Part 6/8:
To activate and invigorate the Manipura chakra, specific Kriyas or yogic exercises are recommended. The speaker mentions two primary breathing techniques: Bhastrika (bellows breathing) and Kapalabhati (skull shining breath). These practices focus on dynamic breathing patterns, where practitioners engage their abdominal muscles to enhance lung capacity and energy flow:
Bhastrika (Bellows Breathing): Effective in stimulating the solar plexus, Bhastrika involves forcefully inhaling and exhaling in quick succession, energizing the body.
Kapalabhati (Skull Shining Breath): This focuses on a series of forceful exhalations followed by passive inhalations, emphasizing abdominal control and enhancing clarity and vitality.
