Manipura Chakra
The Navel Chakra
The third Chakra, Manipura is the fire centre within the body. Also known as the solar plexus, there is a warmth and a lightness to a person who is balanced in Manipura. Located at the navel centre, this chakra is related to the element of fire. This fire at the navel is one which burns through our limiting thoughts and behaviours allow us to transmuted and transform.
