Our second chakra is the sacral and can be found low in the abdomen. We previously talked about the masculine base chakra being our foundation, but this chakra is feminine. It is also more moody and deals with emotions, moods and reactive. This chakra also deals with instincts but on a different level. Here we look at the emotional side of needs such as sex and relationships. Because of its relationship to the womb and genitalia, it shouldn’t be a surprise that it is closely related to the moon. When someone has a strong sacral chakra they are usually independent and in good healthy relationships. They can usually pick out people who they should stay away from and avoid situations where their “gut” instinct tells them too. They can carry on good relationships with those around them. They give, but not too much. They take, but only what is given. They understand boundaries and they stay within those and require that the people in relationships with them do the same thing. This person will have a good family live. Even if they had a rough upbringing, they are able to move on and provide a better relationship with their family then they had growing up. When a person’s sacral chakra is out of balance you will see them in healthy relationships. These will be the people that are allowing themselves to be used and abused by those around them. Or, these can also be the abusers themselves. They are the people who are always drawn to the wrong person for them and they know that the relationship is toxic but they still get involved. This person usually holds on to a lot of resentment and anger for past relationships. They find it difficult to move on and they allow that to influence current relationships. These are people who often abuse substances, or over indulge in different ways (such as money, sex, food, anger, etc.) in order to compensate for their lack of emotional stability. If you need to strengthen this chakra be sure to put yourself first. You cannot give what you do not have. Eat healthy and nourish your body. Food is related to your gut and so too to this chakra. Other things to consider are doing things that you enjoy. Creation comes from the womb, try being creative in whatever way you know how. This could be painting, drawing, singing or even better dancing. Movement in the hips and areas associated with the chakra are great ways to help align it. If you enjoy exercising, you could try positions that use the body’s core or abdomen. Also, always remember that the chakras are connected. While one chakra can feel mostly in balance and another is completely out of a whack, it is always best to try to work on the one you are having issues with. Even if it doesn’t seem like it, your aligned chakras can, and will, see improvement if you align a chakra that is in trouble. Chakra work can be a continuous process so don’t get discouraged if you feel like your work with your chakras are an ongoing battle. Photo Credit: https://goo.gl/images/xK5kyd
