The Sacral Chakra
The sacral chakra is also called the Svadhistana chakra in Sanskrit. It is associated with the color orange and located a couple of inches below your belly button and in your sexual organs.
This chakra is responsible for emotion, sensuality, creativity, pleasure, and enjoyment. It also helps with relating to others. This chakra is also related to sexuality. For this chakra, it’s important to connect feelings with the body, mind, and spirit. This chakra helps with the affirmation: I feel. It's associated with the water element so water can help to balance it.
A person with a well-balanced sacral chakra feels empathy and warmth toward others. They give in to urges of creativity and have a flow of creative energy through their body, soul, and mind.
A blocked Sacral Chakra can lead to unhealthy feelings around sexuality, either excessive or suppressed. An underactive sacral chakra can lead to a feeling of a lack of control. It can manifest as an inability to cope with life's changes and challenges, which can lead to detaching from emotions or others. When it is overactive, it is overwhelmed with energy, and you feel overwhelmed too, which can manifest as strong emotional reactions, mood swings, or dependence on others.
Sacral Chakra Meditation
For this meditation, start with some deep breaths. Feel the air coming down through your lungs and chest and deep into your belly and diaphragm.
Allow the air to flow to your sacral chakra (2-3 inches below your belly button). Let yourself focus your breath and its energy there.
The sacral chakra is represented by a 6-petaled lotus. Imagine the lotus as a seed. Breath into that seed. Your breath allows roots to slowly start to form, grounding you in yourself, allowing you to feel safe and comfortable within yourself.
Then the seed starts to sprout, creating hope and optimism. As a bud starts to form, allow that optimism to bloom into joy as the lotus slowly opens. See the lotus glowing with orange energy, filled with light, creativity, and sensuality that are all yours.
