Purpose and Function of 3rd Chakra

The solar plexus chakra represents our sun and our power center. Here we absorb the solar energy which nurtures our ethereal body which in turn helps to maintain and vitalize our physical body. In this area of our body our emotional energy radiates. It is relevant to our relations with others, our likes and dislikes and also the ability to enter into long term relationships and for the most part are controlled by this center. 

For the ordinary person the 3rd chakra represents the foundation of their personality. Here we can find our social identity and social patterns.
The most important part of this chakra consists of purifying the desires and wishes of the lower chakras, consciously controlling and using creative energy and allowing spiritual richness of the higher chakras to manifest in the material world. It is also directly connected to the astral body, which is also known as the center of our wishes and desires. If this chakra is blocked we can feel gloomy or unbalanced. Through the solar plexus chakra we also directly perceive the energies and vibrations of others and react accordingly. 

SIGNS OF HARMONIOUS FUNCTIONING 3rd CHAKRA
When this chakra is functioning well you have a sense of peace and inner harmony with yourself in general. You will possess a natural capacity to accept your feeling, your wishes and your experiences and see them in the “right perspective”. You will be full of light and energy and this in turn will protect you from negative vibrations in your environment. If both your inner eye and crown chakra are also open you wishes are often fulfilled spontaneously because you are so closely connected to the energy of light in all things.

You are in need of inner serenity and will find it difficult to let go of things and relax.
