The navel chakra can be found between the navel and the bottom of the rib cage. The parts of the body affected are the navel, small intestine, pancreas, gall bladder, digestive system, kidney and the liver. This chakra is in charge of a person's sense of self, where your self-esteem and will power come from. It is sometimes shown as meaning fire, and has aspects of powers that let a person "burn" out the pessimistic aspects of the past and achieve the power to rule and direct your life effectively. It can also help a person learn to meditate and cleanse their spirit from negative thoughts that sometimes cause us to take actions that we later regret. This chakra is a fire element and so it is related to feelings of being thirsty or hungry, or being tired. 4, record 2, English, - navel%20chakra

Grâce au symbole du soleil, le chakra du plexus solaire est le centre du corps, siège des énergies, de la force, de la chaleur, de la lumière et donc de la purification spirituelle. Le 3e chakra est en prise directe avec le corps astral. Il est le point par lequel les émotions sont véhiculées : sympathies et antipathies s’y croisent. De ce fait, il agit directement sur notre comportement en société. Le chakra du plexus solaire est le centre du bien-être personnel, pour être en harmonie avec soi et avec son entourage dans un esprit de tolérance. 5, record 2, French, - chakra%20du%20plexus%20solaire

[Le terme cathérer] désignait anciennement tout tube destiné à être introduit dans l'urètre ou la vessie.

Les termes cathéter, sonde et canules ne sont pas toujours synonymes. En effet, le terme anglais catheter est plus spécifique que le terme français sonde. Seules les sondes creuses, flexibles et de petit calibre correspondent à l'équivalent anglais catheter.
