Every person has seven chakras, of which the third chakra is called the solar plexus chakra. The third chakra has a physical influence on, among other things, your stomach, small intestine and blood sugar level. Your third chakra also influences your feelings of self-esteem. You can balance your third chakra with activities that involve heat and fire, such as lighting torches or taking a hot shower.
Where is your third chakra located?
Your third chakra is located at the level of your stomach, a little below your breastbone. The warm radiation of the sun corresponds to your third chakra. That is why your third chakra is also called the solar plexus chakra.
How does your third chakra influence your body?
Each chakra influences a number of specific body parts. Your third chakra affects your stomach, liver, gallbladder, small intestine and muscles. If your third chakra is not in balance, you may notice this, for example, stomach complaints (such as heartburn or stomach ulcers), liver problems (such as hepatitis), gallstones, inflammation of the pancreas or diabetes. This does not apply the other way around: if you develop one of these diseases, the cause does not automatically have to lie with your third chakra.
How does your third chakra influence your hormonal system?
Each chakra also influences a specific (endocrine) gland that secretes a certain hormone. The gland affected by your third chakra is the Islets of Langerhans which are part of your pancreas. The hormones glucagon and insulin are produced here, which ensure that your blood sugar level remains balanced.
How does your third chakra influence your emotions?
The emotion associated with the third chakra is trust and self-confidence. When your third chakra is balanced, you have a strong personal identity, you feel internally powerful and free to make your own choices. If your third chakra is overdeveloped, you can become selfish or even abuse of power. If your third chakra is too weakly developed, there is a risk that you will self-efface and feel inferior to others.
What can you do yourself?
A well-functioning third chakra makes you feel powerful and enjoy life. All activities involving heat and fire can help you strengthen your third chakra. For example, turn on the fireplace, make a fire outside or light torches or candles. Dress yourself nice and warm. Exercising or taking a hot shower will also make you warm. And above all, let the energy of the sun come in. Let the sun help you feel free and trust your own feelings!
