The Manipura chakra, also known as the solar plexus chakra, is the third energy center in the body according to yogic traditions. It is located in the upper abdomen, just above the navel, and is associated with personal power, self-esteem, and confidence. The color yellow is often linked to this chakra, symbolizing energy and vitality. When the Manipura chakra is balanced, individuals may feel empowered and motivated to pursue their goals. Conversely, an imbalance can lead to feelings of insecurity, low self-worth, and indecisiveness. Practices such as meditation, yoga, and breathwork can help in balancing this chakra.
