Introduction Into The Sacral Chakra

,

Svahisthana – The Sacral Chakra. 

The Sacral chakra is the 2nd of the seven chakra energy system. It’s located right below the naval, about 2 inches below your pelvic bone. This chakra is bound to physical pleasure, creativity, sexuality, and so forth. The Sacral Chakra is what allows us to feel joy in things and life. Balancing this chakra is the next step into chakra healing once you’ve healed your root.

An Unbalanced Chakra

Having an unbalanced sacral chakra can lead to many physical disturbances. One might find themselves feeling lazy and unmotivated, maybe even sluggish. An underactive or unbalanced chakra can lead to low self-esteem, major creative block, and even a total lack of self-expression. The love for going to the gym and working out might have diminished. You may even find yourself lacking energy for the bedroom. What happens when our sacral is blocked or unbalanced is physical energy drainage. One might become lazy and unorganized, which can lead to sadness or mild depression. The Sacral chakra governs the reproductive system and stomach.
