Find Power And Energy With 3Rd Chakra Malas
This is the third of a series that will inform you about the benefits of wearing your mala and saying your mantra for each of the seven chakras.
With the recent increased awareness of the many healing benefits of gemstones, mantras and malas, why not adorn yourself with jewelry that is both sacred and beautiful.
Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means wheel and refers to a system of seven basic energy centers that carry energy, or prana, throughout the body. Open and balanced chakras lead to optimal health, vitality and consciousness.
The third chakra is located at the solar plexus and is known as the power chakra. The element is fire and it is oriented to self-definition and ego-identity. It is the storehouse of energy that distributes prana or life force throughout the entire system, allowing us to project our creative visions into the world thereby becoming creators of our own destiny.
When out of balance, we can become victims of fate and circumstance; allow others to control us by seeking reassurance and validation; or become needy, controlling and demanding and angry. When in balance, we feel energized, effective, empowered and radiant.
This chakra is linked to the color yellow and to the sun and Mars. It responds to music that has the power to move us to the expression of emotion, whether it is joy or sorrow.
The possible physiological benefits for a balanced third chakra are a healthy digestive system, including stomach, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, kidneys and spleen.
