We've been playing in the manipura and using practices to notice, feel, and connect to the jewels within. Riffing off this, there is a particularly striking example of tuning to the magnificence within in the Darshana Upanishad 4.53 (as brought to me by Ravi in his book 'the Spiritual Roots of Yoga', p. 55). We used this verse as the inspiration for the class today and used the swadisthana as our main area of focus:
"the tirthas of your body
infinitely surpass those of the world,
and the tirtha-of-the-soul is the greatest of them:
the others are nothing beside it."
