Sacral Chakra

The second main chakra: Love and honour your life and body

Our Sacral chakra is located in our navel area and its characteristics are an orange energy, creative, nurturing, sexuality, abundance and an overall wellbeing. This chakra rules our reproductive organs and adrenal glands. It is also associated with our sense of taste and is of the element, water. The key issues that affect our sacral chakra are:

relationships
moods
addictions
enjoyment and pleasure

Creativity and enthusiasm for life happens with a balanced sacral chakra. We feel joy in our relationships with family and friends, and are able to enjoy pleasure with our intimate partner.

When this chakra is balanced - meaning the vital life force energy (prana) can move through our Sacral chakra - we are able to relate to others in healthy relationships that are continually nurtured. We are enabled to have healthy sexual relationships guilt free and are respectful to ourselves. We know who we are, we are worthy and we have enough food, rest and money. We do not relate our self worth to how much material things we have or our social status. We love and respect ourselves by creating healthy boundaries.

When this chakra is unbalanced, we see it in ways such as:

sexual addictions, over-indulgence
mood swings, i.e., hysteria, frustration, depression
seductive manipulations and guilt, shame, martyr complex
fear of intimacy and co-dependence issues

Nourishing ourselves creatively, artistically and with healthy foods that are orange in colour:

mangoes
oranges
papaya
passion fruit
turmeric and ginger
plenty of hydration by drinking water and clear herbal teas

Also, working with the colour orange will help stimulate the prana to flow through through our sacral chakra. We need to let go of shame and make a space for enjoyment and new, positive energy.

Am I comfortable with who I am and do I need more money/status to be happy?

Knight of wands

7 of Coins

King of Wands

The Knight stops for a moment. Maybe he is examining a situation that looks desirable? Maybe he is changing directions because he has a sudden impulse? Is he self aware enough to make sure that these sudden moves aren't stepping over someone or is he hiding something? What is the motivation? Is this you? Or perhaps someone in your life? Make sure you know your direction. You probably have enough talent and money to pursue your goals, but make sure that you are aware of how others feel about your ambition because you may need support. Stepping over the wrong people puts you at risk. Yes, show your talent and drive but be respectful. You will go so far with talent, but if you show responsibility and wisdom along with your talent, you will go farther.
