In Sanskrit
The term “chakra” in Sanskrit means “wheel” and is a common phrase in Ayurveda, yoga and other traditional holistic medicine practices. The chakras first appeared in the oldest text called the Vedas around 1500 and 500 BC in India, although some Indian scholars believe the system can be traced back even further.
The chakras are described psychic centers of consciousness in the Yoga Upanishads (circa 600B.C.) and again in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (circa 200 B.C.).
This energetic center is associated with the element fire and represents the power of transformation. In tantric traditions, the Manipura is called Dashachchada, Dashadala Padma, or Nabhipadma.

The Solar Plexus Chakra is the third of the chakras and helps influence self-confidence, linking to self-esteem, purpose, and your own natural power.
The Manipura chakra is the doorway to spiritual and astral powers. It also provides cosmic energy through the digestion of food. The Manipura chakra brings you strength and vitality.
A balanced Manipura chakra can filter and cleanse the body of negativity, while at the same time feeding the organs of the body with positive energy, thus enhancing immunity and preventing illnesses.
The Manipura chakra is also linked to movement and sight. Manipura chakra meditation can bring the power to preserve and transform.

You can also use the Dhanurasana - bow pose to stimulate the organs of the stomach. This pose also helps reduce belly fat and keep the organs of the stomach healthy and fit.
