The Solar Plexus has to do with mood, emotion, need, desire, and depth. It is both a motor and a center of emotional awareness.
Defined Solar Plexus
A continual source of emotional energy and potential awareness that operates in a wave of ups and downs, moods and feelings, which are always coloring one’s experience. Creates a fixed emotional chemistry. Requires time to process through the range of emotions and awareness, which eventually leads to clarity or settledness. It can bring beauty, passion, sexual energy, desire, and melancholy to the experience of life. Brings depth, warmth, richness, and complexity to life when the emotional process is embraced and explored. In an unhealthy state, it puts emotional pressure on others to resolve, make sense of, or fix the emotional process. It acts impulsively out of a momentary emotion, which creates chaos. Tries to come up with reasons for emotions rather than accepting them as an intensity of energy in the moment.
Attempts to escape the full movement of the emotional wave or fixates on only one aspect of it. Expects others to be engaged in an emotional process or blames others for one’s own emotional experience. A healthy emotional process requires patience.
Undefined Solar Plexus
Able to feel and sympathize with the emotions of others and to experience a wide range of emotions. Can see who is emotionally clear, aware, and deep, and help others to become emotionally aware. In an unhealthy state, amplifies and acts out others’ emotions, seeks to control or fix others’ feelings, makes decisions from a state of emotional overwhelm, and avoids confrontation and dealing with the truth to avoid others’ emotional reactions. Plays nice, over-harmonizes, and maintains a secret life, hides, or lies, shielding oneself from the truth to avoid the inevitable actions and communications required to live in truth with oneself.
