Solar Plexus Chakra aka Manipura: Body Anatomy

The raised thoracic diaphragm started moving back now. It was the third chakra, the solar plexus chakra called Manipura chakra in Sanskrit; that was ready to dissolve itself with its backward motion taking the thoracic diaphragm horizontally back while maintaining its vertical height that it had gained while dissolving the sacral chakra just below it.
Again in this maneuver too, the care was to be taken that the hips would not push them forward; or else the entire maneuver would have gone distorted.
It wasn’t easy. The muscles supporting the lower back contracted to their maximum in order to stretch the thoracic diaphragm. And it was not only in its center which it had done while dissolving the sacral chakra; but in the middle of its sides, both left and right.
It was really not easy. The abdomen would really be tucked tight at the Hara. The stomach area above the belly button would protrude outside. Thus it made room for the lungs to expand freely as much as they could.
