What is the Sacral Chakra and what does it govern? Hi Everyone, Have you ever wondered what the chakras are and what they do? Well now is your chance to find out with this guide. Please follow for more in-depth information and guidance to increase your knowledge and understanding . Here we focus on the Sacral Chakra, otherwise known as Svadhisthana. An in depth exploration of the chakras: Sacral (Svadhisthana) Location: below the navel (2nd chakra) Colour: orange Related organs/glands: stomach, spleen, kidneys, adrenal glands Stones and crystals: amber, carnelian, jasper, sun stone Associated Planets: Moon Chakra mantra: Vam Direction of movement clockwise Corresponding Element: water Life Affirmations: ‘My life is full of joy and happiness, ‘I have many friends and enjoy a busy and fulfilling social life’ ‘I practice and manifest abundance in all aspects of my life‘ ‘I am deeply connected to my sensuality and sexuality within’ Governing attributes: , sexual vitality, social butterfly, confident, fun to be around, aware of emotions, creative in many different aspects. The Sacral or Svadhisthana as it is known in Sanskrit is the second Chakra and is a feminine chakra as it draws energy inwards. The energy flows upwards from the root and this chakra has a tendency out of them all to be blocked due to its location next to the root but also mainly because as a society we often have problems in expressing what we really feel and often struggle to find a work/life balance ,often letting work prioritise over other things . If you have ever seen a woman or man who simply has that raw sex appeal and commands attention wherever they go it is likely they have a strong sacral chakra, also actors, artists and social interpreters who all enjoy expressing themselves and what they do to others. These are people who like to enjoy life and have fun, they often have many friends and are very popular. People who are natural empaths can struggle to find balance with this chakra as it is connected to the emotions and therefore they can find it difficult to separate the feelings they are sensing to those of others due to their innate sensitivity. Signs of a healthy and balanced sacral chakra are those who are able to easily relate to and communicate with others, they are optimistic people and always fun to be around, they dress to impress and enjoy the attention it brings, they are deeply sensual and greatly aware of their charms and what they do and do not like, they have a great sense of adventure and are always planning new ideas, they are deeply creative and often have successful personal relationships. Signs of a closed or blocked sacral chakra are people who do like the company of others but prefer to be alone, they are not in contact with their emotional selves and can carry a sense of shame in their bodies sexual or otherwise, they are afraid of others people’s opinions towards them and hence often stay in the safety of their homes when possible. They struggle to be successful at work due to a lack of drive and creativity. Signs of an overly active or open sacral chakra are: Those who continuously have one night stands or casual partnerships as they are unable to commit easily or find focus and fulfilment with the same partner. Learning to re balance the sacral chakra: In short stop taking life so seriously and have some fun, try not to suppress your emotions as they need to be expressed, anger helps to define healthy boundaries and sadness to release blocked energy,be playful and get outdoors when you can to socialise with others, dancing is a great way for you to learn to relax or find a new hobby that is sociable and helps you do something to make the most of your creative streak.
