Is my third chakra over-active?

[Enlilki]

I browsed the forums for the most appropriate place to post this, and this seemed like it, but forgive me if I'm wrong.

I have read in the book 'Wheels of Life' that a bulging stomach could be an indicator of an over-active third chakra. In spite of my small build, my stomach is quite large, even when it's empty.

I know that I can be a very controlling and dominating person, so I'm wondering if my large stomach is a reflection of my potentially over-active third chakra. I'm also ashamed of my belly as I am ashamed of my desire to control and dominate, which makes me further suspect that the two are related.

After completing a chakra test online, I received the following results:

Root:         under-active   (-44%)
Sacral:   open                   (44%)
Navel:   under-active   (6%)
Heart:   under-active   (-6%)
Throat:   open                   (25%)
Third Eye:   over-active           (75%)
Crown:   open                   (12%)

I would appreciate anybody else's insights.

Have you gone to a doctor yet? A bulging stomach can from from many things including being unable to process gluten, some forms of ulcers, or other gastrointestinal issues. I would rule out anything "mundane" before looking for a metaphysical answer. Just my two cents.

First I second the doctor visit, if possible.

Second, I wouldn't put any stock into an online chakra test. Really, don't.

If you want to find out more about the state of your chakras, I'd recommend to make a nice little package of energy work, meditation and visualization out of it.

Then you can rely on your own perception, rather than some online test.

Yep.  And you can always find someone to help balance your chakras while you're at it.

Thanks for the advice. I have been trying to investigate possible physical causes, but it's been a very slow process, getting an appointment arranged with a doctor. In the mean time, I'm just considering other things which may contribute to the problem.

I second the point of ignoring online tests. And propose that you don't worry about it so much (at least after the doctors visit anyways). People have different body types and I've seen your type before it's not so odd. Presuming you really feel that you want to work away from your dominating personality and if it really is connected then your energy will balance out as you do. Change is always a slow thing. You could get your energy balanced and that might help in the short term but if it is a result of your personality then it will just return to the way it was before.

Anyways that's my two cents people have this odd need for energy balance and I've never found it necessary just live your life and let your energy change with you. Hope that helps.
