the flame of personal power
After the roots of Muladhara and the flowing waters of Svadhisthana, the energy rises and lights the fire: it's time to meet Manipura, the solar plexus chakra. This energy center represents willpower, autonomy, charisma, and the ability to transform reality. It is our inner flame, the sun that illuminates our identity.
When Manipura is balanced, we feel confident, determined, and capable of asserting ourselves. When it's blocked, anger, feelings of helplessness, fear of judgment, or the need for control prevail.
What Manipura represents
Location: in the solar plexus area, just above the navel
Color: yellow
Element: Fire
Function: will, personal power, confidence, transformation
Archetype: The Inner Warrior
Physical body: stomach, liver, pancreas, digestive system
Manipura is the center of our identity. Here we digest not only food, but also emotions and experiences. It's the place where we say "I can" and "I choose." It represents the ability to make decisions, to pursue what feels right for us, and to act with determination.

Guide phrase
“I needle with confidence. My power is at the service of my truth.”
Repeat this phrase whenever you feel insecure, hesitant, or held back. Manipura is the sun within you: it warms, illuminates, and guides. When it is lit, every step becomes voluntary and every choice becomes more conscious.
