The second Chakra is known as the Sacral or Svadhisthana in Sanskrit and is a feminine chakra meaning it draws energy in and if you see a woman with raw sex appeal you know she is deeply connected to her sacral chakra! The energy for the sacral chakra comes from the upwards flow of the root and the energy flows clockwise and is connected to the water element which governs emotions. This chakra is the one which is most commonly blocked in both men and women as society often teaches us to suppress our emotions and work hard to achieve what we want which prevents us fully connecting to how we are really feeling and encourages a outlook of all work and no play.

Artists, actors and social interpreters all have strong sacral chakras, they know how to captivate and entertain others through creativity and expression. They often live life to the max, don’t take themselves too seriously and embrace fun and having a good time! They enjoy exploring new situations and easily form friendships with others. Empaths can often have a difficult time balancing this chakra as it is related to the emotions hence it can be difficult separating the emotions that come from us as opposed others.

Balanced and healthy sacral chakra: Able to embrace desire and explore sexuality, easily forms new friendships and is popular, creates a fun and upbeat vibe whenever they are around, dress smartly and enjoys the attention it attracts, enjoy life and embrace it fully, charismatic and sensual, aware of likes and dislikes and not afraid to express, connected to life and a sense of adventure, secure personal relationships with a healthy sex life.

  Blocked and closed sacral chakra: loners: often like to spend time alone, avoids social contact, not creative, bored, frustrated, no motivation, lack of sex life, not in touch with emotions, often carries a sense of shame with body or self, distrust of others and no joy in life which feels routine and monotonous, hesitant to try new things, afraid to dance or express themselves for fear of judgement, suppresses emotions and has trouble expressing themselves, rigid body, indecisive, finds it hard to receive praise from others, spends the majority of time indoors, often distracted by social media, unproductive, takes no pride in the way they dress or represent themselves to others.

Overly open/active chakra: People who have multiple sexual partners, excessive partying and find commitment difficult

How to re balance the sacral chakra:  Learn to embrace life and have more fun, don’t be afraid to make a fool of yourself and don’t put so much emphasis on what others think! Become aware if you are suppressing emotions and instant find the courage to openly express them, find a new hobby where you can get creative whilst meeting new people and actively push yourself to say hello to strangers, don’t be afraid to resort to a childlike state of mind and enjoy that playful side of your character, don’t spend so much time indoors, slow down and take time for yourself, go shopping and treat yourself to a new outfit that makes you look and feel great, go out more, dance and feel the freedom in your mind and body when you just let go, do things that take you out of your comfort zone.

Learning to express your emotions is not always negative it can be very positive, they are a form of wisdom and can be incredibly insightful and healing.  Fear helps to create an energy which increases self-awareness, Anger helps you to define and set healthy boundaries for yourself and sadness helps to release blocked or stagnant energy which no longer benefits or serves you in any way.
