Awakening Your Manipura or Solar Plexus Chakra

Filed under General

The third chakra, also called the Manipura or solar plexus chakra, is located in the center of the abdomen in the area of the solar plexus. It governs ambition, personal power and will, and vitality. The color associated with the third chakra is bright yellow, the element is fire, and the planet is the Sun. An activated third chakra gives a person a healthy ego and solid sense of self. It imparts the ability to act in and on the world around us, and insures a flow of vital energy and enthusiasm. A good way to activate the third chakra is to get your energy moving: exercise, run, shout, pound a pillow, anything that gets you physically pumped up will do it. Surround yourself with the color yellow and images of fire, or with actual fire itself: a fireplace, a campfire, a burning yellow candle. Chopping wood is an especially powerful way to activate the third chakra, since it gets the entire upper body in motion and encourages a powerful energy flow. It is possible to overactive the third chakra. Signs of overactivation include arrogance, too much ambition, a ‘bully’ archetype that runs roughshod over the needs of others, and a tendency toward being self-centered and narcissistic. If these qualities are present, focus on balancing instead of awakening.
