Sacral 001 - Introduction
SVADHISHTHANA
The sacral chakra is located in the lower abdomen and womb. It is generally thought to be orange. Some people picture it as a clear, vivid orange, like the colour of the fruit. Some picture it a bit lighter or more golden. The brighter you perceive it to be, the healthier it is. We want your chakras to be luminous, clear, and full of light. This means the energy is flowing and balanced.
To unblock energy in your chakra, you focus on filling them with light and letting them let go of any past density that you may hold there.
Tantric traditions believe that this chakra has six vermillion red petals.
Svadhishthana governs pleasure, desire, sexuality, sensuality, and procreation. It is all about the sweetness of life and feeling good. This chakra enlivens your world experience by engaging your senses and emotions. This complicated, rich, and, when in balance, rewarding chakra. A healthy and vibrant sacral chakra will help you enjoy life to the fullest. It brings vitality through pleasure and enjoyment and can be a source of great joy.
When in balance, Svadhishthana gives you the ability to navigate change and the polarities of life. It also resonates pleasure, movement, emotions, sexuality, and nurturance. It helps you engage in the sensory experience of living and integrate that energy into subtle bodies. The human urge to procreate and be close to a romantic partner is part of the dance of the sacral chakra.
The attraction of opposites is the chief force influencing Svadhishthana. You can think of this as the attraction of opposites from a purely physiological sense with men and women and how the areas of the body governed by the sacral chakra are opposite in a way that can result in procreation. That is why this chakra is your creative energy center. It is where you birth what you want to manifest or share with the world.
Feeling lively and creative is critical to a happy life. Ideally, you feel vital, alive, and creative, and you experience the sensory pleasures of life (not just sexual) daily. Those feelings stem from a healthy sacral chakra. Creativity and sweetness in the sacral chakra pave the way for a life of enjoyment.
