II. THE FIRST CHAKRA
MANIPURA THE SOLAR PLEXUS
The Solar Plexus in the center of the body brings forth the crude energy of life's beginning. Perhaps, you the disciple on the road to higher learning, have used the term 'gut feeling'. This is but the low animalistic beginning of self awareness. As the umbilical closed to contain your essence and begin your life, so shall be the gateway for the disciple to enter at the door. When that which once was, is remembered, then the new body to the next plane shall be born.
