3rd Chakra
As you journey through life, perhaps you sometimes feel like you lack the motivation and self-confidence to achieve your goals. But did you know that within you lies a powerful source of energy that can help you overcome these obstacles? This energy center is the 3rd chakra, or the solar plexus chakra.
The Solar Plexus Chakra is the center of inventiveness, perseverance, self-control, resolution, and realization of accomplishment (Itcha shakti). You may also know it as Manipura, which is the Sanskrit name for the Solar Plexus Chakra. In Sanskrit, Manipura means City of Jewels. If learning about the seven chakras intrigues you, I invite you to continue reading for an introduction to the 3rd Chakra.
Introduction to the 3rd Chakra
The 3rd chakra is located in the upper abdomen, near the diaphragm. It is represented with the color yellow and the element of fire. In this article, we explore the human qualities associated with the solar plexus chakra, its symbols, order, signs of imbalance, and how to balance it using various techniques and accessories.
Human qualities affected by this chakra include several human qualities such as self-confidence, motivation, willpower, and personal power. When this chakra is in balance, you feel confident in your abilities and motivated to achieve your goals. You can also assert yourself and set healthy boundaries.
On the other hand, when the 3rd chakra is imbalanced, you may experience low self-esteem, lack of motivation, and difficulty asserting yourself. You may also struggle with setting healthy boundaries and feel powerless in certain situations.
