2nd Chakra
The Sacral Chakra is also the Svadhisthana which is Sanskrit for “vital force” or “dwelling place of the self”. It is the center for all of our emotions. Therefore, it affects our ability to be in healthy relationships and it is the absolute hub of our creativity. What’s more, it drives us to see beyond the ordinary and opens our minds to hold our dreams in reverence and to never give up.
As a believer in the power of holistic healing, I have always been fascinated by the chakras. These energy centers within our bodies can unlock our inner potential and help us achieve balance in our lives. Today, we explore the second chakra, also known as the sacral chakra.
2nd Chakra Human Qualities
The human qualities of the second chakra include passion, creativity, pleasure, and emotional balance.
When our sacral chakra is in balance, we are able to express ourselves freely and enjoy life to its fullest. We feel confident in our abilities and are not afraid to take risks.
However, when this chakra is blocked or imbalanced, we may experience feelings of guilt, shame, or inadequacy.
2nd Chakra Symbols
The symbol of the sacral chakra is orange with six petals surrounding the center. The circles in connection with the lotus flower petals represent the cycles of birth, death, and rebirth. The tangential circles also create a crescent moon shape, which reminds us of the connection between creativity and the phases of the moon. The sacral chakra is associated with the element of water and governed by Hindu goddess Parvati.
