Reiki Ease

The third Chakra or Manipura is where our personal power energy is located. Also is where our individuality or ego is stored. Shame is processed here and can keep your chakra out of balanced.
The third chakra is located three fingers up from the navel and is suppose to be orange in color.
This chakra controls our stomach region, liver upper intestines, gall bladder and the middle of the spine.
Having a depleted or low energy may cause low self esteem and no will to get anything done in life. Isolation and depression often are the result of a deficiency in the third chakra. There is not enough energy to push into the higher chakras or the energy stays in the higher chakras and there is none for the lower chakras adding to fear of intimacy and a weak foundation.
Excess energy in the third chakra can lead to being inflated ego and anger when things don’t go as we think they should go. Outside influence are needed to feed the ego and often when there is an end to a relationship or job that is feeding the chakra there can a severe fear and depression until something can prop up the ego. So there is always a fear of losing that energy and this can be a obsession so that little else is allowed in.
With a balanced third chakra you know you are and have good self esteem without having to look outward to reassure yourself of your worth. You can set goals and achieve them without the cost of the rest of your life. Energy flows freely from the lower chakras into the heart region and your relationships are better because you are your own person and not over powering or needy.
