Basics

Manipura (or also known Solar Plexus or Navel because its location) is the 3rd chakra for 7 major chakras. This chakra is 1 of most important chakras, because it is center of ego. When that center is open, person allow his own emotions. If cant, then person can feel panic, worry and nervous.

Manipuras "lotus" have 10 petals and it is located at solar plexus. Solar plexus controls adrenals, and weak flow of prana here cause easily releasing of adrenaline and cortison, what affect panic or nervous. Another thing what solar plexus controls, is metabolism system. You can have weak metabolism or problems associated with it if flow of energy is weak in Manipura.

That center is known in qigong and qigong practicers exercise to control their life force-energy through body movements and meditation. When its said that Manipura is associated with the power of fire, it means that tan teins warmth in that area. You can sense the energy of it by placing your hand to front of it. Manipura is associated with dynamism, energy and will-power too, and its tan tein where you find your will to live in physical body in this physical realm.

Purification

If Solar Plexus is under-active/too weak, you may feel nervous and butterflyes in stomack-feeling easily. It may be hard to allow anxious feelings come, and you may feel overwhelmed by them. The feeling of shame can block that chakra and cause negative feelings about persons own personality or body. You may feel  about your me. Unconscious shame usually cause feelings of jealous, envy and foolishness.

Open Manipura makes person outgoing, energyful, social, self-esteem, have strong will and activity. Have courage to take risks. In 4 temperaments, person with over-active Manipura is named choleric. He is then manipulate, egoistic and boss of group. Visualize yellow sun radiating in solar plexus area, that focus more energy to that center. Or then rub your belly, eat, take risks, be social etc. Mudra to strenghten self-esteem is ready when hit thumb and 3rd finger in both hands.

Colour of Manipura is yellow so focusing to color yellow send more energy to that chakra. Use yellow clothes, watch yellow etc. Thats also knew in colour-therapy.
