The Sacral Chakra (Svadhishthan Chakra) second chakra, is the center of emotions and feelings and promotes emotional well-being. It also governs our emotions (joy), passion, desires, creativity, growth, relationships and sexuality. It is, sometimes, also called the seat of the soul.
Let’s understand the basic aspects of the Sacral chakra to enhance and strengthen our overall well-being.
Situated about two inches below the navel, the Beej Mantra for the Sacral chakra is ‘VAM’ & the associated Orange colour symbolizes creativity, joy, emotional balance & courage.
The Water element symbolizes transformation, emotional stability, adaptability & fluidity. The associated sound frequency, 417 Hz, is used in sound healing to increase self-love & heal relationships. Positive affirmations like “I invite joy into my life” and “I feel worthy of love and respect” focus on our emotions and nurture self-love.
