CHAKRA BALANCING

Sacral Chakra – (Svadisthana) – Orange

This is the second of the seven major chakras and associated with the element Water, it is traditionally associated with sexual energy. It does not correspond with the sex organs, but to the original life-sustaining energy behind sexual impulse.

When this chakra is fully developed, it produces the necessary radiance to unite in a bond of love with another soul and fuels the growth of consciousness to enlightenment. Because this chakra is concerned with assimilation of sexual expression and food, as well as ideas and creativity, it is often referred to as the centre of self-expression and joy.

Any negative emotions held at the Sacral Chakra, such as anger and fear, can eventually cause illness. Nowadays we are told to face our fears, but this is not always appropriate; instead, use those fears as a warning and start to change your patterns of behaviour so that you learn from what once stressed you or caused you fear. People in life threatening situations have sometimes found that their fear is transformed by sending their aggressors unconditional love.

Stress to his chakra causes us to put up defences to avoid our true feelings, especially concerning someone of the opposite sex.

When the radiance of the Sacral chakra begins to flow more freely, the ability to feel both pain and pleasure increases – sometimes in bitter-sweet love affairs. This can make it a real test of courage to move beyond our defences, regain our true self and experience loving intimacy. It is necessary to let you go of past fears, disillusionments and disappointed romantic expectations, which are all unneeded energy imprints held in this chakra.
