3º Chakra: Manipura

It is found on Mount Uluru in Australia, also known as Ayers Rock together with Kata Tjuta. For Aborigines, this is the ancestral period when the world was forming. Kata Tjuta is considered the formation of Uluru's sister rock.

The third chakra, the solar plexus chakra, speaks to your ability to be confident and in control of your life. Think back to the last time you had butterflies or felt a pit in the stomach: That's the Manipura chakra at work. If your solar plexus chakra is blocked, you might feel overwhelming amounts of shame and self-doubt. Those with open sacral chakras are free to express their true selves.
