5 Warning Signs Your Third Chakra Is Weak

5 Warning Signs Your Third Chakra Is Weak

It is not so much work that tires us, but ego-driven work. When we are selfishly involved we cannot help worrying about our success or failure. The preoccupation with results makes us tense, and our anxiety exhausts us. Do not ask “Am I equal to the task?” It is enough that the job needs to be done and that you are doing your best to get it done.
–Eknath Easwaren

This is the third in a series of seven articles on your seven chakras, after the First Chakra and the Second Chakra.

Daily Imbalance is Automatic. Daily Balancing Is A Choice 

Before we jump into the specifics of the Third Chakra, it is helpful to step back and understand some important principles about chakras in general.

Our chakras are part of how we are designed as humans. We are all united by the fact that we have chakras and chakras behave the same way for all of us. The better you understand your chakras, the better you will be able to notice when things are out of balance and do something to bring them back into balance.

Chakras are collecting pools of subtle energy, and subtle energy is by nature very sensitive to mental, emotional, physical and spiritual inputs.

It is very easy for chakras to get out of balance. In fact, you can pretty much guarantee that your average day will contain multiple things that will put your chakras out of balance.

The good news is that it is also very easy to do a simple thing each day to bring them back into balance if you know what to do. Doing simple things each day to help restore your chakras to their proper balance is what these articles are designed to help you do.

The Third Chakra

The Third Chakra is sometimes called the Solar Plexus Chakra. It is located along your spine about two to three inches above your belly button.

It deals with issues of willpower, ambition, and action and is weakened by all forms of shame, embarrassment, and self-consciousness. Physically, it supports your liver, pancreas, gallbladder, stomach, and spleen.

Here are 5 telltale signs that your third chakra is weak.

1. You see yourself as powerless compared to some and powerful compared to others. 

This may show up in being overly submissive in some situations and a tyrant in others.

2. You have lots of different ways of shaming yourself and frequently feel embarrassed by imagining what other people think about you.

It’s not so much that you’re afraid to fail; it’s more that you’re afraid to appear to others to be a failure.

3. You see the future as full of danger, and you also see change as a threat.

So you play it safe and try to protect what you think you have.

4. You are highly goal oriented and get your sense of meaning and purpose by your list of accomplishments.

If you are not accomplishing something bigger and better, you feel like a failure. You are generally highly stressed and often comment to others how stressed and busy you are as a badge of honor.

5. You experience any of the following physical symptoms on a frequent or chronic basis:

Digestive problems, ulcers, liver problems, gallstones, pancreas disorders such as diabetes or hypoglycemia.

Five Things You Can Do To Strengthen Your Third Chakra

1. Reflection

Reflect on gardening. Notice what your proper role is as a gardener in growing life. It is a partnership between you and Life.

There is only so much you can do, and most of it is done by Life. It’s probably about 1% you and 99% Life. Yet without your 1%, nothing but weeds would grow.

Apply this to your life, goals, projects, and everything you are taking on that is causing you to feel stressed. Trust Life more and relax and just refocus on what your 1% role is.

2. Redefinition

Focus less on accomplishment and more on contribution. Accomplishment is what makes the ego feel valued. Contribution is what the soul is designed to do.

Accomplishment is completely attached to outcome whereas contribution is not attached to the outcome but is a reward in and of itself.

3. Sound Vibration

Intone the “ah” vowel sound and feel the vibration in your solar plexus area as you hold out the sound. Imagine a bright yellow sun radiating from your solar plexus and sending healing and balancing energy to the vital organs supported by your Third Chakra.

4. Chakra Breath 

Do the “Breath of Fire.” The Breath of Fire is a rapid breath through the nose into the solar plexus. Two cycles per second are about the right speed. In out, in out–in one second.

Originate the muscle pumping movement from your solar plexus and let the breath just come in and out by itself.  Do this for one minute whenever you are feeling low energy, and it will recharge you.

5. Yoga Asana 

Perform the “Washing Machine” yoga asana (see illustration).

Sit cross-legged on the floor. Raise both arms to the square and touch the first finger and thumbs of each hand. Now rotate your entire upper body at the waist to the left as you breathe in and then to the right as you breathe out.

Go back and forth in this motion for thirty to sixty seconds. You are literally cleansing your liver (your body’s primary detoxification organ) as you do this; like squeezing dirty water out of a wet sponge.
