In the Sacral Chakra we move from the solid earth element of the Root Chakra into the fluid water element. It is associated with the bodily functions that have to do with liquid. It is your energetic home, your center. This is the seat of your emotions, your creativity, your sexual energy, your power of choice, the power of control, and your self-worth. You begin to experience pleasure and beauty.
The Sacral Chakra energy inspires you to reach our beyond your tribe, and form relationships that fulfill your personal emotional and physical needs. You move beyond the family tribal authority and explore a world where you can make your own choices based on your own desires.
The energy of this chakra gets you in touch with your inner inspiration so you can creatively express yourself. You create and birth everything from babies to business to works of art. Creative energy is powerful. It is important to be conscious of what you are creating. Whatever your mind focuses on, you bring into your life. If you are angry, and focus on that feeling, you will create and draw more anger to you. If you use the anger you feel to look deeper into yourself, you can consciously turn anger into forgiveness. Anger is really a form of fear, and fear that is allowed to linger in your chakra can manifest in a wide array of physical and psychological disorders. These disorders can include prostate or ovarian cancer, chronic lower back and hip pain, arthritis, hot flashes and depression during menopause, impotence, frigidity, and uterine, bladder, or kidney problems. Depression is a common symptom of blockage in the Sacral Chakra. Fear is a powerful emotion. If it is left to fester, it can make us vulnerable to the seduction of money, sex, power, and even violence. Learning the benefits of forgiveness is one of the greatest life lessons there is.
The Sacral Chakra is sometimes called the sexual chakra. It influences the female reproductive organs and glands, as well as the male testicles. This is where your physical body, your emotions, your desire for procreation and pleasure, all come together - along with the exploration of new intimate relationships that fulfill your needs and desires. Your attitude towards your sexually and sex are imprinted in your energy by your original family tribe. As time goes on, these attitudes are influenced by factors like sexual experiences, television, advertising, and religion. This can result in repression or exploitation of your sexuality. An intimate relationship based on control, revenge, or personal gain can create issues, as well. A healthy Sacral Chakra will produce a healthy attitude toward sex, intimacy, and your own sexuality.
Your beliefs about money reside in the Sacral Chakra. Some people embrace abundance and use their creativity to bring more money into their lives. They always seem to have the money they need and desire. If they don't already have it, they know it will come to them. Other people embrace scarcity and lack. They never have enough money, and live in constant fear because of it. Your beliefs can create your future. If you believe you will always have what you need - and more, then that is what you will create. This doesn't mean you won't have to work for it, it simply means that people and events will come into your life that will open the doors to abundance.
Living your life and expressing yourself creatively are important to the Sacral Chakra. Knowing who you are, that you have a right to be here, that you have a right to honest emotions, a right to healthy relationships, and a right to make choices for yourself, all these things free you up to dance, sing, write an incredible poem or story, play an instrument, paint a beautiful picture, or use any means you choose to create and express the inspired Sacral Chakra energy. This is how you connect with the creative energy of the planet and spirit.
The Sacral Chakra is about freedom. It is about exploring who you are beyond tribal belief systems. It requires giving yourself permission to look beyond what your parents believe, and still maintain your relationship with them. It involves taking risks, knowing there is more to your life than inherited beliefs and traditions. This is not to say that your parents are wrong in their beliefs. It's about you knowing what you believe, and why. It's about forming relationships with people who have different ideas, and deciding what resonates with you.
