The Manipura Chakra is the “City of Jewels” in which we find the pearls of clarity, wisdom, self-confidence, and well-being. Their luster radiates down to the lower Chakras as well as up to the Heart Centre (Anahata Chakra). The feelings of love and happiness that we feel in our hearts actually originate in the Manipūra Chakra and rise from there to the Heart Centre (Anahata Chakra). The positive radiance emanating from the Manipūra Chakra also purifies the Svādhishthāna and Mūlādhāra Chakras and their qualities.

The Manipura Chakra is the “City of Jewels” in which we
find the pearls of clarity, wisdom, self-confidence, and
well-being. Their luster radiates down to the lower
Chakras as well as up to the Heart Centre (Anahata
Chakra). The feelings of love and happiness that we feel
in our hearts actually originate in the Manipura Chakra and
rise from there to the Heart Centre (Anahata Chakra). The
positive radiance emanating from the Manipura Chakra
also purifies the Swadhishthana Chakra and Muladhara
Chakras and their qualities.
Manichakra is located behind the navel. Its mantra is
'Rum'. When we reach the Chetan Mani Chakra, we have
overcome everything that is negative in Swadhishthana.
Many precious gems in the Manipura Chakra contain
qualities such as clarity, faith, joy, self-assurance, wisdom,
intelligence, and the ability to make the right decisions.
3. The color of the Manipura Chakra is yellow. The animal
representing Manipura is Medha (Aries). Its identical
element is fire, hence it is also known as 'Agni' or 'Sun
Center'. The fire element in the body is manifested in the
same way as heat in the solar system. Manipura is the
center of Chakra Sphutri. It controls our energy for our
health, financial plans, and stability. The effect of this
chakra is like a magnet, which attracts prana from the
universe towards itself.
As the seat of the digestive fire, this chakra identifies with
the pancreas and the process of digestive perception.
Blockages in this center can lead to many health
conditions, such as digestive disorders, circulatory
diseases, diabetes, and fluctuations in blood pressure.
However, a sighted and active Manichakra is very helpful
in good health and helps us to prevent many diseases.
When the range of this chakra's electricity flows, the effect
is like an energy beam, constantly energizing - maintaining
balance and strength.
5. The symbol of the Manipura Chakra is a lotus with ten
petals. It symbolizes the ten pranas, the primeval forces
that control and nourish all the functions of the human
body. An additional symbol of Manika is the triangle,
whose apex points downward. It signifies the spread,
origin, and development of energy. With the activation of
Manichakra, person is freed from negative energies and
purity and power are manifested in his spirit.The ten petals
of the Manipura chakra are dark-blue or black, like a cloud
heavily laden with rain, with the words shan, tha, shan,
tan, tha, dah, dha, nam, pa and phan written in dark blue.
These petals represent the instincts of spiritual ignorance,
thirst, envy, betrayal, shame, fear, hatred, confusion,
stupidity, and sadness.
These petals represent the ten pranas (currents and
energy vibrations), which are controlled by it.
The deities of this chakra are Vishnu and Lakshmi. Lord
Vishnu is the symbol of the rising human consciousness,
which has absolutely no animal character. Goddess
Lakshmi is the symbol - of material and spiritual prosperity,
which flourishes with the grace and blessings of the Lord.
The Color of Manipura Chakra
The color of the third chakra Manipura is yellow. This color
symbolizes energy, intelligence, and a person's
relationship with fire and the sun. Yellow also represents
6. youth, new beginnings, birth, and rebirth. Yellow color
connects us with knowledge and intelligence, people who
are attracted to the yellow color are interested in
intellectual pursuits.
