Manipura Chakra

Recordings compiled from a recent online course, and including content from the archives; the Chakra course at Mandala Yoga ashram in 2002.

This recording is an introduction and a guided reflection to
Manipura Chakra.

The text books, especially those written by Swami Nishchalananda (see ‘Books’ in the header menu), give the standard definitions of the chakras such as location, bija mantras, symbolism etc..

These recordings add a contemporary exploration of the different aspects of each chakra with respect to our individual lives and the expression of our personalities.

Manipura (‘City of Jewels’), is associated with our physical energy among other things. But also the abdomen, domain of Manipura, is considered to hold emotional blockages in many people. Working on Manipura can get the abdominal energy flowing more freely.
