🧘  What are Chakras?

Chakras are energy centers throughout the body. “Chakra” or “cakra” in Sanskrit translates to “wheel” and “circle”. Each chakra is an energetic wheel or circle, adding to the overall ebb and flow throughout your body. There are a total of seven primary chakras throughout the body, which include the following: root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown. All seven chakras have a special meaning, connecting to a different part of your physical body and spiritual energy. Maintaining the balance and health of your chakras is imperative for your spiritual hygiene. 

🧡  Sacral Chakra Meaning 

The sacral chakra, a.k.a. the “Svadhisthana”, is the second of your seven primary chakras. The sacral chakra builds upon the root chakra, which sets the foundation for your energetic field and flow. With the help of the root chakra, the sacral chakra acts as a portal for creative and sensual energy. It’s thought of as the “seat” for your passions, self-expression, and creation. The sacral chakra represents your ability to feel joy, pleasure, and excitement. You tap into your sacral chakras when you feel the urge to create something, express yourself, or sensually connect with others. In so many ways, the sacral chakra acts as a conduit for your physical, emotional, and spiritual energies. The sacral chakra allows you to make something of your energy, be it sexual gratification or indulging in a pastime. Since the sacral chakra is emotionally complex and deep, it helps you connect to the water element. Your sacral chakra assists with emotional processing, acting as a guide to redirect and channel your feelings into something productive. A strong sacral chakra provides the happiness necessary for playfulness and creativity.

🤗   Where is the Sacral Chakra Located?

The sacral chakra’s location sits in the lower lumbar region, right above the root chakra, which is located at the base of your spine. The sacral chakra is roughly below the navel near the reproductive organs. As a result, the sacral chakra is often associated with sex organs as well as the kidneys and lower abdomen. Its location speaks volumes to what the sacral chakra offers, which is creation. Activating your sacral chakra allows you to feel more connected with your sensuality and desires. You may feel more confident in your sexuality and in expressing your passion when you are connected with your sacral chakra. Not only will you feel more attractive and magnetic, but you will also be more aware of the emotional impact of your creativity. An open sacral chakra feels playful, fun, and lively. You will glow with sensual and creative vibrancy, which comes from tapping into your sacral chakra’s location.

🟠  Healthy v.s. Unhealthy Sacral Chakra

How do you know if your chakra is energetically healthy or unhealthy? Doing semi-regular aura photos to check on the chakras by analyzing the colors of their aura. An aura photos can show irregularities, dysfunctions, and more affecting a specific chakra. Check which aura colors come up, since that will allude to the health and energy of a specific chakra. Your sacral chakra will come up if you have an orange aura.

Additionally, you might intuitively or unconsciously know when one of your chakras feels out of alignment. Sometimes, an off-kilter chakra presents as more bruising, physical blockages, and even pain. At other times, a misaligned chakra can impact your mental and emotional health. With this in mind, an aligned chakra can provide ample stability and openness to your mind, body, and soul.

A healthy sacral chakra feels expressive. Everything delights and inspires you. Life feels full, beautiful, and vibrant. Since there’s a lightness around and within you, you may feel more playful. Leaning into your passions comes easily. There’s no second-guessing regarding your decisions or what brings a smile to your face. Your joy may come from indulging in your pastimes and hobbies, but it could also come from fulfilling your desire. Sexual expression and openness feel natural, safe, and exciting. You won’t feel nervous opening up to someone you care about. Intimacy is easy. As a result, you may feel like you’re living life to the fullest because you’re able to enjoy it.

However, an unhealthy sacral chakra feels stuck. Instead of feeling fulfilled, you might feel bored and restless. Nothing strikes your fancy when your sacral chakra is blocked. You could experience a creative blockage, which may lead to not finishing your passion projects and feeling uninspired when you have time for your hobbies. In fact, you may not even make time for your hobbies and creative endeavors. Just thinking about these things might make you feel tired, insecure, and unmotivated. There could also be a feeling of frustration and anger if you’re usually more playful than this. Sexually, a blocked sacral chakra may suggest that your needs aren’t being met. You could feel unfulfilled if you haven’t acknowledged what you enjoy or what your partner needs to do. Lacking sexual drive could also relate to some sexual issues, such as insecurities or even trauma. You may need to seek counseling to address your sexual blockages. Despite experiencing intimacy issues, you may feel a strong urge to be around others. Being alone might feel scary and anxiety-inducing, so that you may overcompensate. But this is tricky to navigate because you may have a difficult time holding space for your and others’ emotions. Finally, a blocked sacral chakra may present as physical difficulties having sex and even urinary issues. Regardless of how it comes up, you may need to address your blocked sacral chakra by making more time for merriment, intimate connection, and self-expression.
