Hi
Fatimasque, my take on this comes from my area of study which may be different to what you have learned. Hope this is helpful...
I don't believe the solar plexus can get "tired". Our body, mind, ego can get tired. The navel chakra is a storage place for life force energy. It can open and close. This life force energy is called prana in Sanskrit (qi as in qigong, and has other names).
Our body is fed by prana. Life force energy comes primarily from oxygen and that's what really feeds the physical body. We get prana from food as well. But as we know air and nutrition are not the only things that give us energy.
We need prana from positive thinking, positive feelings, being in energizing places and with energizing people and doing energizing things.
And then the reverse is true - toxic food, pollution, poor diet, poor lifestyle, too little or too much exercise, too little or too much exercise, same with sleep, sleeping odd hours - all deplete prana
There can be genetic things going on too. Also aging, and other life stages like pregnancy or growth during puberty that drain the navel chakra because it's so busy creating new cells. Also during times of sickness, that area has to work overtime.
And being in a state of constant negative thinking or too much time sitting at the computer, or associating with toxic things, people or situations - all deplete prana.
And then there is a Source of endless prana, unlimited prana which we can learn to tap into by becoming more energy conscious, and the more Kundalini awakens inside (in the sushumna) or if our heart chakra is open and we learn how to use reiki drawing universal unlimited prana through a lineage... Because this Source prana is the same power that makes the planets and stars move in the Universe and is abundant everywhere.
And in spiritual language, the more you can channel your divine nature into everything you do, you intuitively tap into that Source prana.
This boosts the supply in the solar plexus. It's like the difference between AC and DC - plugging into an infinite Source or relying on your own little battery. In life we need both.
In my case, as my body ages I have to be careful of energy drain and work extra hard to boost my energy, knowing my limits and knowing what works for me and what has yet to work for me.
I hope
Fatimasque this helps you figure out where the energy drain is happening and how to recharge it in your case. Good luck.
