Tipheret is the central balancing sefirah of the whole Kabbalah Tree of Life, as every sefirah except Malkhut flows into it. It is the midway point between heaven and earth on the direct line extending down from Keter to Malchut. Tipheret is on the central balancing column of the tree, harmonizing and synthesizing the boundless outpouring of Chesed, with the severe restrictions of Gevurah. Ideally, it leans slightly toward Chesed and thus it is also called Rachamim, Mercy or compassion. It is referred to as beauty for its harmonious blending of all the sefirot.

ReplyDeleteManipura Chakra (Navel or Solar Plexus); Tiferet
“In the same way that the sun continually radiates energy to the planets, Manipura chakra radiates and distributes pranic energy throughout the entire human framework, regulating and energizing the activity of the various organs, systems and processes of life.” Poorly functioning Manipura means lack of vitality, depression and ill health.
If this is true regarding the physical body, the more important it is psychologically. Manipura or Tiferet is the Self, the midpoint of the psyche. “It is the centre of dynamism, energy, will and achievement and is often compared to the dazzling heat and power of the sun.”
“When the consciousness evolves to Manipura, one acquires a spiritual perspective.” This refers to the position of Tiferet as the Kingdom of Heaven. In Mooladhara and Swadhisthana the consciousness is still preoccupied with personal matters and resolving old karmas, but in Manipura one starts to realize the possibilities in becoming truly human.
However at this level one may fall for money, sex and power instead of striving for truth, goodness and beauty. The temptations are becoming more subtle as one starts developing siddhis or psychic powers. Attachment to these powers often makes one believe one has “arrived”, thus blocking further development.
