The sacral chakra, or Swadhisthana in Sanskrit, is located in the lower abdomen just below the coccyx
or tailbone. The chakra color of the second chakra is orange, and its element is water. It is associated
primarily with emotional responses and regulation and is often referred to as the seat of emotions. It is
also associated with the sense of taste and with reproductive function.
Because of its close physical connection with the pelvis area and the reproductive organs, this chakra is
also the center of the search for pleasure, whether sensual or through your daily life experiences.
Abundant creativity and strongly felt intuition are two additional facets of an open sacral chakra.
I enjoy life fully could be the sacral chakras motto. An open, balanced sacral chakra allows you to
experience intimacy and love freely and fully, to be honest and non-judgmental about your desires, and
to live as your authentic self without fear.
Why Heal Your Second Chakra?
A blockage in the second chakra can cause both physical and emotional distress if not healed. Chakras
are points in the body that moderate energy, allowing it to flow freely and maintain health and vitality.
Unfortunately, the chakras can develop blockages that limit that energy flow. Chakra healing aims at
restoring balance and freeing any blockage or kink in your energy body that prevents it from functioning
optimally.
Chakras can become either over- or underactive, each leading to slightly different symptoms.
An overactive sacral chakra can cause:
Emotional overreactions
Codependency
Low libido
Pessimism, depression
To balance and heal this chakra, its important to develop discrimination, especially with regards to
energy drains from people and bad habits.
5. Negative and Destructive Emotions
Envy, jealousy, anger, rage are characteristics of an imbalanced second chakra. Of course, they are
detrimental to our feeling of well-being and disempowering.
If you notice you have tendency to overreact when someone challenges you or has differing opinions by
going to rage easily or intense frustration, pay attention to techniques to manage emotions with more
awareness and balance.
6. Physical Health and the Sacral Chakra
From a physical health perspective, healing your second chakra can also help heal or prevent more
serious problems such as infertility, ectopic pregnancies or multiple miscarriages, prostate and testicular
diseases, endometriosis and ovarian cysts.
Tools And Techniques To Heal Your Second Chakra
A blockage of energy in the sacral chakra can be healed with regular practice designed to stimulate the
chakra, which allows energy to flow into it and excess energy to dissipate. Chakra balancing can be
helped along by a healer, but there are many things you can do on your own as well.
Meditation
Meditation is very useful for chakra cleansing and balancing. For example, a simple sacral chakra
healing meditation consists in envisioning an orange lotus or orange crescent moon in the area of the
second chakra in the pelvis area. Hold that image in your mind for a few minutes while breathing
deeply.
Sacral Chakra Healing foods
Dietary changes can also help cleanse your second chakra. Oranges, melons, coconuts and other sweet
fruits are good sacral chakra healing food. Cinnamon is also useful, as is drinking plenty of water.
such, the second chakra magnetizes experiences based on its state and the direction provided by the
other chakras. Attraction and repulsions are strongly linked to the sacral chakra.
Healing the second chakra therefore consists in being more mindful of ones thoughts and intentions, as
well as being more aware of the types of emotions arising at specific moments.
Questions To Guide Your Chakra Healing
Self-inquiry is a useful tool to heal the sacral chakra. By understanding our emotions and reactions, we
can better defuse the unconscious programming ruling our actions. This allows to choose how we react
and see our emotions as useful indicators rather than being ruled by them.
Ask yourself the following questions to assess your second chakra:
What is attractive to you? What repels you? How does it guide the way you live your life?
Are you confident about your self-image? Or do you doubt yourself often?
Do you feel ruled by your emotions? Or are you emotionally aware and conscious?
Are you often indulging in lifes little pleasures to the point of losing balance (turning the quest
for pleasure into an insatiable obsession)? Or do you enjoy each experiences through a healthy
moderation and self-discipline ?
Are you feeling alive most of the time? Or does life feel dull?
