Manipura wrap
Citrine (light & dark) with amethyst, citrine and amethyst charm This wrap bracelet complements the manipura chakra, which is the third chakra (energy nexus) located just below the bellybutton. The word manipura is Sanskrit: "mani" means "gem", and "pura" means "city", therefore the literal meaning of this chakra is "city of jewels". This chakra is linked to confidence, inner strength, and wellbeing. Associated with the color yellow and linked to the element fire, this chakra invokes the willpower required to achieve our true desires. When the manipura chakra is in balance, we manifest courage, drive, and passion. In an imbalanced state, we may feel as though we have lost our lust for life, or drive for wellbeing. In yogic philosophy, our prana (life force) flows through nadis (energy channels) in the body. There are thousands of nadis in the body, but the most important (or, at least well-known) is the sushumna nadi, which is called the central channel and runs along the spine. Th
