What does it Represent?
This chakra primarily represents –
·
Our emotions and our experience
with intimate relationships with others and our selves.
·
It is about knowing that who
you are and what you do is enough.
·
It is also about creating
healthy boundaries to protect yourself and your life force.
·
It represents our sexuality, our
creativity and our ambition.
·
This is where our passion and
joy arise and where self-love comes from.
·
It is the energy centre that we
can express ourselves and where we can ‘let go’.
·
It is where we experience
pleasure from all our experiences in the physical world.
A Balanced Sacral Chakra
When balanced, the sacral chakra allows
you to trust the flow of life. Giving and receiving comes to you with ease. You
attend life with enthusiasm happiness and joy. Your life is passionate,
emotionally sound and sexually fulfilled. We can also know it is balanced when
we are in touch with our feelings and when we can identify the feelings of
others.
A Blocked Sacral Chakra
When there is a block or a weakness in this
chakra you may experience:
·
Problems in your intimate
relationships, such as seeing them as being a threat, painful or a struggle.
·
You struggle with giving and
receiving
·
You may also have problems with
connecting too and sharing your body sexually with someone else.
·
Expressing yourself creatively
might also be an issue for you.
·
Blockages in this area may lead
to self destructive and abusive behaviors for your body.
·
You may become withdrawn,
obsessive, over dependant or over sensitive. You may also be disengaged from
your feelings and emotions.
·
Or quite simply have a block in
your creative flow of ideas.
A chakra that is over excessive will
exhibit the extreme opposite of the points above.
Physical Manifestations of a Blocked Sacral Chakra
When the energy is blocked for a while in
this chakra, it can lead to the following physical aliments: Bladder problems,
PMS, fibroids, ovarian cysts, irritable bowel syndrome, testicular disease and
prostrate issues, infertility struggles, sciatica pain, chronic fatigue, and
lower back pain.
Water and the Sacral Chakra
The sacral chakra is associated with the
element of water. When we think of water, we see it moving with the flow,
around obstacles, to and fro on the shoreline. It is free flowing and flexible
and it adapts to its environment. Our emotions and feelings are the water
moving and changing with the landscape in which we see ourselves. We often
cannot control the environment but we can choose to flow and ride the waves or
we can choose to swim against the tide. So a healthy sacral chakra will allow
us to go with the flow and accept the changes in our life.
Taste and the Sacral Chakra
Taste is the sense that is linked to this
chakra. We can understand the link
to this chakra when we see the correlation to the words we use to describe the
experiences, and the feelings and emotions they evoke. For example, “That lady
was very bitter”, “his nature is
so sweet”, or “that relationship went sour”. Can you see how we use taste to
describe how we feel? Taste is also designed to help us experience pleasure. We
smell, feel, see and delight in the taste of a good meal. Our senses are
stimulated and the pleasure we feel is ignited. Pleasure is key to the health
of the sacral chakra.
The Gonad Glands
The Sacral Chakra is connected to the Gonad
gland. These glands represent creation and creativity, also accepting and
embracing the flow and changes in your life. They are the main source for
excretion of the sex hormone, Oestrogen in females and Testosterone in males.
The potential for the development of a new life (creation) is reflected in the
drive of the sacral chakra.
Clearing the sacral chakra
Orange – Is the colour that vibrates in harmony with this chakra, so wear
orange, eat orange foods, cut up an orange and smell it feel it and taste it.
Burn sweet orange oil.
Water – Water is the key element that is tied to the sacral chakra. Use
water to balance it by, swimming, visiting a lake, stream, river, oceans and
watch the water, see how it moves and flows. Fill a bottle with water, close
your eyes whilst holding it, and repeat affirmations that will assist you. For
example – I am Whole, I am a creative being, I am creating beautiful
experiences into my life, I am enough, I am open to the truth, I am comfortable
in receiving love. You can now drink the transformed positive affirmation water
to revitalize your body.
Dancing/movement – Moving the area of your body around this chakra. Belly dancing is
known to be good for this, but if you are not into belly dancing than try hoola
hooping with or without a hoop. It’s a great exercise when you are standing in
the kitchen washing up the dishes.
Let
Go – Practice letting go of the emotions and
feelings that are not serving you. Emotions are very powerful. Recognise them,
acknowledge them, and then let go of the ones that bring you pain, heartache,
unhappiness and self-pity.
Crystals
Citrine, Carnelian,
Golden Topaz, Moonstone, orange calcite and sunstone.
To use these crystals
you can either place them on your sacral chakra or sit with them whilst they
heal. You may also want to make a gem elixir to drink and whilst adding the
element of water I feel that a bath with these crystals will also be beneficial.
You may want to place these crystals in your home or work place wherever it is
where you do your creative work.
Mantra
Affirmation
“I flow, I relate, I co-create”.
Recite this six times to yourself whilst
focusing your attention on the sacral chakra.
SoulChakra You can see problems and the thoughts of other people too easy, also the emotions which we don’t want.
