Sacral Chakra 101

 


Now that we’ve established that we are safe and secure (see root chakra here) we can move on to considering how we actually feel.  Apparently we always want what we can’t have, just as soon as we are holding on and grounded we want to change and flow.  We naturally move towards pleasure, and thus away from pain, and this is what the sacral chakra is all about.  It is the center for all things feel good and sweet in life!

 

Location: In the lower abdomen, near the reproductive organs

Color: Orange

Physical: consider the location, but also remember this is the water chakra, so anything fluid: the reproductive organs, bladder & kidneys, and circulatory system, but also sacral plexus

Balanced:  in tune with your own feelings, creative, trusting

Unbalanced: emotionally unstable, manipulative, oversensitive, hard on yourself, guilt, addictive personality

Yoga: This is my most favorite way to work on this chakra.  This chakra is all about the flow, just like yoga.  The word emotion literally has the word motion in it.  For me it’s all about using the movement to filter the emotions through your body.  I love to use the poses to work through the feelings and toward the happy.  And just a reminder, this is not only reserved for negative emotions either.  Yoga is a fabulous way to embrace the good too.  Check this post  but here are some good ideas to work on this chakra specifically…. pigeon, happy baby, frog, triangle, dancer

Oil: it should make you feel creative….orange, tangerine, grapefruit, or citrus bliss blend are great choices

Stones: carnelian or topaz

Nutrition: all things orange, especially oranges (duh!), melons, papayas, mangos and pumpkin, but also hydrating fully with fresh clean water.

Affirmations: My life is flowing as it should, I am worthy of love and pleasure, I have a right to express myself creatively, I’m embracing change and moving towards happiness and
