The 3 Chakras Destroying Your Gut Health
(And How to Heal the Gut Naturally by Addressing the Real Root Cause)
If your gut constantly feels off — whether it's bloating, cramping, IBS-style chaos, or worse — and nothing you try seems to fully fix it, you’re not alone.
You might have changed your diet, added probiotics, tried supplements, or even cut out entire food groups. But if your gut is still unpredictable or painful, it might be time to look at a root cause no one talks about: the gut health chakra connection.
Your energy system, especially certain chakras, has a profound influence on digestion — and I’ve experienced this first hand. These energy centers aren’t just abstract spiritual ideas — they’re very real energetic pathways deeply connected to your physical body, especially the gut.
😵💫💥And when these different chakras become blocked or out of balance, your gut health is thrown into chaos.
In this post, we’re breaking down the three chakras most responsible for digestive dysfunction, the hidden emotional and spiritual blocks behind them, and what to do if you’re ready to stop the cycle and actually heal the gut naturally.
Why Gut Health Is Energetic (and Spiritual), Not Just Physical
🥦💊Most gut health advice focuses on food: eat this, avoid that, take this supplement. And yes, nutrition matters — but food alone can’t and will never heal your stomach problems. For 8 years of my life I lived with never ending hospital stays, surgeries, medications and diets all due to my chronic gut issues.
Doctors told me I’d probably be in and out of the hospital for the rest of my life and that my gut problems were just something I would have to live with and manage.
Now, it’s been six years since I’ve been anywhere near a hospital… I eat what I want and live my life to the fullest and its all thanks to balancing the three chakras laid out in this post.
But WHY is there a Gut Health Chakra Connection?
Your chakras are designed to have life force energy flow through them freely at all times and it is this life force energy (that flows through the entire universe and everything that exists) that gives you life and vitality.
🚫You cannot survive without this life force energy and when this energy is blocked from entering certain parts of your physical body, through blockages in the energy centers, those areas begin to suffer.
🚦Think of each one of your chakras as its own traffic crossroads. When all the lanes are open, cars are flowing freely and reaching their destinations — this represents your life force energy moving where it needs to go.
🚧But when you start blocking off some of the lanes, traffic builds up, nothing can get through properly, and chaos begins to unfold.
🚑Now imagine an ambulance trying to get through that crossroads because there’s a medical emergency — this represents a health issue in your body that needs urgent attention.
But because the lanes are blocked, the ambulance can’t reach its destination, and the paramedics can’t deliver the treatment needed to heal.
This shows how a blocked chakra can interfere with the flow of energy in your body, stopping vital healing signals from reaching where they’re needed and contributing to physical health problems.
🥗You can try all the diets, supplements and medications in the world but if you don’t heal the real energetic cause of your gut problems, nothing will heal long term. If you’ve found yourself searching terms like ‘gut health spiritual’ or feeling like your stomach problems are connected to something deeper, your intuition is right.
When your chakras are blocked or imbalanced — especially the three we’re about to cover — your gut can’t function the way it’s meant to. It stays tense, inflamed, or shut down, often showing up as that familiar chakra stomach pain — the kind that nothing seems to fix
1. Solar Plexus Chakra — The Pressure Cooker Behind Your Upper Belly Symptoms
💛The solar plexus chakra is your yellow energy centre, located in the upper stomach area — just below your ribcage and above the belly button.
This chakra is connected to key parts of your digestive system housed in the upper abdomen, including your stomach, pancreas, liver, and upper intestines. It’s the energetic hub of personal power, confidence, and identity — the place where you hold your sense of self-worth and ability to take action in the world.
When your solar plexus chakra is blocked, you may experience a range of gut-related symptoms like bloating, burning pain, indigestion, nausea, or tightness in the upper abdomen. But it doesn't stop at digestion. Because this chakra also governs how you see and value yourself, an imbalance here can also show up as:
😞 Low confidence or self-doubt
🤔 Difficulty making decisions
🤯 Overthinking or trying to control everything
🧩Perfectionism or fear of failure
😔 Shame, guilt, or feeling like you're not good enough
😤 Anger or frustration (often turned inward)
The reason this chakra has such a strong impact on digestion is simple: it sits right in the middle of your upper abdomen — the same place these digestive organs live. When the energy in this area is stuck, blocked, or overheated, it can directly affect the function of the stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and more.
