---

Color- Orange

Element- Water

Sound- Vam

General Info- The Sacral Chakra is the second energy center in the body. It is the energy center for the vital force or prana ‘vyana', which is the energy of circulation. This energy assists in letting go, accepting change, and transformation in life.  It is also a direct line to our creativity, intuition, and sexual pleasure.  

Location- The second chakra is located four fingers below the navel, in the lower abdomen.

Balanced- we can expect our relationship with ourselves and the world to feel harmonious, pleasureful, and nurturing. This chakra is centered on personal identity and how it responds to the seductive forces of the physical world. A person with an open and balanced Sacral Chakra has the ability to enjoy the senses with discipline and keep their emotions and relationships in balance. 

Unbalanced- can make you feel emotionally unstable. You will either be too sensitive, or you will not be in touch with your emotions at all. You may be lacking creativity and discipline, as well as having an addiction to sensory pleasure. 

Depression, anxiety, and the fear of losing control in a relationship are all signs that this energy center is blocked. It also affects our connection to various physical aspects of life like work.

• Chronic lower back pain 
• Arthritis 
• Genital or sexual problems 
• Hip issues 
• Anemia 
• Joint problems

• Spleen and kidney issues
