The Solar plexus chakra
The name of the Solar plexus chakra - Manipura - comes from the Sanskrit word that means place of jewels. The main role of Solar Plexus chakra is to maintain us physically & mentally active and guide us to a long natural health. It is our own center of power where we hold our gut feelings and where we form our experiences. It also regulates digestion, metabolism, liver, stomach, adrenals and the nervous system. Located right above the navel, this energy center is the focal point of our power, will, ego, authority, self-control and discipline.
This reiki chakra regulates the spleen, pancreas, stomach and the liver. It is one of our main power reiki chakras and also the center of the etheric-psychic intuition, a non-specific sense of knowledge, a vague, non-specific sense of size, shape and intent of our being.
The main role of the Solar plexus chakra is to create a center for life as well as emotional energies. It is considered that the third chakra forms the best between the ages of 15 and 21. Its purpose is to create a shaping of being and it is also related to transformation and purification.
