Solar Plexus
Could anyone suggest anything to help me open up and clear any blockages from my solar plexus? Thank you.

Qi-gong nine breath method: http://youtu.be/1vzkUUSoGuo
Tumo breathing is a pressurized breath from the belly. It's the step after the nine warrior breaths in the video
Qi-gong doesn't follow the Hindu chakra technique. It teaches about the dantien, which is pretty much the same location as solar plexus and feels similar
Hope this helps

I take it you mean well, but your answer doesn't help, as it's incorrect.
Dan Tien is NOT the same as the solar plexus chakra. It's NOT pretty much at the same location either and it does NOT feel the same, nor does it have a similar function. Dan Tien and any chakra are completely different.
Solar Plexus is located below the breastbone, stomach area. Dan Tien is located below the belly button.
As for their function:
The Taoist concept of dantians as energy centers is similar to the Indian yoga concept of chakras as key points where prana is stored (see also nadis). The major difference, however, is that Taoist dantians are the major energetic storage mechanisms whereas the yogic chakras are not so much storage centers, but energetic vortices which act as intake and output ports. Many traditions consider the dantians and the chakras to be separate, albeit cooperative energetic mechanisms.
The Dan Tien is the Japanese Hara point and the same as the I Am center. And NO WAY is the I Am center the same as a chakra!

Hello,
You can speak to your solar plexus and ask it to remove any blockages. I would suggest doing this by speaking out loud as you look into a mirror. Consider it an affirmation.

Didn't say they were the same thing. That excercise strengthens that general area, whether following the Indian or Asian teachings. The pressure breath can be used on chakras or dantien

Here's what the Wikipedia article about the solar plexis chakra has to say about ways to "open up and clear any blockages from my solar plexus."
"In kundalini yoga, different practices for arousing and balancing the energies of Manipura include various asanas which work on that part of the body, pranayama, Uddiyana bandha (exhaling and pulling back and up the abdomen and diaphragm, respectively) and agnisara kriya (practicing jalandhara bandha, and moving the abdomen in and out), as well as the practice of nauli (stomach churning), and a pranayama called the union of prana and apana, where the lower and higher winds are made to unite together."
