Welcome to Reiki Chronicles: Journey into the Sacred Sacral Chakra
Greetings friends, today let us embark on a journey into the mystical realm of 2nd chakra that is tied to the realm of radiant Passion, emotional fluidity, and creativity. This sacred center serves as the seat of our intimate emotions, deepest feelings and stimulating pleasures and plays an active role in our ability to experience sexual pleasures and expression of our sensory needs and desires.
It is called “Sacral Chakra”
Also known as “Swadhistana” in Sanskrit which means “dwelling place of the self”
Element is Water
Associated with vibrant colour Orange.
Located just below Navel
Basically, this chakra is associated with qualities such as playfulness, humour and fun. This chakra is also closely associated with bladder, kidneys, and reproductive organs and it a helps to regulate the flow of energy in this area of body.
Cultural ReFerence and Mythological Insights
Across diverse cultures and ancient mythologies, the Sacral Chakra holds profound significance as the dwelling place of the divine feminine and the sacred union of polarities. In Hindu mythology, it is revered as the abode of Shakti, the primordial goddess of creation and fertility, whose essence infuses every aspect of existence with vitality and dynamism.
Thus, Sacral chakra plays vital role in the female body, it is the source of strength for women, female reproductive processes such as: menstruation, physical intimacy, pregnancy, menopause, hormonal imbalance are all associated with this chakra, hence its crucial for females to keep their Sacral Chakra empowered.
Our feelings, sensations, emotions all are linked to this chakra. The Sacral chakra is all about movement, flow, care, pleasure & sexuality. It represents the balance of masculine & feminine within us.
Sacral Chakra is also important, as this is where our body/consciousness hides our shadow side, in other words it is home to all the attributes or traits that we do not like about ourselves. Crazy, right?
what causes imbalance in sacral chakra
Yet, in our modern lives, the currents of emotional suppression and societal conditioning often obstruct the free flow of our Sacral energies. Since we were kids, we all are conditioned to stifle our feelings. Who ever dare to express their fears, grief, frustration, sadness, trauma…. are labelled weak. If I borrrow British vocabulary, the concept of the “stiff upper lip” has creeped into our daily behaviours.
But infact there are no good or bad emotions, whatever we feel are valid emotions, yet are not expressed and are kept locked away behind closed doors. We internalise our emotions as we believe this is the right thing to do and gradually what happen, we feel them, but we lose sense of how to express them or define them or simply put them into words.
All these bottled-up emotions such as grief, guilt or shame, dysfunctional relationships, especially those marked by control, manipulation, or emotional suppression, lack of physical exercise are some of the factors that contribute to imbalance of Sacral Chakra
Signs of imbalanced sacral chakra
When our Sacral chakra is balanced, we are radiant, high-spirited, enthusiastic, vibrant, and uninhibited individual. We are full of creative energy and are spontaneous, free and happy.
- When our second chakra is imbalanced, emotional symptoms, such as feeling bitter, rigid, dull, or uninspired, can arise.
- Repressed emotions can gather, blocking our full capacity to feel pleasures of life or bliss.
- We struggle to trust others, be vulnerable, authentic, or allow ourselves to receive pleasure.
- Leads to lack in self-confidence, addictions and obsessive tendencies, and rigidity or inability to form structure.
- For Females physically it rules the womb, thus issues such as urinary tract infections, ovarian cysts, menstrual problems, painful menstruation, difficult menopause transition or other reproductive problems.
- For Males, physically can cause lower or overly active libido, emotionally unavailability, impotence.
- It can also show up as kidney problems, hip, and lower back pain.
how to balance our sacral chakra
- It’s easy to lose touch of our playfulness and creativity. Many of us spend most of our day in front of a computer. Perhaps you look at spreadsheets all day. Or perhaps taking care of house chores all day 24/7, but it’s in our nature to create. We are all creative being — not just those of us who are artists for a living. What can you create? Perhaps it starts by journaling. Or drawing with your kids. Or cooking a delicious meal. Or perhaps it starts in the bedroom. What is calling to you? That’s what’s right. In short rediscover your innocence, remain light-hearted.
- Open your heart, be vulnerable, take steps to move beyond fear to trust others.
- Emotionally work onto develop self-awareness, spend time to understand yourself, pay attention to your emotional needs, openly express your desires.
- Treat your body with respect and pamper it, take warm bath, go to spas, ignore the perfect body crap, love, adore and accept yourself completely without any conditions or ifs and buts.
- Repeat Affirmations “I am worthy of love, pleasure and fulfillment in all aspects of my life”, “I am grateful for everything my body does for me”, “I am in touch with my emotions and embrace them with love and understanding”, “I am a passionate and creative being, and I welcome the abundance of life”, “I release what no longer serves me”.
- Go For Reiki healing, Reiki aid in balancing the sacral chakra, By clearing energy blockages, Reiki facilitates the restoration of natural energy flow, fostering vitality and balance.

Dear friends, as we traverse the sacred landscapes of the Sacral Chakra, let us remember that we are divine vessels of creativity and love. we should embrace the full spectrum of our emotions, for within depths lies the key to unlocking the boundless reservoirs of our soul’s wisdom.
