neutralize any energy that isn’t yours, then refill the space with your own energy. Still seated, visualize burning away any energy in your third chakra that doesn’t belong to you — obligations, expectations, or other people’s opinions — and refill the space with your own authentic vibration.
- Claim your personal power. Practice saying “no” without guilt and make one decision each day purely from your own truth, rather than to please others or compete for status.
- Ground and center. Ground to the earth and run your energy before stressful situations, so you respond from confidence instead of control or fear of being judged.
- Seal with affirmations and movement. Add core-strengthening movement such as yoga twists or breathwork while repeating “I am the master of my own energy” to stimulate the solar plexus area.
- Affirm your personal power. Repeat affirmations such as “I trust myself,” “I am the authority in my own life,” and “I release the need to control others.” Say them aloud each morning to reprogram old competition-and-approval patterns.
- Set one boundary this week. Because misappropriated energy often comes from people-pleasing, practice saying no to one small request that doesn’t serve you. Each boundary you hold returns lifeforce energy to your own center.
Quick reference: Breath → Release → Empower → Ground → Affirm & Move. If you ever encounter a similar third chakra exercise elsewhere — including the five simple healing steps that circulate in shorter guides — treat it as a variation of one of these seven steps rather than a separate routine to add on top. There is one unified practice only; no second, competing sequence exists.
Do these steps regularly—daily if possible—and you will gradually cleanse that “dirty window” and restore your third chakra to a state of balanced, authentic power.
So, in general, your spiritual life and path should focus equally on healing and developing your intuition. Because in my opinion, you can’t have one without the other. Or you can, but you’ll quickly fall out of balance if you don’t heal yourself. So one block to your intuition is that all this stuff you have stored in the energy field of your chakras is like trying to look through a dirty window and get a clear picture of your world. So you need to cleanse the window to tune into your psychic abilities more easily. That activity raises your vibration. This will also help you tune into the nonphysical world.

Join us on this episode of Unlocking Your Truth, Understand Your Third Chakra And Related Psychic Gifts | Deep Dive Part 3, and learn the secrets to your out-of-body experiences in conjunction with your chakra system.
Here are some of the questions and comments from listeners during the broadcast of Understand Your Third Chakra And Related Psychic Gifts | Deep Dive Part 3:
- Brian – So that’s how we can bi-locate?
- Katie – Lately, almost every day, I’ve been waking up during a REM cycle (according to my Fitbit), with or without my alarm. For example, this morning, as I was getting ready for work. I think I was feeling an out-of-body experience, and toward the end of my workday, I felt like I was not myself, not who I wanted to be. Would you take a look at this, please? Does this have something to do with waking during REM?
- Brian – What chakra do we use if we can connect telepathically with animals? A friend had mentioned they believe I have that psychic ability. Could you look at that for me? I’ve had some interesting experiences lately, and many memories are coming up to support them.
- Carol – I always wonder if I have an out-of-body experience during my dreams. Is there a chance for other spirits to take over my body? Is that why my body won’t settle when I try to fall asleep? Does my body notice other beings around and try to protect itself by not falling asleep?
- CM – I always thought that meditation means silencing the mind. I tried so many different meditations until I came across the one you teach from the mystery school, which changed my life. It’s extraordinary…I can literally sit in my meditation for hours!
- Susan – Is the Divine spark similar to sitting in power?
- Amanda – Trying to figure out if going through a divorce after 10 years with a narcissist is worth the energy. I left everything I own with a promise he made; now he’s broken it. Will it be worth my energy to recover financially?
- Shelby – I also believe the tone of someone’s voice helps me learn and do my meditations, so I can physically feel the shifts. So sometimes, when I meditate, I hear your voice.
- Cole – What about walk-ins? I’ve read that some people literally abandon their bodies/lives, and another spirit resumes the life, but it takes a different path? I don’t think it’s common, but I have heard of it. Wondered if you could comment? https://drlesleyphillips.com/spirituality/angel-walk-in/
- SG – How come it doesn’t happen when I set intentions to have a specific dream or get ancestral visits or something to happen? Do I not believe enough in what I want?
