A man has an enormous reservoir of energy within him. Kundalini Shakti is one such cosmic power that lies dormant in the Muladhara Chakra near the anus.
In Awakening Kundalini Shakti series we have already covered the Muladhara Chakra and Swadhisthan Chakra or sacral chakra. One should activate his Root chakra or Muladhara chakra and Swadhisthan Chakra or sacral chakra before going to activate the Nabi Chakra or Manipur chakra to avoid an adverse effect on the body.
Nabhi Chakra or Manipur Chakra
Location: Navel
Root letter : ram
Deity : Vishnu
Meditation leads to knowledge to body, stomach ailments cured.
The third chakra is the one that gives us the sense of generosity, complete satisfaction and contentment.
On the left side, the main quality of this center is peace – clearing this chakra can relieve stress and tensions.
On the right side, it looks after our laiver which is the organ of our attention and power of concentration.
When energy is not flowing freely from this chakra we have problems with self-esteem and confidence, our sense of adequacy, issues around responsibility and feeling caught in the middle and deprived of the sweet things in life. It is the power center of the body. Will power, being perfectionistic and self critical is a problem with a third chakra imbalance. You may feel weighed down emotionally and physically (weight problems). You may have diseases associated with the stomach (eating disorders), upper bowel (Crohns disease, diverticulosis, malabsorption/ maldigestion), kidneys, gall bladder, liver (all three organs can have stones), addictions, pancreas (diabetes) and adrenal glands. Excessive yang can lead to aggressiveness or greed. Balance of this chakra will give self-motivation.
When enlightened by the Kundalini, the Nabhi chakra gives us our spiritual ascent, righteousness and inner sense of morality and complete balance at all levels in our life.
