How to Open and Balance Manipur Chakra

In this post I will write about different ways to open and balance Manipur chakra.

By meditation

  • Sit on floor cross legged or on chair with straight back.
  • Close your eyes and take your consciousness at the location of Manipur chakra in the body.
  • Imagine solid soft ball of energy of bright yellow colour in its clear state rotating anticlockwise. Mentally chant the sound ‘Ram’
  • Continue for a few minutes.
  • When you fill complete, open your eyes and relax.

By yogic exercises

The following two exercises are helpful to open Manipur chakra.

1. Udiyanbandh

  • Sit on floor cross legged.
  • Inhale a little and then exhale completely, then pull your whole abdomen inward.
  • Hold for a few seconds.
  • Then release and relax.

2. Agnisarkriya

  • Sit on floor cross-legged.
  • Inhale a little and exhale completely, then move your abdomen muscles in and out for a few times while holding breathe out.
  • Release when you feel complete and relax.
This exercise massages and relaxes all organs of that area.

The above two exercises are also beneficial for digestive system.

Don’t do them without consulting a doctor if you have any serious problem in that region.

By refining exercise

Refining exercise no.2, in the set of refining exercises, is very useful to open Manipur chakra. This exercise clears blockages and dissolves knots created by emotions during evolution of life. It calms down and balances Manipur chakra while activating kundali chakra.

This exercise is also useful to control diabetes, constipation and cholesterol. It improves functioning of digestive system, kidney, liver and spleen.

By yoga asana

Dhanurasana (Bow pose)

 

This asana is useful in opening and balancing Manipur chakra.
  • Lie down on floor on your abdomen with arms on your sides.
  • Bend your legs backwards to knees towards buttocks.
  • Hold legs from ankle by your hand
  • Lift your chest up and pull your legs and thighs upwards making an arch with body like a bow.
  • Hold it for a few seconds.
  • When you feel complete, release your hands and bring your chests and legs down and relax.
