Manipura · “City of jewels”

The jewelled city at the navel — a downward-pointing triangle of fire within a ten-petalled lotus. To the Nath yogis this is Madhyama-Shakti, the intermediate stage of self-discovery, where will and inner sun are forged.
What the solar plexus chakra governs
Personal power, confidence, willpower, and identity.
☀ When it's open
You feel confident and self-directed, able to set boundaries and pursue goals without needing approval.
☾ When it's blocked
A blocked solar plexus shows up as low self-esteem, indecision, people-pleasing, or — when overactive — a need to control everything.
How to rebalance your solar plexus chakra
- ◆Write down one win and say it out loud
- ◆Set a single bold intention for the day
- ◆Soak up 10 minutes of morning sunlight
Chant its seed-sound
Ram̐
“I am worthy and capable, and I take up my rightful space.”
