Maṇipūraka Cakra: the Fire of Transformation
There are seven major energy centers in our body, called cakras in Sanskrit. They are directly connected to our emotions and impact different aspects of our personality and the way we relate to ourselves, others, and to Existence.
Each planet resonates with a particular energy center in the body. The fiery energy of Sun is connected to maṇipūraka cakra located in the navel region. Its energy can sometimes imbalance the cakra, especially when it is channeled towards worrying! Maṇipūraka flowers when you stop worrying about your worries.
A balanced maṇipūraka cakra will confer a good digestion and physical well-being.
It is a proven fact that cakras correspond and affect the functioning of specific glands that constitute the body's endocrine system. This is why worrying imbalances your system, and creates chronic diseases in the long run. Your body and mind are very deeply rooted in our consciousness!
To keep maṇipūraka balanced, bringing awareness into your mind and irritations, practicing meditation and yoga will benefit you. On a higher level, the Sun is connected to sahasrāra cakra, the crown's energy center located at the top of the head. This cakra particularly holds all of the solar qualities, radiating through gratitude and enlightenment. It bestows life and healing around the individual. Learning to foster gratitude will kindle this cakra and will gradually actualize the Sun's radiation in one's life.
Wearing carnelian stone can also contribute to maintain your balance.
