The Solar Plexus Chakra - Energetic Vitality & Power
This Chakra is known as the power Chakra , located in the solar plexus, or navel area. It rules our personal power, will, and autonomy, as well as our metabolism. When healthy, this chakra brings us energy, effectiveness, spontaneity, and non-dominating power.
The function of the solar plexus chakra, the 3rd chakra, is that of will, power and assertiveness. The energy of this chakra inspires, strengthens and empowers.
The fire chakra is a our center of personal power, and self-discipline, and expresses our confidence in meeting our challenges with enthusiasm and purpose. The natural expression of the fire energy is activity. A strong 3rd chakra exhibits vitality and an expression of enjoyment and enthusiasm for life. Activity develops our sense of power through meeting new challenges and resolving them successfully. To develop energetic vitality we need a healthy self-esteem - achieved with fewer expectations and permission to simply live. Self-esteem brings strength to the will. It is the fire of our will that propels us into action. It is through will that we liberate ourselves from fixed patterns and create new behaviours. As we take action, we transform.
Power is to "be able", it is the ability to transform and bring about action with will, confidence, self-esteem, enthusiasm and activity. Personal power is the ability to determine our own destiny.

Ego Identity
The 3rd chakra is related to your ego identity, which is oriented to self-definition. The ego chooses the intentions and directs the energy to accomplish them. It is here that we identify with our will, behaviour and our actions. With a healthy ego identity we choose our own actions and the consequences. It is the identification that says "I am what I do".
Explore your ego strength:
"Is your sense of self-consistent and strong? Can you stand your ground when challenged?"
"Are you comfortable being different from others?"
Do you constantly seek the attention or approval from others?"
The basic right of the 3rd (navel) chakra is to Act. Action is how we channel our energy into our chosen behaviours.
"Are you able to take action when necessary?"
"Are you able to align your actions with your intentions?"
Do you seek permission to take action?"

Activating your Power Center
Matter and Movement = Energy.
The matter of the earth chakra, and the movement of the water chakra create the dynamic energy and the power of the fire chakra. It is the will of the 3rd chakra that combines the forces of stillness and movement (earth and water) and directs activity.
To strengthen your vital energy, your fire, look for activities that energize you and find ways to increase time for them. When you stick with your goals, and your exercise routines your feelings of power boost your confidence, and in turn, your self-esteem.
Frequent aerobic exercises increases your metabolic efficiency and develops your muscular strength. As your physicality transforms, your energetic vitality grows, your self-esteem increases and your personal power develops. As we take action, we transform.
Analyze yourself in terms of the fire element:
"Are you frequently cold?"
"Do you prefer hold or cold drinks?"
"Do you sweat easily, have fevers, or chills?"
"Is your temperament quick and energetic, or slow and lethargic?"
Your responses are an indication of the excess or deficiency of the fire element within you.
