2nd Chakra - Sacral Chakra

Moving on to the 2nd chakra. The sacral chakra.

Located between the navel and the genitals. Sometimes it is referred to as the navel centre. The sacral chakra is connected to the water element. The associated glands are the ovaries and testicles, and the related body parts are the womb and the genitals (our reproductive organs), kidneys, bladder, circulatory system and the lower back. The associated colour is Orange.

The sacral chakra is our emotional store bank, and it is the centre of our sexuality.

Physical problems that may arise from an unbalanced sacral chakra are lower back problems, hip or pelvis ailments, kidney & bladder problems, problems with our sexuality and or, actual physical disfunction (sexually), menstruation problems and reproduction difficulties. Emotional problems may show up as an inability to express your emotions, or that your emotions are heightened.

There are several physical ways of working with an unbalanced sacral chakra. The ones I particularly enjoy doing are those that involve getting creative. Creativity is a source of life force. I enjoy working with mandalas, creating them from natural sources, especially my crystals. I also enjoy colouring, making things, and especially listening and dancing to music. Singing is said to be very beneficial too, although I’m not very good at it!

Crystals that work well with the sacral chakra are those of the same associated colour or on that same spectrum. My favourites are Carnelian (my little Duracell battery) Tigers Eye, Golden Topaz, Honey Calcite and although not orange in colour, Moonstone. Moonstone works exceptionally well on the sacral chakra because it resonates with the womb space and the moon. The moon governs our emotions and is a water element, all of these are connected to the Sacral chakra.
