Manipura ( 'city of jewels' in sanskrit )
is the third primary chakra according to the Hindu
Tantric tradition (Shakta).
t is positioned at the navel region and it has ten
petals which match the vrittis of spiritual ignorance,
thirst, jealousy, treachery, shame, fear, disgust,
delusion, foolishness and sadness.
Manipura is associated with dyanamism, energy, and
will-power. It is associated with the power of fire, and
digestion. Manipura is said to radiate and distribute
prana to the rest of the body. In this sense, it is
similar to the Chinese idea of the Dantian, in QiGong.
It is associated with the following:
* Deities: Vahni, Rudra, Lakini
* Element: Fire
* Body Parts: Digestive system, Eyes, Feet
