The Manipura Chakra, often called the Solar Plexus, is the third energy center. Located in the area of the upper abdomen (about two inches above the navel), it is your personal "sun." It is the seat of your willpower, self-esteem, and digestive fire.
Its name translates to "City of Jewels," suggesting that when this chakra is activated, you find the "gems" of clarity, self-confidence, and the power to manifest. It is the bridge between your basic survival (lower chakras) and your emotional/spiritual heart. Overactive: Being controlling, aggressive, overly competitive, or a "workaholic." You may experience "burnout" or digestive issues like ulcers.
Underactive: Low self-esteem, feeling like a "victim," lack of direction, and being easily manipulated by others.
