The Sacral Chakra is associated with the color orange. It develops between ages 8-14, and is related to our relationship with our sexuality.
The Sanskrit name for the Sacral Chakra means "sweetness." It is, appropriately, associated with many of the sweeter parts of life- pleasure, sexuality, creativity, and change.
Svadhisthana is located in the lower abdomen, below the navel. It is associated with the male and female reproductive organs, and is deeply connected to our ability to find pleasure in life's activities.
Someone who has an imbalance in their Sacral Chakra might act in a sexually manipulative manner, or have a generally unhealthy relationship with their sexuality. They might also be overly sensitive, or overly hard on themselves. The physical impact of an imbalanced Sacral Chakra can be manifested in lower back pain, or bladder and prostate problems.
A yoga pose to help balance the Sacral Chakra is Supta Baddha Konasana; Reclining Bound Angle. Lie supine (on your back) and bend your knees, bringing the soles of your feet together and letting your knees fall open to the sides. Let yourself feel the openness of your body, and allow your hips and belly to soften and relax.
Sacral Chakra affirmations: I am worthy of love and sexual fulfillment. I am comfortable with who I am. I honor my body, and I honor my sexuality.
YOU are perfect as you are; YOU are creative, and worthy of love and appreciation.
Namaste,
Rebecca
