The Third Chakra is named the Solar Plexus; it is found
about one inch below the sternum. If punched there, it knocks the wind out of you
and you'll feel sick. Here we develop the sense of ourselves, how worthy we are,
and discover what direction to follow in life. This is where we find our power, emotional
strength, knowledge and intellect. There is tremendous energy around this chakra, which gives us
purpose and direction, joy and happiness. It is also where our intuition or gut feeling comes from.
If developed further it can bring our psychic ability into awareness; you need to work with the Heart
and Third Eye Chakras to bring compassion, love and vision to this area. It can also be used
to direct sadness upwards out of the body.
Blockages in this chakra can result in stomach and pancreatic problems, gallstones, anorexia,
addictions, fear and anger. Emotionally you would find it difficult dealing with authority figures;
people in positions of power would invaribly seem intimidating, and responsibility would become a
frightening prospect. Self-confidence plummets, and the advice of others always seems best.
When this chakra is open it can help balance the lower ones, ensuring that we are able to forgive
others while regaining confidence in ourselves. Meditation is good for helping unblock this chakra.
Associated crystals include Tigers Eye (boosts confidence, helps communication with others in a calm way);
also Gold Topaz (gives the strength to put our opinions forward and relieves worries and fears).
