Place your hand just above your navel. Count four fingers up and you will find your Manpura (Solar Plexus)
Manpura, which translates to “city of jewels”, is the Chakra connected with wisdom and power.
Associated with the element of Fire, this Energy Center controls your connection to confidence, personality, and identity.
If your solar plexus is blocked, it can bring a lack of control in your life, as well as a loss of identity. You may also experience the following:
• Lack of confidence
• Low self-esteem
• Helplessness
• You may also present some physical and mental signs, including:
• Indecisiveness
• Lack of purpose
• Desire for control
• Being overly critical of self
• Excessive stubbornness
• Anger and aggression
• Being judgmental of others
When you activate the Solar Plexus, and it is working effectively, you:
• Have a strong sense of identity
• Are confident
• Maintain self discipline
• Are motivated and turn thoughts into action
• Have control of your thoughts, emotions, and actions
• Respect yourself and know your worth
To activate, unblock, and balance your 3rd Chakra, connect with fire by spending more time outside on sunny days, or meditate by candlelight.
