SACRAL

S V A D H I S H T H A N A

‘Where your being is established.’

The second chakra is symbolised by the lotus flower with six petals and the colour orange. The ket components are passion, pleasure and enjoyment. It is the centre of feelings and emotions. Physically this chakra governs reproduction, mentally it governs creativity, emotionally is governs joy and spiritually it governs enthusuasim.

This chakra is instrumental in developing flexibility in life as it regulates the flow of emotions and thoughts. A healthy, unblocked sacral is essential for personal expansion, healthy relationships and interactions with people and the world. In its unbalanced state, emotions take over to the point of becoming obsessions. Depression can set it.
