Integration and the Power of the Third Chakra

The Solar Plexus Chakra is the 3rd Chakra and Manipura is it’s Sanskrit name that means “City of Jewels.” The word Mani can be translated as “Jewel and the word pura can be translated as the word city. The 3rd Chakra is the fire center within the body and this Chakra is therefore connected with the element of fire.

In the work of chakra balancing the solar plexus Chakra is the center of the emotions. One might say, “I’m burning up with rage.” Love can also be hot like fire. When we suppress our feelings we find that we may actually experience stomach problems. The work of the solar plexus Chakra is to integrate the opposing forces within oneself that have started to come into consciousness from working with the energy of 2nd Chakra – the Chakra of polarity.

The solar plexus Chakra is concerned in integrating the opposites within us. This involves our withdrawing projections that we visit upon others and that cause us to get hot under the collar. It’s the getting hot under the collar that shows we need to work on third Chakra balancing and healing.

One important thing to be certain about is that one’s emotions are not to be considered bad. However, this has a tendency to be how we often judge those shadow aspects of ourselves that remain non-integrated within us. The better way to view such emotional reactions is to see them simply as being one-sided. Being one sided they are unbalanced. When one cooks these suppressed emotions in the fire of 3rd Chakra consciousness then, metaphorically speaking, we turn lead into gold.

This work of healing solar plexus problems is a process of looking at those character traits within ourselves that we dislike and start to recognize that these disowned aspects still belong to us. In the work of balancing and healing this Chakra we integrate that which we feel is separate within us. In this process we begin to reclaim those parts of us what we have disowned. We move into a state of radical self approval and this starts to give us the facility to more readily access the energy of the heart Chakra – tthe 4th Chakra.

This work of the 3rd Chakra applies in equal measure to what are referred to as positive projections. Such positive projections happen when the individual hero worships another and attributes to the hero talents and potentials that they think they do not have as potential within themselves. When this projection is owned and cooked in the fire of third Chakra consciousness then one’s self esteem is boosted and one is made more aware of not always over estimating other people.

Here is an illustration of the integration of polar opposites through the process of balancing 3rd Chakra energies. Somebody could display an aspect of their character that is seen to be a person who is tight with money. They then then to despise the generous person. The opposite is the case in that the spendthrift person might tend to despise the miser. An individual is a miser because they fear personal wastefulness. Visa versa the spendthrift person is also at war within themselves and fights their miserly tendency. When these two opposing viewpoints are reconciled within the individual we’ve got the proper approach to money. Then we are able to be generous when we want to be and save when we wish to. Our sense of self worth is not in opposition. We have come to a point of reconciliation with the opposites reconciled with the opposites within and can have a healthy relations with money.
