City of Gems

The Manipura Chakra stands for energy, for fire, for enthusiasm, for the talents hidden inside, the esprit. Its color is that of fire, orange. The monks call the chakra translated "The City of Precious Stones". This chakra radiates with its energy, in the keshtra, the energy field, in the entire abdominal region and beyond. The symbolism of the entire chakra can be found in the fire, the representation as an orange triangle indicates the flame.

A fire element

Fire also means the sun, which stands for self-confidence, courage and willpower. It's about Prana, the life energy. Here it sits. A person's charisma is hidden in Manipura, the possibility of making things happen, that is accessible to every person. The chakra stands for the fire element, correspondingly the inner fire, light. It not only controls the adrenal glands but also the entire digestion and the function of the pancreas.

Using the example of the Manipura Chakra, it should be explained that the theory about the energy centers is recognized and known in all spiritual sciences - and is used as an explanatory model. So the Manipura Chakra in Tantra is also called Nabhipankaja and Dashachchada or Dashapatrambuja. In the Vedic scriptures we hear of the Manipuraka or Nabhi Chakra. The Tibetan tradition knows the "red drop". In China we speak of Dantiems in Qiqong, the Sufis describe the Nafs in Lataif-e-sitta. In the Kaballah one can read about the Sephiroth Netzach and Hod.

Open Manipura Chakra

If the navel chakra is ready to receive the energies, it has the power of fire. That means boosts of energy for the temperament, the fire that burns in people, the passion that they can develop, the enthusiasm that they radiate and experience for themselves. Here lies creativity, intuition and truthfulness. With a receptive Nabhi Chakra, you are also open to new experiences, sexual learning successes.

Individual dynamics

This is where the opportunity for positive self-expression is anchored, and this is where the motivations to implement your concerns with power lie. The dynamics of individual life are positively affected here, always in harmony with the other chakras.

Closed Manipura Chakra

The Manipura Chakra is often represented by ten petals, in white or blue. They represent the negative currents in a person's life. So here we find the negative thoughts about betrayal and confusion, the spiritual ignorance. Likewise about envy, sadness and fear, greed and disgust, stupidity and shamelessness.

Dissolve the thought system

As we can see, a whole concept of life rests here, a system of thought that needs to be transcended. Because not the fight with the body, not the desperate attempt to cleanse one's chakras, to make ready to accept the truth, only the little will, the little trust in the source, the creation, the love, are necessary. No more.

Exercise

Deep abdominal breathing

As trivial as the next exercise may seem, it is a way to train your awareness, a little signpost that you set yourself so that you can continue to see the path. We're talking about abdominal breathing. Breathing - energy and vibration are always transported here. Abdominal breathing would be the natural way of breathing, but many factors in our lives have atrophied this conscious way of breathing.

Include in the day

By including this exercise in your daily routine, more oxygen is transported into your body, the abdominal organs and the heart receive a kind of massage, an increase in energy reaches your brain, and the venous blood gets better into the head area. The life energy is balanced and stimulated. You get more mental power.

Change energies

The technique of deep abdominal breathing is also well suited to convert restless feelings, energies such as anger and fear, including stage fright, into positive energies. The solar energy, stored in the solar plexus, below the Manipura Chakra is activated.

Easy relaxation

Shavasana, the back relaxation position, is a light exercise that you should do before and after each exercise unit, sometimes also between the exercise units (asanas). "Shavasana" means "standing in the dead". I mean, the body is completely relaxed. Stimuli from the outside world are not interesting. Now it's about your own inner universe.

In the stomach

So lie flat on your back with your hands at the side of your body. Relax. Drive your breathing rate down. Now, when your pulse and breathing are calm, slowly sit up straight. Put your left hand on your stomach. Breathe in through your nose for 3-4 seconds, pushing your stomach a little forward. Now breathe out again, also for about 3 - 4 seconds, the stomach goes inwards.

New strength

Visualize, imagine that when you breathe in, fresh energy and new strength flows into your body, you breathe it in, that strength. As you exhale, imagine sending out love and light, in all directions, across the globe. It is excellent to repeat the words during the breathing exercise: "Energy and strength" on the inhale and "Light and love" on the exhale. Repeat this exercise about 10 times. You can also practice this while sitting, lying down or standing.

The M's

It's time for a little rest. Relax lying down or sitting, have a bite to eat, have a sip.

Reluctance

As you may have noticed during the 1st devotion and just now, concentrating on the subject is sometimes a rather difficult story. This applies to meditation exercises as well as to the seriousness of the practical exercises, the continuity of the training of the butterfly muscle. To conclude today's lesson, we'll be a little restrained.

Fleeting touches

One partner lies down on their back with their arms relaxed next to the body. The person opposite kneels to the side next to him and starts from the crown chakra, which he touches briefly at the beginning, shaped like a bowl with both hands, palms down, about 1 centimeter from the body of the lying partner, the Visiting chakras. To absorb your energy one by one, to amplify it.

All time of the world

The forehead chakra is also touched very briefly. Likewise the larynx chakra. To go down we activate various energies by touching the nipples with a fleeting breath. Then we stroke the solar plexus chakra for a moment. This is the end of the touch during this exercise. Reluctance! Take a lot of time!

Tame lust

You continue after touching the solar plexus chakra with your palms, slide about one centimeter above the area of the sexual chakra, then over the area in which the root chakra is located. Do this exercise, sensing the energies between the chakras, as slowly as possible. Tame your lust. The lying partner will now lie comfortably on his stomach. You repeat the exploration of the chakras as described. The restraint can easily be dropped after the end of the exercise.

Exercise for singles

Get to the center

Exercise for single people - whether male or female - is also about restraint. You lie flat on your back. Lie comfortably with your hands on the floor next to you. Close your eyes. Now focus on your breathing. Lower your breathing rate - you can control this by counting your exhalations and inhalations. Come to the center, to calm down.

Manifest Prana

Now direct your thoughts to your crown chakra, at the top of your head. Feel the energy that is around you manifest there. Feel very carefully, you will feel it tingling. Now slowly raise your hands, lift them over your head, like a bowl, as if you wanted to protect your hairstyle from the rain. Touch the crown chakra lightly.

Touch the chakras gently and fleetingly

Now take the energy into the bowls of your hands and slowly and evenly distribute it over all the other chakras. Concentrate on the respective chakra, feel how it absorbs the energy. In front of the solar plexus chakra, gently touch both nipples. So you touch the chakras up to the sexual chakra that you don't touch, not even the root chakra.

Reluctance!

Let your hands drop next to your body again, and recharge your batteries with light and energy in your crown chakra. Repeat the slow, even distribution, the brief, gentle touch of the chakra points, the nipples. If the exercise is over after two to three repetitions, you can let go of the restraint.

Tasks

Again, you should definitely do at least one of the training sessions to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
