HW: CHakra Series – Sacral Chakra
The second Chakra is the Sacral Chakra – Svadhisthana (sweetness) – and is located in the lower abdomen and sacral plexus. It is associated with the color orange and the element of water. This Chakra begins developing around 6 months old and carries on to 2 years old. Though the Chakras begin developing early in life, we do go through cycles where they continue to develop again in our adult life as we continue to grow and develop as humans. This Chakra is well known for being associated with pleasure, sexuality, sensation and movement. Many people struggle with guilt and shame around these aspects of being human. For many years, and still today, there is strong cultural judgment about enjoying pleasure and sexuality – this is true especially for women. I know that this is true in my own experience of growing up in a conservative home. Part of the work in healing or creating a healthy Sacral Chakra is to accept that we as humans are created to experience pleasure, to experience our bodies, and to know that our sexuality is part of how we function as humans. The work to help clear out the shame and guilt is very important – it can help lead to a more enjoyable life. A life with no pleasure is dull. Of course – as with all things, the aim here is to be in balance – to find peace with pleasure, sexuality, desire, needs in balance with boundaries, healthy relationships and healthy pleasures.
