3. The third energetic center is Manipura chakra, whose area of perception in the physical body is the solar plexus area. It represents expansive consciousness, and the desire for power.

This chakra symbolizes passionate consciousness and dynamism. On a psychic level, this chakra is in charge with will, ego, individuality, expansiveness, self-control, and intelligence.

On a physical level, it coordinates the digestive processes and the activity of the organs situated in the abdomen.

The disharmonious activation of this chakra makes a person struggle for personal power, and the recognition of one's rights even wrongfully and hurting his kind.

"The person who focuses intensely and who meditates on this center of force gets the ability of discovering hidden treasures, will never be touched by illness, will not fear fire, and even if that person sits amidst fire, he will not be harmed. Such a person does not fear death, and his will and power are amazing." (Swami Shivananda)
