The Second Chakra: Sensual

The Second Chakra: Sensual

Svadhisthana (sweetness), or Sacral Chakra, is located at the lower abdomen between the belly button and pubic bone. It is symbolized by the color orange and a lotus with six petals, and its issues are creativity, pleasure/pain, relationships, and emotions. A positive balance in the Svadhisthana Chakra would be represented by stability in one's sexuality, sensuality, and emotions. It is related to the reproductive system.

Affirmation:
May I be at home and at ease in my body, and find balance in my relationships between myself (or my self) and others.
