Sacral Chakra Healing

What is Sacral Chakra Healing?

Location of the Sacral Chakra

The Sacral Chakra – also called the Sacral Hara Chakra, Second chakra, and Swadhisthana – is located right below the belly button. The uterus, ovaries, prostate, bladder, large intestine, appendix, lower abdomen, pelvis, lower vertebrae, and hips, are related to the sacral chakra. It is the energy center for personal power, creativity, finances, vitality, sexuality and reproduction. The sacral chakra is associated with the water element, taste sense, and orange color.

The orange color of Swadhisthana, is a combination of red (the color of personality) and yellow (the color of wisdom). Sacral chakra healing is about integrating and balancing these energies in the sacral hara chakra, to overcome anger /guilt / shame /fear and develop self control, passion and compassion. Second chakra issues of physical surviving, intimate relationships, self control, decision making, skills, creativity, and addiction, can be resolved with sacral chakra healing.

Second chakra healing will open and balance your Swadhisthana. You will open up to creativity, become more spontaneous, and have a passion for life. You will have no problems in making decisions, and your skills will improve. Healing the sacral chakra will positively affect your emotions.

Just like the first chakra, the second chakra Swadhisthana deals with sex and money, but in a different way. When it comes to sex, the sacral hara chakra deals with the feminine energy of sexuality, and is more about love, having kids, sensuality, and how we feel about sex – whereas the first chakra deals with the masculine energy of sex, and is more about having sex only for the physical pleasure. When it comes to money, the sacral hara chakra rules the security that it brings – whereas the first chakra rules the power that money holds. The sacral hara chakra is all about love and about the security that money can bring. Often, one of these two aspects – love and money – will have a priority over the other, and that’s when sacral chakra healing can help. When your sacral hara chakra Swadhisthana is balanced, you will manage your love life, without sacrificing your finances, and vice versa.
