This is part 2 of a blog series, if you haven't already please begin at Part 1 here: What Is a Chakra & How Are They Linked To Our Overall Wellbeing?
The second chakra: The Svadhisthana chakra is our creativity and sexual center. It is located above the pubic bone, below the navel, and is responsible for our creative expression.
The basic issues affected are creativity, sexuality, money, relationships, empathy, nurturing, pleasure, emotions, movement, change, warmth, and intimacy. It represents your ability to go with the flow – grace and acceptance and allowing yourself to enjoy your life and achievements. The associated body parts are your hips, lower back, sexual organs, bladder, kidneys, stomach, large intestine, pelvis, appendix, and bodily fluids.
Our roles are affected by the programming in this area of fear of abandonment, financial security, social status, children, and creativity. You can be controlled by your fears, level of trust, control, blame, guilt and shame. This area is concerned with daily aspects of living, people to whom we relate, and quality of our relationships. It also relates to everything we own, money, relationships, and passion.
If you are feeling pain or discomfort in your any of these body locations, it may be an indication that there are some emotional issues that need clearing. I see this every day with my clients. Low back pain has a high association with money issues among other things. If you do not have a habit of safely expressing your emotions, it is likely that your lower body is holding onto these emotions until you are ready to process them. Unexpressed and unprocessed emotions do not go away, they take up residence in your energetic and physical bodies.
Children experience so many things and do not know how to handle them, express them or process them and they become part of your beliefs. These beliefs are impacting your relationships and your success as an adult. Remember that the energy travels up through the chakras, so if your root chakra is still holding onto issues of not feeling safe, your sacral chakra is not flowing freely. Fortunately, we can address this and get your life moving smoothly with ease and grace.
Ask yourself these questions to see if you have any stuck energy in your sacral chakra:
1. In what areas do you allow yourself to experience pleasure? Where do you not? 2. Do you feel creative and sensual? 3. How often do you do things that you don’t really enjoy? That you do enjoy? 4. When you do things for others is it from a genuine desire to be of service or are you really trying to win their approval or love? 5. Do you have co-dependent relationships? How do you contribute to them? 6. Do you experience jealousy? 7. Do you trust that life is abundant and there is always enough? 8. Do you allow life to be easy or do you believe you have to struggle and sacrifice and that everything is hard?
