Mana at the navel — life-centre field

Middle mana field · piko connection

At the navel, the descending mana field meets the middle piko's umbilical life connection. The point therefore combines a geographic transition in the mana gradient with the specifically Hawaiian piko pupu o Hina-kui-a-Lono, without treating the two concepts as identical.
