This week brings us to Chakra three which is located between your sternum and
navel. This is your solar plexus region, the seat of your will and this area
deals with combustion and metabolism.
The elemental correspondence here is fire. The equation is matter (chakra 1) +
movement (chakra2) + action, energy (chakra 3) = power (a new state.
The color that vibrates here is yellow and the Sanskrit word for this area
means ‘lustrous gem’
Chakra three’s job is to develop your ability to stand by your own convictions
and your ability to forge unique states of existence. When the qualities of
chakra one combine with those of chakra two and are acted upon by the
transforming qualities of chakra three your energies are raised into new
dimensions which cause change within the thing (your body) itself. Very like
wood (matter) is acted on by movement (heat) converts the matter to energy
which creates the change into the new state of ash. In the chakra system the
‘ash’ is the raised energy that carries you to those new dimensions that I
mentioned before.
Here is where your inner critic will sound off and will lower your self-confidence
if you have any issues with your self-worth or self-reliance. This is the seat
of your personal power and who or what is holding it; ideally, it should be
you. This is also where your focus begins to change so that you are open to
others’ points of view and opinions’. You develop a willingness to reexamine
your concepts of power and begin to see the difference in ‘the power to’ and
‘the power over’.
When you are out of balance in this chakra you will be overly sensitive to the
perceived reactions of others, you may appear indifferent or cold. You will
find that you feel the need for the opinions of others to support your ideas
and you will be over critical of yourself. You may feel inadequate and unworthy
of love. You may even suffer from self-loathing.
Remember that your inner self is much like a child; it believes all things both
negative and positive because it has no filters. With no filters your body will
react instantaneously. (Much like when you are frightened by what you think is
a bug or snake only to realize that it was only a fuzzy or the garden hose)
therefore taking all criticism to heart is not a good idea.
When you are in balance in your third chakra you are able to accept the
responsibilities (and only those) that are truly yours. You are confident in
your own actions and abilities. You can choose and maintain your course of
action without the approval of others. You have the courage and strength to be
who you truly are and are able to act without overpowering others or allowing
them to overpower you.
You will know for a fact that you are in balance when you can take
responsibility for yourself without feeling the need to blame others or act and
think like a victim.
The goals of the third chakra are to create new understanding of the viewpoints
and opinions of others; your ability to collect new information that equals
dawning enlightenment and shifting paradigms; to learn the importance of
balance; becoming aware of larger, Universal patterns; your conscious combining
of your mind and actions to drive your choices and create your will so that you
recognize where you have undesired actions in your life and you can stop them
and make better choices, ones more worthy of you and where you want your life
to be.
