Its colour is yellow, and it is located a few inches above the navel in the solar plexus area.

This chakra resonates with our personal power in relation to the external world.

It relates to the internalization of consciousness.  Your focus shifts from how you relate to people around you to how you relate to and understand yourself.   The feelings towards the self determine the quality of your life, your relationships, your ability to heal.  You understand and honor the bond you form with yourself.

Self-confirmation and self-respect can only authentically come from yourself.  When you seek it from outside sources you lose energy, perpetuating the cycle of low self-esteem.

HONOUR ONESELF: The spiritual quality inherent in the third chakra compels us to create an identity apart from our tribal self.
