Greetings:

 

This post is the second in the discussion regarding the energy

centers

or chakras.

 

The Sacral Chakra

back

Opposites

infections,

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.
