The third chakra is the solar plexus chakra, also known as manipura, located in the middle of the abdomen, behind the navel. The element is fire and it is where we store our life force energy. Power is a key word for the third chakra as it is connected to willpower, personal power and power of transformation.
Balanced Solar Plexus Chakra: Feeling of inner harmony, self-acceptance, emotional balance and self confidence. Ability to meet challenges, respect for yourself and others. High metabolism, high energy level, being optimistic and responsible.
Imbalanced Solar Plexus Chakra may occur as: Digestive issues, diabetes, gallstone, allergies, problems with stomach and liver. Low self esteem, lack of self-control, poor ability to make decisions and taking actions, anger and control issues. Tiredness, difficulty concentrating, daydreaming, living in past or future. Behaviors governed by fear not love, unable to set boundaries, to say no and to stand up for yourself. Fear of rejection and criticism as well as depression or anxiety.
