PART 2
MEDITATION FOR THE ACTIVATION OF MANIPURA CHAKRA
The third center of force, Manipura Chakra, is placed on a subtle level outside of the physical body, underneath the navel.

The corresponding element is fire ( tejas tattva ), and when this inner fire is balanced, it grants self-confidence, perfect health, a good assimilation of the food and a high energetic level, which allows a person to work hard without getting tired.

This center of force is represented as a lotus with ten petals. The bija mantra for the activation of Manipura Chakra is RAM .

The practitioner may awaken the fire from Manipura Chakra through the perseverant practice of certain asanas, bandhas, pranayama techniques and/or meditations.

The most powerful Hatha Yogic techniques activating Manipura Chakra are Nauli kriya and Uddiyana bandha.

As these techniques are dynamic, you cannot use them as support in the meditation on Manipura Chakra that we are about to introduce to you.

Consequently we suggest another asana activating the third center of force, namely Supta Vajrasana .


THE MEDITATION ITSELF:
Perform Supta Vajrasana. However, you have to practice this asana in advance, so that you may relax in this pose for 20-30 minutes, without any pain.




Maintain this pose, without moving, focusing your attention on the area two widths of a finger beneath the navel, which is the location of Manipura Chakra.

In order to enhance the activation of Manipura Chakra, you may use either music designed specifically for this purpose, or you can mentally repeat the bija mantra.

If you want to use musical support for your meditation, you should check the Tantric Meditation Music section on our site.

If you chose the second option, you will act in the following manner:
Focus on the area beneath the navel and repeat the mantra RAM. After each repetition of the mantra, relax and listen calmly to the inner echo of this mantra.

Do not allow other thoughts to disturb your concentration. Repeat the mantra constantly, and then listen to its echo in your inner universe.

Perceive the activation of Manipura Chakra, it should come as a state of abandon in front of the divine will, as an expansion of your aura and as a state of trust and harmony.


MEDITATION FOR THE ACTIVATION OF ANAHATA CHAKRA
Anahata Chakra or the heart center is placed in the middle of the chest, in the area known as the cardiac plexus.

This center of force is represented as a lotus with 12 petals, and the characteristic bija mantra for the activation of Anahata Chakra is YAM .

This center performs a kind of transition between the inferior chakras , associated to the instincts of survival and the upper chakras, involved in the elevated and spiritual aspects.

This center of force allows us to experience love, devotion, empathy, altruism, tenderness and connects us with the subtle energies of air ( vayu tattva).

In the case of a balanced activation of Anahata Chakra, the person will manifest affection, kindness, abnegation, a capacity for self-sacrifice, romanticism, magnetism, charisma and other comforting abilities.


THE MEDITATION ITSELF:
Sit in Yoga mudra. According to your preferences, you may use either a music designed especially for this purpose, or to mentally repeat the bija mantra.



If you care to use a musical support for your meditation, you may check the Tantric Meditation Music section on our site.

If you chose the second option, you will act in the following manner:
Focus on the area of the chest and repeat mentally the mantra YAM. After each repetition of the mantra, relax and listen calmly the inner echo of this mantra.

Do not allow other thoughts to disturb your concentration. Repeat the mantra constantly, and then listen its echo in your inner universe.

Perceive the activation of Anahata Chakra, a state of abandonment, unconditional love, transfiguration, and a very pure universal kind of love.
