What is the Manipura chakra responsible for and where is it located?

Manipura called third chakralocated in our subtle body at the level of the navel near the solar plexus. People who are serious about spiritual practice describe it in the form of a lotus flowerconsisting of 10 petals, which are the symbol of prana. Manipura symbolizes personal inner strength person. Let's take a closer look at what the Manipura chakra is responsible for and where it is located.

In the chakra system, the ordinal number 3 is occupied by Manipura. It is sometimes called the navel yellow chakra or fire chakra for its fiery color. She is situated at the level of the solar plexus and represents circle with petals, which are actually channels, it is through them that energy flows. Each channel petal has a Sanskrit lettering. The letters are a symbolic manifestation of human vice and negativity, which can reflect themselves according to Manipur.

The word "Manipura" in Sanskrit means "treasures", "abundance", "jewels". If you think about these words, then a person who has problems with the fire chakra, is in an exalted enthusiasm for the material sphere... It is with an imbalance in Manipur that an individual begins to overcome an irresistible desire to seize luxury, wealth and strive for high peaks of social status.

Manipura on the subtle plane is responsible for the fire element in the human body.... The chakra can find fire energy through the digestion process. Therefore, if there are disturbances and blockages in the third chakra, this quite often manifests itself as diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.Also, Manipura on the astral plane is associated with emotions, therefore, chakra disruptions can manifest themselves as a lack of vitality and deep apathy.

The third chakra, located in the solar plexus area, can manifest itself in different ways in people, depending on their gender differences. But there are also general properties of Manipura, which are present in both women and men. The manifestation of universal human qualities according to Manipur is as follows:

• the ability to control your emotions, desires and feelings;
• development of their abilities and talent;
• desire to improve and be realized;
• striving for inner freedom of thought, will;

In the sphere of the material world, the general manifestations of Manipura look like this:

• desire for career growth;
• pursuit of well-being;
• self-discipline;
• development of intelligence;
• purposeful character.

If we compare the male body, then stomach of a man is designed in such a way that it is easy for him to interact with energetically heavy food - meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and so on. These foods have low frequency vibrations, and food for men is one of the main values ​​in their lives.

Have women stomach energetically arranged differently. They prefer a vegetable type of food and can satisfy hunger with a small amount of any food. Food for them is not an important attitude in life and, if the opposite happens, this indicates a blockage of the chakra. The female Manipura is able to find energy from many sources of life, while the male chakra is limited in choice.

By its emotional nature Manipur men show yourself systematized and firmlyprotecting your beliefs and life principles at the energy level. Women are less likely to maintain their principles and beliefs, they act much more flexible and their behavior is multivariate.

Despite the fact that the third chakra is present in every person, the level of its development can be different for everyone. If the Manipura chakra is highly developed at the spiritual level, then it manifests its high properties as follows:

• the correct balance of their capabilities with the real situation;
• an effective way to interact with the outside world;
• the manifestation of flexibility, will, intuition and understanding of their needs;
• rational use of vital energy;
• the ability to control and discipline oneself;
• the ability to concentrate energy to achieve a goal;
• the ability to think and express clearly and clearly;

• feeling of inner fear, depression;
• fear of contact with the outside world, helplessness;
• excessive anger, fear, jealousy, obsession;
• striving for self-affirmation at the expense of others;
• cruelty, rudeness, lack of conscience.

Manipura - this is a chakra of a subtle plane, but it also manifests itself on the physical level. She controls the circulatory system and immunity, the gastrointestinal tract and partially the pulmonary system. The following organs and systems are controlled by Manipura:

• capillary and vascular circulatory system;
• small and large intestines;
• gallbladder and liver;
• pancreas;
• spleen;
• stomach.

If the work of the chakra is disrupted on the subtle plane, the manifestations will be visible in a person already in his physical health.... Most often it is indicated by diabetes mellitus, gallstone disease, hepatitis, gastric or intestinal ulcer. A strong chakra imbalance is manifested by allergic reactions or oncological neoplasms.

Such diseases occur in people who are too interested in the material side of life, forgetting about spiritual self-realization. With the pathology of the organs for which Manipura is responsible, it is necessary to begin classes on its development and unblocking.
