Working with manipura chakra, the energy centre located behind the navel, is the beginning of developing spiritual values. The powers of manipura are separate from the earthly realm. When manipura awakens, one can rise above habits and is free to decide and act at a higher level, through willpower. Manipura is the crossroads from where personal power and spiritual potential begin to unfold.

In Manipura Chakra, Rishi Nityabodhananda discusses the many facets of this chakra, including its place in kundalini yoga, its influence on the personality, its symbology, and practices to awaken and transcend manipura. Written in an easy style full of wit and humour, the book draws from traditional and modern texts on yoga and tantra, and provides a foundational understanding of this essential energy centre in the scheme of human life.
