Located above the root chakra, is the sacral plexus chakra, the second chakra. The Sacral Chakra is your passion and pleasure center and it is located in the pelvic area. This is the center of feeling, emotion, pleasure, sensuality, intimacy, and connection. The energy of this chakra allows you to let go, to move, and to feel change and transformation occurring within your body. It allows you to experience this moment as it is. The sacral chakra is also your center of creativity. Passion is the fuel of creative energy. Everything you create, a poem, a drawing, or a website, originates from the energy of second chakra.

We fee stifled in our creativity and resentful for not being able to birth our ideas into the world. We may have relationship issues, reproductive issues, or feel unstable or unhealthy around aspects of our sexuality. Feelings of shame or guilt, issues around money and abundance.Â
