Sacral Chakra - Re-balance

Hello my beauties, above are some of my favorite crystals to use when doing a chakra cleanse of your second chakra, the sacral chakra. Carnelian, orange calcite & aragonite (whilst aragonite is used for the root chakra, It can be used it to clear blockages.

Place yourself in a comfortable position, seated or laying down & surround yourself with some of your orange crystals, also, place the orange crystal you feel most attracted to on your sacral chakra or hold it in your hand over your sacral chakra. Or if you don’t yet have orange crystals in your collection, look at the image here, focus on it in your minds eye & breathe.

Opening Svadhisthana, the Sacral chakra:

After you’ve opened your Root chakra, you are ready to open your Sacral chakra, the root of your sexuality and creativity. A balanced Sacral chakra leads to feelings of abundance, pleasure, wellness, and joy, but when this chakra is out of balance, a person may experience emotional instability, fear of change, sexual dysfunction, depression, or addictions. 

Like all the chakras, the Svadhisthana is a vibrating field of light that is imperceptible to the naked human eye. A powerful way to begin to connect to your Svadhisthana is through deep communion with your body. Your physical body is your first temple, the foundation for mental and physical health. The best way to do this is through touch. Lack of physical touch in your life will affect your emotional body as well, so practices such as yoga, sex, massages and daily self care will allow you to become more in touch with your physical body.

Some simple exercises for opening and aligning your Sacral chakra are:

Seated pelvic circles: sitting in a cross-legged or half-lotus pose with your hands on your knees, make circles with your torso. Go around in one direction 5 or 6 times and then switch directions. 

Bhujangasana (cobra pose): lie on your stomach with your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands under your shoulders and slowly lift your head, chest, and abdomen while keeping your naval on the floor. Be sure to press down through the pubic bone toward the mat.

Baddha konasana (butterfly pose) with forward fold: in a seated position, bring the bottoms of your feet together. Let your knees drop to the sides and bring your heels in close to your pelvis. Lengthen the torso and fold forward.

Svadhisthana-focused meditation: put your hands in your lap, palms up, on top of each other. Left hand underneath, its palm touching the back of the fingers of the right hand. The tips of the thumbs touch gently. This is the Svadhisthana mudra. Concentrate on the Sacral chakra at the sacral bone (on the lower back), opposite of below you navel and above your pelvic bone. Chant the sound VAM (pronounced “vahmng”).

For more Svadhisthana-opening poses, practice Sacral chakra yoga.

For aid in Svadisthana meditation, listen to Sacral chakra awakening music.
