The Third Chakra: Power |
|
|
|
Manipura, meaning "lustrous gem," is the third chakra and is located at the solar plexus (between belly button and bottom of rib cage). It is symbolized by the color yellow and a triangle within a lotus with ten petals. Its issues are personal power, self esteem, willfulness and energy, and it is related to the metabolic and digestive systems. A healthy balance in the Manipura Chakra would be shown as having motivation, purpose, and confidence.

Go back to that state of pure being, where the I am" is still in its purity before it got contaminated with "this I am" or "that I am." Sri Ramana Maharshi |
