Sacral Chakra Meaning

Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana in Sanskrit) is the second chakra in the chakra system. It is located a few inches below our navel. Its element is water. Our Sacral Chakra is about creation, creativity, happiness and joy.

Sacral Chakra Purpose

Our imagination, creativity, sexuality and playfulness are closely connected to the Sacral Chakra. A healthy Sacral Chakra enables us to enjoy life to the fullest. If our Sacral Chakra is activated and balanced, we can effortlessly express our emotions and tap into our creative abilities.

We feel inspired and motivated to work towards fulfilling our dreams and goals. We are full of energy and we allow ourselves to feel sexual pleasure, without feeling guilty, ashamed or withdrawn.

If our Sacral Chakra is healthy, we feel confident, ambitious, enthusiastic and empowered. Our personal relationships flourish and our work projects thrive. We can easily breathe life into our creative ideas and visions and we enjoy going with the flow.

We are not afraid to take a leap of faith and step into the unknown without seeing the outcome. We are not afraid to surrender control and let our intuition guide us when making important decisions in life. We know that trusting our gut instinct and taking risks can lead us to wonderful opportunities that we might otherwise miss.

Sacral Chakra Healing

It is very common to have an imbalanced Sacral Chakra. This can manifest as toxic relationships, issues with sexuality and fertility. Oftentimes energy leaks take place through this chakra. If our Sacral Chakra is weak, energy vampires can easily steal our life energy. These could be our loved ones, friends or colleagues, and most of the times we don´t even realize that this is happening.

Energy leaks through the Sacral Chakra happen when we are surrounded by negative, depressed or aggressive people. This chakra can easily become blocked due to emotional abuse or sexual trauma.

If we have suppressed our thoughts and feelings for a long period of time, there is a great chance that our Sacral Chakra has become blocked. If our sense of self-worth and self-respect is low, we definitely have some problems with this chakra.

An imbalanced Sacral Chakra causes creative blocks, difficulties with self-expression, overthinking, self-doubt and indecisiveness. The main health issues associated with this chakra are: lack of energy and extreme exhaustion, digestive complaints, stomach problems, weak kidneys, lower back pain, lack of sexual desire and fertility issues.

One of the best ways to activate and heal the Sacral Chakra is to let our imagination flow freely. We should strive to do something creative every day, no matter whether it is painting, writing poems, arranging flowers, cooking an aesthetically pleasing meal or dancing to the beat of our favorite music. Even daydreaming and visualizing our goals turn to reality can have an immensely healing effect for this chakra.

Since the element of the Sacral Chakra is water, it is beneficial to go swimming or spend some time near water to balance this chakra.  To heal the Sacral Chakra, we should also allow ourselves to be swept away by romantic feelings and not be afraid of or feel guilty about intimacy and sex.
