The Solar Plexus
Chakra is associated with the color yellow. It
furthers the development of self-esteem and
personality separate from your tribal identity.
This is where we lean to draw and maintain
boundaries and a personal code of honor.
The third chakra is considered the center of Chi,
the life force energy (also known as Reiki).
Sacred Truth: Honor
Oneself - Be mature and honorable in the
relationship you have with yourself and accept
responsibility for the person you have become. |

[
When this energy is balanced we feel
outgoing,
cheerful, self-respect, respect others, strong sense
of personal power, skilful, intelligent, relaxed,
spontaneous, expressive, take on new challenges,
enjoy physical activities and good food.
When you have deficient yellow energy you may
feel depressed, lack of confidence, worry about what
others think, confused, poor digestion, afraid of
being alone, sexual energy-insecure, need constant
reassurance, jealous and distrustful.
Excessive yellow energy make us feel judgmental,
overly intellectual, sexually inhibited. You
may have trouble showing emotional warmth or may
need drugs to relax.
