Solar Plexus Chakra
A couple of weeks ago, I discussed the first of our seven chakras: the root chakra. Now, I would like to introduce you to the magic of the Sacral Chakra-our second chakra in our soul energy system. This energy center is connected to the relationship with ourselves and our creativity.
This chakra is all about flow, freedom, the sensuality of being your true self, and playfulness. It invites us to consider our boundaries and how we coexist with the universe and others around us. In balanced partnerships (including the relationships with ourselves) we can truly thrive.
The Sacral Chakra rests in our inner pelvis and lower belly behind the belly button. When our Sacral Chakra is completely aligned we feel radiant and free to be ourselves. We feel openly creative and seen in the world. We feel unmitigated joy.
When our Sacral Chakra gets blocked we may feel as if we are on an emotional rollercoaster. We grapple with many highs and lows. The blocked Sacral Chakra can lead to addictive behaviors, difficulties with sexual relationships, and issues with fertility. To unblock your Sacral Chakra, work with the color orange. Take a nice long plunge in water, because this chakra is aligned with the element of water. If you practice yoga, Warrior II and Pigeon are very effective in helping clear these blockages.
When was the last time you felt free to create? What did you create? What emotions were evoked during your project? Was it playful, meditative?
