Sacral Chakra

[Guest guest]

Greetings:

 

This post is the second in the discussion regarding the energy centers

or chakras.

 

The Sacral Chakra

back

yeast and pelvic infections, sexually transmitted diseases (venereal),

inability to commit to relationships, feelings of victimization,

mistrust, or helplessness.

 

When we are well balanced and our sacral chakra is functioning

properly, we feel our emotions and can relate to them, especially

feelings of pleasure and desire. We are in touch with our creativity,

comfortable with our sexuality, and open to healthy relationships with

others. An obvious healthy expression of the sacral energy is

procreation, but other forms of creativity, such as artistic

expression, cooking, or building are also positive. Some

manifestations of a blocked or malfunctioning sacral center may be

impotence and frigidity or conversely compulsive promiscuity, uterine

or bladder problems, sacral or sciatic pain. We may feel creatively

" blocked " , frustrated with our relationships, and lacking normal joy

in simple pleasures. Life may feel colorless and bland, filled with

aimless anger and anxiety. Women may develop endometriosis and PMS,

men may develop prostatitis or torqued vas deferens. Either may

develop genitourinary cancers or colon disorders. We may resort to

substances such as alcohol or drugs because we mistakenly believe they

enhance our creativity and increase our ability to feel good (because

of inhibition supression). In fact, ultimately, the addiction to the

substances or behaviors does just the opposite.

 

In order to keep the sacral chakra healthy, it is important to focus

on balance between light and shadow, embracing both with acceptance.

Exploring our sacred sexuality, finding our deep and enduring

pleasures, and learning how to express ourselves creatively will all

enhance the flavor of our lives, the joie de vivre. We should remember

to flow, like the element of water.

 

The traditional Indian correspondance animals for the sacral chakra

are makara, fish, and sea creatures.
