Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Can anyone tell me whether this definition/interpretation of the second chakra is in keeping with traditional teachings? If it differs, how so, and if it has some elements that are the same and others different, how so? This came from www.onewholelove.com, which I found when I searched the web for "svadhisthana." I am interested in the relation between creativity and sexuality, I invite others to share their ideas on this topic. "The Svadhisthana Chakra The second chakra is called Svadhisthana. Sva means "that which is its self; which belongs to itself" and Dhisthana means "its actual place." The importance of this definition for our work is the recognition that it is primarily through the second chakra that a person experiences the deep feelings associated with their physical manifestation. The chakra is situated just above the genitals. It regulates sexual energy, which is far more than mere physical sexuality or eroticism. It is the seat of creativity through which a person experiences the childlike wonder and excitement of the manifest universe. It is from the second chakra that a person experiences the world as a magical place. ...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hi Mary Ann: A while back, I put a presentation on the homepage, offering the traditional and modern Shakta interpretations of the chakras. Here is Svadhisthana. The location is the same, the interpretation somewhat different than in the passage you quote: http://shaktisadhana.50megs.com/Photo% 20Gallery/cakra/svadhisthane.html Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Many a times you might have felt a tingle in your spine on a great discovery !! the "ah ha" feeling .. this I presume originates from the svadishtana ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
