THE THIRD CHAKRA
The SOLAR PLEXUS Chakra or The NABHI
[It is from this Chakra the Ego Identity rises]
Location: Above the navel, below the chest at the Solar Plexus
Color: Yellow
Element: Fire
Glands/Organs: Pancreas, Adrenals, Stomach, Liver, Gallbladder,
Nervous System, Muscles
Gems/Minerals: Citrine, Golden Topaz, Amber, Tiger Eye, Gold
Calcite, Gold
Foods: Starches, Yellow Fruits and Vegetables
This Chakra is known as the Power Chakra. It rules our personal power, will, and autonomy. It is the Chakra of intelligence, the harmonizing of will and emotions, and mental clarity. It regulates the body’s life-force energy, mental activity, and self-empowerment. This Chakra vitalizes the sympathetic nervous system, the digestive process, the metabolism, and emotions. It is the center for movement. It aids in astral projection, transformation, and awakening. This Chakra gives us the sense of contentment and generosity, warmth, humor, and laughter.
Ideally this Chakra brings us energy, effectiveness, radiance, spontaneity, and non-dominating power. You feel alert and confident with a need to excel. It allows one to be outgoing and cheerful, brings self-respect, respect for others, and a strong sense of personal power. It brings the desire to take on new challenges and to enjoy physical activities and good food.
When the 3rd Chakra is congested one can feel emotionally suppressed, confused, and unsure how to take action to achieve a goal. It can bring depression, lack of confidence, worry about what others think, fear of being alone, and a need of constant reassurance.
When over-worked it can lead to being overly competitive and self-centered. It can lead one to be judgmental, a workaholic, a perfectionist, and affectations of being overly intellectual.
When this Chakra is unbalanced, it can lead to taking on more than one can assimilate and utilize, thus diminishing our power of concentration. It can also cause too much emphasis on power and/or recognition leading to intense competitive behavior that can cause burnout. Physical manifestations of an unbalanced 3rd Chakra are mainly digestive problems.
A blocked Solar Plexus Chakra can bring unreasonable anger, fear, and hate. Your energy can leak destructive forces or it can be “stolen” by others (sometimes called “energy vampires”) either known or unknown. Anxiety, deep depression, and lethargy are also signs of blockage.
Keeping the 3rd Chakra healthy and balanced will keep you feeling alert, confident, energetic, and mentally active. Laughter, fun, and humor will flow to and from others. It will contribute to you feeling intelligent, relaxed, spontaneous, and expressive. This will help keep “personal power” in the Aura balanced.
