How to Heal the Manipura Chakra
Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means "spinning disc of light." Chakras are centers of vital energy. According to yogic tradition, there are seven major chakras in the body. They run from the bottom of the spine to the top of the head. The manipura chakra is located in the solar plexus area. It governs the stomach and digestion as well as the adrenal glands. Emotionally the manipura chakra relates to joy, ego, self-respect and the intellect. When you are lacking energy, feeling depressed, or need confidence and motivation, it may be time to heal this chakra.

Lie down or sit in a quiet area where you will not be disturbed, and begin breathing deeply. Place your hands over your stomach: On the inhale, feel your stomach expand and imagine that it is filling with yellow light; on the exhale imagine that you are breathing all the tension out of your stomach and body. Do this slowly and gently for at least six minutes.
