MANIPURA CHAKRA
Manipura or Solar Plexus is the primary third chakra according to Vedic tradition. It speaks to your ability to be confident and in control of your life.
Furthermore, this chakra regulates the digestive system and its respective organs; as a result, it has jurisdiction over both the gut’s emotional brain and stored emotions.
It swirls in the area around the abdomen above the belly button up to the breastbone.
The Manipura chakra provides a fount of personal power and relates to warrior energy, self-esteem, and the power of transformation. It means “lustrous gem” in Sanskrit;
REPRESENTATION AND SYMBOL
The Manipura chakra is symbolized by the colour yellow (or gold) and a downward-pointing triangle within a ten-petaled flower. The solar plexus or Manipura chakra is located at the posterior of the stomach.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS CHAKRA IS BLOCKED or OUT OF BALANCE
A healthy Manipura chakra allows you to know yourself and live with confidence and strength.
Someone with a balanced Manipura chakra will set boundaries and be assertive without being belligerent.
It allows you to know about yourself, judging yourself and others impartially but not disparagingly.
Since it plays such an important role in self-confidence, an imbalance in the Manipura chakra can cause many problems.
Some common symptoms of a blockage include:
- Low self-esteem
- Inability to set or maintain boundaries
- Codependency
- Lack of self-control
- Depression or anxiety
- Addiction
The Manipura chakra is also vital for physical health. It is intently tied to digestive health, but a blockage can also cause an issue with other systems.
Common physical symptoms of a blocked Manipura chakra includes
- Ulcers
- Asthma and other respiratory problems
- Poor digestion, gas, nausea
- Hypoglycemia
- Diabetes
- Organ problems – liver and kidneys
- Arthritis
- Nerve pain and fibromyalgia
- Difficulty gaining or losing weight
HOW TO BALANCE MANIPURA CHAKRA
Healing the Manipura chakra is a great gift to yourself and will make you feel more stable, delighted, shining, and powerful.
Some people feel scared of being commanding, so think powerful like the sun – bright, luminous, and begetting life to all it touches – if the idea of individual power feels uncomfortable for you.
The Manipura chakra and the Sun teach us that when we shine, everyone benefits.
