Manipuraka Chakra

Let us now move to the next chakra - the Manipuraka chakra which is located in the navel region.

In Sanskrit, Manipuraka means 'The City of Jewels'.

This chakra is locked when you constantly worry and it flowers when you stop worrying about your worries!

Meditation Technique: Manipuraka Shuddhi Kriya – a technique from Christianity.Let us analyze what 'worry' is.

Can anyone tell me what worry is?

(a lady answers...) Swamiji, we get worried when we think of our business problems or our children or our health...

What you are saying are the reasons for worry. I am not asking you the reasons for worry. I am asking you 'what IS worry'? If I ask you the reasons for worry, this session will never end! Each of you will be ready with a long list –

Swamiji, my business is down...
Swamiji, I have no peace of mind at home!
Swamiji, I have so many problems that you can't even imagine…!
I don't have children, that is my worry!
Swamiji, my children are my worry!

(Loud laughter from the group!)

We all have so many worries all the time. And if we can't find any worries, we will start worrying about not having any worries! We start feeling insecure and so we start thinking about what we can worry about! I tell you, it is a fact! Some elderly retired people come and tell me, “Swamiji, we don't know what to do. Our children are married and settled in their own houses. They don't ask us for anything; we don't know what to do; there is nothing to think about. There's no point in living anymore Swamiji. We want to die peacefully."
