What Is the Sacral Chakra
The Sacral Chakra, or the sex chakra, is the 2nd chakra in the 7 chakras system. It is located below the navel, at the center of your lower belly. The color is orange, the element is water, the meaning is "I feel," and it is known as the center of sexual energy, pleasure, creativity, intimacy, and connection. The sacral chakra is associated with water, which is the element. Water is flowing, purifying, and adaptive to changing environments. The sacral chakra can act in the same way, allowing you to let go, move, feel the change, and control the flow of information from the body to the mind and from the mind to the body. Physically, the 2nd chakra is associated with the kidneys and reproductive organs: ovaries, testes, and uterus.
The ovaries are responsible for sexual development and producing eggs, as well as controlling the levels of progesterone and estrogen. Also called Swadhisthana in Sanskrit, the sacral chakra is closely associated with your emotional responses and is usually described as the seat of emotions. Not only that, but you can connect it with your sense of taste as well as your reproductive functioning. The sacral chakra is also represented by colors of light blue and white on some occasions. The color orange is translucent with a quality of transparency. It triggers something in you at a subconscious level, and you can use it to bold creativity. The symbol of this chakra features a circle with 6 petals and a crescent moon. This circle represents the water element, and the silver-colored crescent moon represents the link between the energy of the water and the moon. Such symbols point to the strong relationship between moon phases and the fluctuations with the water and with the emotions. Not only that, but the moon symbol also resonates with the feminine menstrual cycle, which has an equal number of days to complete, as well as the second chakra’s connection with the sexual organs and reproduction. The sacral chakra is located about 3 inches below your navel and at the center of your lower belly. Multidimensionally, you can find the sacral chakra at your lumbar vertebrae level. The sacral chakra expands to the genital area, particularly at the level of the testicles for men and ovaries for women. The sacral chakra is also where the seeds of inventions and original ideas are planted and nurtured. Your dreams and ideas would not be realized without the help of the chakra system's petri dish (AKA sacral chakra). It is here where the soil is the richest to sow, grow, and harvest your creative self. The body parts are the sexual organs, stomach, upper intestines, liver, gallbladder, kidney, pancreas, adrenal glands, spleen, middle spine, ovaries, womb, skin, tract, and spleen. Much like how the Scorpio sun sign is the personality with the most enhanced sexual prowess of the twelve zodiac signs, the second chakra is considered the house of sex. It is here where our most base desires or natural sexual urges spring forth from. Whereas the heart chakra or love center of our bodies is needed to function in concert with the sacral chakra to keep our emotions in check. No single chakra works on its own; the chakra system is a partnership. Second-chakra personality disorders can take a high toll. These people live in a world where the rain falls because the sky personally wants to get them wet. At times, they believe the entire world is conspiring against them. Granted, sometimes it does rain for us, but it also rains for the trees, plants, animals, and stones, as well as for its own sake. This person often has an attitude of entitlement. As he heals his second chakra, he discovers that the world owes him nothing. On the contrary, he has a debt to life.
The sacral chakra stones can bring a boost of energy to one’s body in order to promote confidence, action, and courage. With these stones, you will also feel confident and energetic in all aspects of your life. Actually, you will feel that everything is possible. Most importantly, you will be able to accomplish everything that you do. The stones will cleanse and at the same time activate your sacral chakra while bringing forth your inner spirit and voice. They will also help you in dealing with your emotional problems.

The seed mantra of the sacral chakra is “VAM.” The sound, when chanted, echoes and reaches directly to the center of the sacral chakra and activates it right away. You can simply sit in a quiet place, visualize the color orange in the region of the sacral chakra, and chant “VAM MMMM” a few times.
A blocked sacral chakra can make you feel like you’ve lost control of your life and are unable to retake hold of the reins. Sacral chakra energy is directly related to, and is nurtured by, that of the root chakra. Considered feminine in quality, sacral chakra energy — located in the lower abdomen — is what gives you the ability to be open with and nurture yourself and others. As it governs your ability to relate to other people and the world around you, the sacral chakra also helps keep your emotions and ability to cope with life on an even keel. When sacral energy flow is blocked, you can become unemotional and experience uncertainty, insecurity, and an inability to cope with life’s changes.
Feeling detached and rigid in your routine to the point where you’re unable to ride out life’s ups and downs is a sure sign the sacral chakra is blocked and in need of clearing and healing. A lack of self-esteem or self-worth stemming from a sacral chakra imbalance can also contribute to finding oneself in unhealthy, and sometimes abusive, relationships. Considering the sacral chakra directly influences sexuality, it is not unheard of for a decline in sexual interest and performance to become an issue. Sexual dysfunction, including premature ejaculation, an inability to achieve orgasm, and low or nonexistent libido, is a good indicator that there is an imbalance of the sacral chakra. Reproductive glands are associated with the uterus, bladder, circulatory system, and prostate. An overactive second chakra can manifest as emotional instability, sexual addiction, over-fantasizing, and manipulation. A blocked or sluggish sacral chakra can manifest as frigidity, impotence, oversensitivity, lower back pain, urinary problems, gynecological problems, and self-degradation. The reproductive glands are associated with our physical maturation, the relationship we have with our body, and our spiritual awareness. As we mature, our attitude about growing up and taking responsibility for our sexuality, as well as having a family, is connected to the reproductive glands. This chakra is concerned with pleasure and well-being, and if these emotions are not felt, frustration will build. With all the constraints and societal/religious messages related to sexuality and its expression, one can struggle with deprivation and eventual dis-ease. If we don't feel deserving of a good and abundant life and having enough of what we need, including pleasure, we will be miserable and experience depleted life force energy.
