The sacral chakra is one of 7 energy centres of the Chakra system. This system, which originated in India hundreds of years ago, of energy alignment works on 7 energy centres located along the spine and the head. Each centre has a unique set of characteristics and
functions. This week our focus is on the sacral chakra that is located between the belly button and pubic bone. It is associated with the colour orange and focuses on the energy around movement, creativity and pleasure.
When working with the Chakras our goal is for each chakra to be balanced so that we are free from disease in the body and dis-ease in the mind, soul and spirit. However, in modern-day life, achieving this balance can be difficult. We can find that any one of our Chakras can be underactive, overactive, or even blocked. So what do you need to look out for to know what your Sacral is doing?
Blocked Sacral Chakra
A sign that our sacral chakra is blogged is that we often feel an overwhelming sense of guilt. A feeling that we aren't doing or being enough. We may suffer an inferiority complex or view ourselves in a very negative light and feel that we deserve to be punished. We may have difficulty with intimacy, either in forming healthy physical attachments or in the way we view sexual relationships.
Physical ailments that indicate an imbalance in the sacral chakra include:
Lower back pain
Arthritis
Genital or sexual problems
Anaemia
Joint problems
Low energy
Kidney or spleen problems
Underactive Sacral Chakra
Signs to look for that may indicate an underactive sacral chakra include:
Have a difficult time expressing sensuality and emotions
A detachment from feelings and emotions of self or others
Can be callous and appear uncaring
A deep belief that sexuality is wrong
Lack imagination
Overactive Sacral Chakra
Signs to look for that may indicate an overactive sacral chakra include:
Controlled by emotions
Struggle with addiction
Become too attached, becomes unhealthy
Can be manipulative
Can often feel everything and become overwhelmed.
The good news is that there are lots of tools and strategies we can bring into our every day that can help bring our sacral chakra back into alignment.
Meditation
A daily meditation practice, as little as 5 minutes a day, while visualising a warm, orange light radiating from the location of the sacral chakra be beneficial. You can also add a chant of "Vaaaaaaammmmmmmm" either out loud or silently in your mind, to add an extra dimension to the healing process.
Yoga
Practising yoga poses such as Goddess or Crescent pose helps to open up, stimulate and balance the sacral chakra.
Diet
Adding orange foods such as oranges, sweet potatoes and carrots to your diet can help bring your sacral into balance as they resonate with the sacral chakra's colour and energy.
Affirmations
Repeating positive affirmations related to creativity, sensuality, and self-worth can help to reprogram the sacral charka. Examples include:
I am a passionate and sensual being
I enjoy pleasures in all areas of my life
I am comfortable in my body and I treat it with care
I allow creativity to flow through me freely
I choose to feel joy and excitement often
I am spontaneous and I all my intuition to guide me
Sound Healing
Attend an in-person sound bath or sound healing session. Alternatively, you can listen to sacral healing music by searching on YouTube or Google. Investing in a Tibetan singing bowl for the sacral chakra could also be a good option to help bring the charka into balance.
If you feel as though there is a lot of work for you to do in bringing your sacral chakra into balance, you may like to think about a Crystal Reiki Healing session.
