The Manipura chakra is said to control personal freedom, self-confidence, and authenticity, as well as our sense of self and self-control.
When the Manipura Chakra is in healthy alignment, it removes insecurity. This leads to recognizing inherent power and feeling empowered. Connecting with a strong purpose in life gains a deeper understanding of the individual contributions to achieving success. This brings prosperity in personal and professional life. Letting go of negative things becomes easier since dependency on others is reduced. There is a marked improvement in recognizing self-worth rather than focusing on material things.
Name in Sanskrit: mani meaning “gem,” and pura or puri meaning “city.” So, it is often translated literally as the “city of jewels,” which helps us to metaphorically think of this chakra as our own personal treasure center of power and well-being. It is also believed to have a magnetic effect, attracting prana from the universe to ourselves. Yogic teachings say that this chakra gives us a clear sense of who we are and what our purpose is.
