Yellow Sapphire Chakra Healing and Balancing Energy
Yellow Sapphire activates the Solar Plexus Chakra, the energy distribution center and the chakra of relationships. This chakra is located between the ribcage and navel, and controls the immune and digestive systems. When balanced physically, we have strength to fight infections, are free of allergic reactions, and are able to use the nutrients we ingest. When the solar plexus is out of balance spiritually, we feel fear - of the disappointment or displeasure of others, or to subordinating our life and pleasures to the will of others. Spiritually, when the solar plexus is in balance we are free to interpret the world through our own thoughts and emotions and not live in fear of violating the dictums of others.

It lends the perseverance needed to overcome obstacles, and the understanding that not all blocks to success are counter to Divine Will. Whether it is an issue with Divine timing or one needs to learn a lesson by overcoming the obstacle, Yellow Sapphire helps discern the difference from being called upon to overcome a problem from being asked to go in a different direction.
