The sacral chakra, also known as the Swadhisthana, is the second of the body’s seven main chakras. It resides about 2 inches below the belly button and plays a crucial role in creativity, emotional balance, and sexual energy. When the sacral chakra is out of balance, it can lead to feelings of fear, overwhelm, depression, emotional instability, loss of creativity, and addictive behaviors. It is associated with the color orange and the element water.
Here are practical ways to balance your sacral chakra:
✨Meditate with crystals on your sacral chakra. Crystals I recommend are carnelian, orange calcite, sunstone, or tangerine quartz, peach moonstone, or Mookaite jasper.
✨Wear orange, have orange around your home or workspace.
✨Nourish Your Body with Orange Foods
✨Hip-Opening Stretches, Yoga, and Movement:
Stagnant energy can block a chakra. To address this, engage in hip-opening stretches, yoga, or free-flowing dance. Dancing with your hips is great for activating your sacral chakra!
✨Aromatherapy: Orange, neroli, clary sage, or sandalwood
✨Chakra-Balancing Meditation:
Practice a meditation specifically focused on balancing the sacral chakra.
Get comfortable, ground yourself, and visualize your sacral energy center as an orange spinning ball (clockwise). Saw affirmations to yourself regarding creativity, emotional balance, sensuality, or confidence.
✨Use positive affirmations related to the sacral chakra:
“I feel complete peace within myself.”
“My emotions are balanced.”
“I am in touch with my sexuality and express it in healthy ways.”
“I let my emotions roll off of me like water and go with the flow of life.”
Remember that consistency and patience are key. By incorporating these practices, you can restore balance, vitality, and creative flow to your sacral chakra. Having reiki done can speed up the process and help remove any blockages you may have as well.
