The Solar Plexus: The Alchemist’s Gateway for Transformation
We explore how the solar plexus acts as the alchemist’s gateway, transforming the raw energies of survival and desire from the root and sacral chakras into personal power and purpose. Using the metaphor of a canal’s locks, we guide you through an intentional breathing process to raise your energy, level by level, unlocking transformation at the solar plexus and moving toward higher states of growth. Learn how to harmonize your internal flow and keep rising, just like a ship crossing from one ocean to another.

The solar plexus chakra stands as the gateway for transformation, where raw survival energy is refined into purposeful power. Positioned just above the root and sacral chakras, it harnesses the primal forces of survival and desire, alchemizing them into personal strength and clarity.
From Survive to Strive to Thrive
Energy flows upward through the lower chakras, much like a ship rising through the locks of a canal. Each lock represents a stage of transition:
Survival (root chakra): We begin with grounding energy, rooted in stability and security.
Desire (sacral chakra): Next, creativity and desire fuel us to strive for more.
Power (solar plexus chakra): Here, the energy of survival and desire is transformed into action—this is where we go from merely surviving to striving, seeking to make our mark in the world.
But the journey doesn’t stop at striving. When the solar plexus is fully activated, this energy rises toward the heart chakra and beyond, where we experience a shift from striving to thriving—living in alignment with our core purpose.
The Flow of Energy: From Potential to Purpose
Picture energy rising from your lower chakras like water filling the locks of a canal. As each chakra is activated, the energy lifts higher, passing through the solar plexus, the alchemist’s gateway, where survival is transmuted into personal power. From there, it flows toward the heart, throat, and mind—each lock a stage in your growth.
This energy, once activated through intentional breathing and focus, helps you transition from survival mode (reactive) to striving (seeking improvement), and ultimately into thriving (aligned with purpose and growth).
Breathing to Activate Transformation
To encourage this energy flow, conscious breathing helps regulate and guide the energy upward through each chakra lock:
Inhale deeply, drawing energy from your root chakra—feel the stability and connection to the Earth.
Hold the breath, allowing the energy to rise and fill the sacral chakra, igniting creativity and desire.
Release in stages as the energy flows up to the solar plexus. Here, visualize the energy transforming, gathering power and clarity.
As you exhale, guide this power up towards the heart chakra, letting it expand outward into compassion and love.
Continue this process to build up your energy and turn up the volume.
Keep Growing, Keep Rising
The journey from survival to thriving is ongoing and dynamic. Every breath, every intention, draws energy upward, transforming it into something more. By harnessing the power of your solar plexus, you can rise beyond mere survival, striving toward the ultimate goal of thriving—living with purpose, clarity, and strength.
