The solar chakra is a very significant one. It is the 3rd charka in the chakra system. The color of this chakra is yellow like the sun. Like the sun, it has great power. This is the chakra that represents the will, and personal expression, a kind of warrior energy. Warrior energy is not necessarily violent, rather, it is very strong and assertive.
