Un-dealt with Issues: Anyone experiencing dysfunction of the third chakra is having difficulty obtaining or maintaining his/her own "personal power". This intuitive chakra is where we get our "gut instincts" that signal us to do or not to do something. Strong self-esteem is a required for developing intuitive skills.
Mantra: "I CAN "I own my own strength and power. I appreciate all my wonderful qualities that make me unique.

INTUITION PRACTICE:
After clearing your mind with a few cleansing sun breaths practice strengthening your intuition with a couple of exercises.
Owl

Halloween cat

#2: Keep a one-week journal of what crosses your path, from the smallest to the largest detail. 
Look for patterns of color, categories, similar events or events occurring at the same time, etc.
This increases your awareness of messages from the universe.
