The solar plexus chakra is represented with yellow. Putting on a yellow outfit is an easy way to boost this chakra’s energy and put a smile on your face. So, brighten up your day by throwing on a yellow shirt, tossing on some yellow socks, adding a yellow headband to your look, or even painting your nails yellow.[4]
- If you don’t have something yellow to wear, no worries! Try surrounding yourself with yellow instead by setting out some yellow flowers or looking at yellow pictures online.

Touch your fingers together and point them out in front of you. Cross your thumbs, making sure to keep your fingers as straight as possible.
