The body part associated with the Ratna family is the abdomen and intestines. It is involved in the processing of external elements (earth, fire, wind, and space) into internal elements through digestion and breathing. It is through this process that we gain nourishment and strength. Without this process, we would not have life.
We need to pay attention to our diet and the foods that strengthen or weaken us. We need to focus on things that nourish us physically and provide us strength. We need to examine our lifestyle in this regard and notice the advantage of Balance in the various types of food.
The term "gut-feelings", and intuition and the psychic senses are all aspects of Ratna energy that show its connection to the intestines. Intuition is really about feeling the texture of a current situation or the potential texture of a future situation. It's mostly a matter of our degree of sensitivity to this texture.
Again in the realm of Feeling, we need to pay attention to feelings of emotional, and spiritual nourishment, balance, and enrichment or strengthening.
The Navel Chakra contains a 64 petalled lotus. These petals represent the sub-channels that flow from the three main energy channels of our body throughout the abdominal region. These subchannels of the Navel Chakra provide a vehicle for our Feelings. Whenever we experience a feeling, we are experiencing the energy flowing through these subchannels.
So the main practices at this point are two. In relation to the Navel Chakra, we pay attention to our digestive and breathing processes (breathing with the abdomen). In relation to our feelings, we pay attention to our intuitions and to our sense of positive, negative, and neutral and our sense of degree or texture in these feelings. We pay attention to support, nourishment, and balance.
We should also pay attention to the digestive and breathing processes of others and to others' intuitions as well and pay attention to any insight that we gain from comparing their experience with ours.
