This is the third chakra, also referred to as the inner sun, a light within that radiates through your personality. It is also referred to as the celiac plexus. It is a complex set of radiating nerve fibers, or plexus. This chakra is linked to the stomach, abdomen, and upper GI tract, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidney, spleen, adrenal glands and the middle spine. It is linked to the structure of the metabolic system. It is located about two inches above the navel and the edge of the ribcage. We absorb the solar energy; this makes exposure to the sun very important and healthy for this chakra. It is believed that solar energy nurtures the etheric body and helps to maintain a healthy physical state as it radiates positive emotional flow of energy.

The solar plexus is very much linked to the soul. Therefore, if this chakra is kept pure, you will be more in touch with your true feelings and self. Our emotions, magnifying the pure desire of the Higher Self, are intended to amplify the soul and the potential of the soul. ..Lorraine Michaels of Shangrala.org

Chakras are more than spinning, vibrating wheels of energy. Chakras are energy patterns with specific locations in the body. Each location corresponds to the unique aspect of our being in a spiritual sense. Each chakra has its realm of consciousness. This chakra clearly proves the two separate stems of emotion- love and hate.

LOVE- it is the emotion of attraction and integrates the universal energy called love, peace and calmness.

HATE- the stem of repulsion, causing pain and discord, disintegrates the universal energy into hate.
