The Solar Plexus Chakra, also known as ‘The Third Chakra’ or ‘Manipura’, is the repository of energy from which the power of life and vitality flow throughout the entire body.
In Sanskrit, the word Manipura means “lustrous gem,” also “jewel city,” which, in a metaphorical sense relates to something very precious. This chakra is related to inner personal power and element of fire.
The third chakra represents willpower, feelings of power, and identity. It has a remarkable influence when it comes to personality formation and to the development of a strong sense of self, capable of leaving a mark on the world and carving out space for yourself. The solar plexus chakra represents a driving force, an engine propelling thoughts, feelings, and desires.
Solar plexus chakra is related to the ability to know yourself and be aware of your interests. It is the source of energy, which reflects in a positive attitude towards the activities that enables you to develop your talents and abilities freely.
Manipura stimulates the desire to acquire as much life experience as possible and is thus instrumental in personal and emotional growth. Even though the third chakra is subjected to the element of fire, it does not relate solely to the areas of energy and power but also to specific values such as mercy, compassion, and human warmth.
Last but not least, the solar plexus chakra is responsible for transforming the ingested food and oxygen into life energy. Out of all the seven Chakras, the Manipura is the one that will most directly benefit from a healthy diet.
Solar plexus chakra is located just above the navel, in the stomach area, between the first lumbar vertebra and the eleventh thoracic vertebra. Its position in relation to other chakras in the energy body is above the sacral chakra and below the heart chakra.
