The second chakra is the Sacral Chakra, located between the pelvis and navel (about three fingers below the belly button) and is considered the seat for our emotions. The sanskrit name is Svadhistana but is often called the creative or sexual chakra because of its connection to passion and pleasure. The element of the sacral chakra is water, and its energy is movement and flow.
Balanced Sacral Chakra: Feelings and creativity flow freely, ability to express ourselves both emotionally and creatively. Self confidence and self approval. Having a healthy relationship with ourselves in order to have healthy boundaries and relationships, both casual and sexual.
Imbalanced Sacral Chakra may occur as: Problems related to sexuality and addictive behaviors. Blocked creativity. Destructive and disconnection to emotions, feeling insecure, over sensitive, powerless and difficulties making decisions. A strong desire to "fit in", for others approval and excessive neediness in relationships. Imbalances may express themselves physically as bladder, uninary or kidney infections.
How to Balance Svadhistana:
- Get to know your feelings and listen to them
- Let go of unhealthy emotions, people, memories...
- Nourish your relationships
- Express yourself creatively
- Create flow in the body by doing yoga or dancing
- Swim, walk in the rain or spend time by the sea (water is the element of this chakra)
- Wear orange clothes and eat orange foods (the color of this chakra)
