Information:

Manipura governs your tapas or inner fire. It is this fire that provides the supply of energy for inner transformation. When balanced, it gives you the resolve or willpower to keep going. When unbalanced, it can lead to stagnation, poor digestion, and a fear of taking control in a weakened state or a need to dominate in an overactive state.

Balance manipura by creating new habits, watching a comedy, and doing exercises such as crunches.
