Free Will as the Key to Healing Anxiety and Depression

Do you feel weighed down by an invisible force, unable to move forward? Or perhaps you’re buzzing with restless energy, yet frozen by fear? These sensations of depression and anxiety often trace back to one source: your free will, rooted in the solar plexus chakra. This radiant yellow energy center, glowing just above your navel, is your inner sun, the seat of confidence, courage, and personal power. When it’s blocked, your will falters, sparking emotional turmoil. Let’s dive into how this chakra or energy gate shapes anxiety and depression and how you can reignite your spark, with transformative practices like sound baths and quantum healing.


The solar plexus chakra, or Manipura, meaning “lustrous gem,” governs your ability to act with purpose and authenticity. Its vibrant yellow energy fuels your drive, like a fire lighting your path. When balanced, you feel empowered and unstoppable. But when your free will is stifled by self-doubt, past trauma, subconscious programs or societal pressures this fire dims, leading to emotional and physical imbalances.


Depression often signals a suppressed will, like a flame starved of air. You may feel an emptiness in your core, a void where courage and motivation once thrived. This resonates with countless online searches for relief from feelings of powerlessness. A blocked solar plexus can also cause fatigue or digestive issues, as it governs the stomach. In depression, your will is “pressed down,” leaving you hollow, yearning for vitality. The vibration in this area needs to be healed. 


Anxiety, conversely, feels like an overactive will with no outlet. You have the urge to act, but fear perhaps from learned beliefs that the world isn’t safe, this traps that energy. This creates a knot in your solar plexus, that familiar tightness or churning in your stomach. Now this to an imbalanced solar plexus, fueling worry and indecision. Your soul craves action, but without a clear path, that energy festers, amplifying stress leaving you debilitated. 


You can reclaim your free will and restore balance with simple, powerful practices:

• Breathwork: Inhale deeply, envisioning a golden-yellow light filling your solar plexus. Exhale fear and doubt. This calms your nervous system and frees trapped energy. Lean somatic breathing .

• Affirmations: Declare, “I am bold, powerful, and free to act.” These words rewire limiting beliefs, awakening your inner strength.

• Movement: Try yoga poses like Boat or Sun Salutations to energize your core. Even a sunny walk can recharge your solar plexus with the sun’s fiery essence.

• Visualization: Meditate, picturing a glowing yellow sun in your abdomen, dissolving blocks and radiating confidence.