So if you're experiencing digestive issues focused in the upper stomach region, along with feelings of self-doubt, inner pressure, or like you're constantly "not enough" — your solar plexus is likely calling for attention.
2. Sacral Chakra — Emotions, Boundaries, and Gut Chaos
🧡The sacral chakra is your orange energy centre, located in the lower abdomen, just below the belly button. It’s connected to the parts of your digestive system found in this area, including the lower intestines, colon, and bladder.
This chakra governs your ability to process emotions, experience pleasure, set boundaries, and feel connected to your desires. It’s also where you carry emotional memories and relationship wounds — especially those from early life.
When your sacral chakra is blocked, it can create gut symptoms that are unpredictable or reactive. You might experience IBS-style flare-ups, gurgling, bloating, or urgency after emotional stress. But the effects go far beyond digestion. A blocked sacral chakra can also cause:
🌊 Emotional overwhelm or mood swings
😔 Guilt for saying no or prioritising yourself
😶🌫️ Suppressed anger or sadness
🪫 Feeling drained by other people’s emotions
🎨 Disconnection from creativity or joy
🔻 Low libido or hormonal imbalances
🧡 Feeling like your needs never get met
Because this chakra sits in the lower abdomen — the same area as your colon and other elimination organs — it directly affects how easily your body can digest, absorb, and release.
When emotional energy builds up in this space and has no outlet, it often gets stuck in the gut and starts to cause chaos from the inside out.
If your digestion feels sensitive to stress or you’ve noticed that your gut reacts emotionally, your sacral chakra is likely calling for healing.

3. Root Chakra — Survival Mode and Digestive Shutdown
❤️ The root chakra is your red energy centre, located at the base of the spine in the lower pelvic region. It’s closely connected to the parts of your digestive system responsible for elimination and grounding, including the colon, rectum, and adrenal glands.
This chakra governs your sense of physical safety, stability, and survival — the foundation of how secure and supported you feel in the world and in your own body.
When your root chakra is blocked, your body often stays stuck in a low-level survival state, which can severely impact digestion. You might find that your gut feels tight, heavy, or completely shut down. Alongside constipation or irregular bowel movements, you may also notice signs like:
😟 Anxiety or chronic worry about money, health, or the future
🛑 Feeling unsafe, unsupported, or disconnected from your body
💢 Tension in the hips, pelvis, or lower back
🪨 Fatigue, heaviness, or low motivation
😮💨 Difficulty relaxing or “letting go”
🌙 Trouble sleeping or feeling grounded
🔁 Overreliance on routines or control to feel safe
Because this chakra is physically located in the lowest part of the digestive system, it impacts how well your body can release and eliminate — not just waste, but also stored fear and survival stress. When the energy here is blocked, your nervous system never truly feels safe enough to fully rest or digest.
If you’ve tried everything to get your digestion back on track but still feel stuck, tense, or inflamed, your root chakra might be the real reason your body isn’t letting go.
My Story; Gut Health with Chakras
🏥The very last time I was ever in hospital was the same time I finally started understanding how the chakras work — and how they could actually help me heal my chronic gut problems. 💩
🗓️ After a planned surgery where I was only meant to stay a couple of days, the doctors told me my gut had completely shut down and I might be in there for weeks while they tried to figure out how to fix it. I quietly told myself I would fix it myself.
❤️Using the root chakra healing techniques I had just learned, I focused all my energy on two specific practices. The very next day, my gut started working properly again — and I was discharged. The doctors were baffled. You can read more about that here: How Root Chakra Focus Released Me from the Hospital
Final Thoughts: how to heal the gut naturally & Spiritually
Your gut isn’t just a physical system — it’s a deeply emotional and energetic one. While food, supplements, and medications can offer temporary relief, true, lasting healing begins with energy. If your body is still holding onto fear, pressure, or unprocessed emotion, no amount of physical effort will fully solve the problem.
That’s why so many people stay stuck in cycles of bloating, pain, or sensitivity — because the deeper cause hasn’t been addressed.
To truly heal your gut, you have to start where the imbalance begins: in your energy body. Specifically, the root, sacral, and solar plexus chakras — your first three chakras — must be opened, balanced, and supported. These energy centres govern your safety, emotional flow, and personal power, and when they’re blocked, your gut feels it.
Healing these chakras isn’t just spiritual fluff — it’s practical, powerful, and life-changing. I’ve lived it myself, and I’ve watched it work for others again and again.
