Svadhisthana ~ Sacral Chakra

 

The sacral chakra is located above the pubic bone and below the naval. It is the second chakra and is named Svadhisthana. This translates to “sweetness.” So, the sacral charka is all about the sweet stuff in life! An affirmation we can associate with the sacral chakra is, “I allow creativity to flow through me.” This chakra is related to creativity, emotions, and sexual energy. This is all about sensuality, enjoyment, and pleasures in life. Therefore, it allows us to fully feel the world around us.

When the sacral chakra is balanced we feel creative, emotionally grounded, energetic, satisfied in our relationships, playful, and overflowing with passion for life. So, it is very important to seek balance with the sacral chakra. When it is blocked you may feel detached from your emotions and those around you. When it is overactive, you might experience conflict, drama, and unhealthy relationships.
