Balancing Your 2nd Chakra

The Navel Chakra is located just below the navel, about 2-3 fingers. It is also known as the Sacral, or Second Chakra. In Martial Arts, it is called the “Hara”. It represents your sexuality, creativity, self esteem, pleasures and frustrations.
Its Chakra color is orange. The Second Chakra governs life lessons involving blaming and guilt, manifesting, money and prosperity, sex, power, control, and it is the base of your creativity and sense of morality. Information stored in the Second Chakra involves feelings of duality, personal magnetism, your patterns of control, your sociability, and emotions and feelings. An imbalance in the Second Chakra may be experienced as an eating disorder, drug or alcohol addiction, depression, and intimacy issues, and may contribute to issues of impotence and frigidity...

The element associated with this chakra is water. Water’s power is fluid, yet unyielding - the power to overcome obstacles and act with integrity. This is your Seat of Ch’i, Dantiem, your personal will power to be and confidence to stand on your own two feet. The Sanskrit word Svadisthana (2nd chakra) can be translated as “Primordial Abode.”

Your 2nd chakra is your center of co-creation and beauty, relationships, children, sensuality, sexuality, purification and robust health.
