Chakras are localized energy points in the body, each representing its own center of spiritual power. These spinning discs draw in energy and keep your body’s physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional well-being balanced and open. If a chakra is blocked, you may feel physical or emotional symptoms specific to that particular chakra. If you haven’t read our Complete Chakra Guide, now’s your chance!
What’s a Sacral Chakra?
Your sacral chakra, or Svadhisthana, is the second chakra in the seven-system lineup, located in the lower abdomen. This chakra is our center for creativity, emotional balance, sexuality, and sensuality. In Sanskrit, Svadhisthana means, “where your being is established.”
The sacral chakra, along with the other four first chakras, represents a more grounded, physical-bodied connection, as opposed to the third eye, crown, and throat chakras. This chakra is linked to feelings of desire and is widely recognized as the source of your divine feminine energy, regardless of your sex or gender identity.
Your sacral chakra influences your self-expression and sexual relationships and is often the key to unlocking healthy habits and boundaries. An open, free-flowing sacral chakra means an effortless flow of emotions and creativity, accepting and celebrating your sexual desire, and the ability to accept the joy and pleasure that you deserve!
What Happens if My Sacral Chakra is Blocked?
A blocked sacral chakra can present itself in several ways, including repeated dysfunctional relationships, creative stagnation, feelings of dissatisfaction, and a decreased libido.
If you’ve been slacking on your chakra cleansing rituals (i.e., crystal healing, meditative practices, grounding exercises, aromatherapy, etc.), your sacral chakra probably needs some serious TLC!
What Happens When I Open My Sacral Chakra?
Well, for starters, you’ll feel those creative juices flowing. Think free sexual expression, comfort in your own skin, and a non-stop flow of creative inspiration. Expressing yourself and opening yourself up to pleasure has never felt easier. An open and active sacral chakra allows you to become aware of your subconscious desires, embrace change, and let go of the toxic influences in your sexual and creative life. You’re effortlessly your best self!
“But how will I know for sure that my sacral chakra is open?” Trust us, you’ll know. Once your sacral chakra is cleared of all blockages, you’ll feel in tune with your divine creative energy.
Okay, So How Can I Open My Sacral Chakra?
1. Orange You Glad to Open Your Chakra?
Your sacral chakra is represented by the color orange. Incorporating this color into your life, whether through food, crystals, or clothing can help send good vibes to your sacral chakra. Orange crystals such as carnelian, citrine, and jasper are perfect for healing a blocked sacral chakra (bonus points if you wear them on a necklace!).
2. Meditate
The great thing about meditation is that it looks different for everyone. Build an altar, experiment with singing bowls, but most importantly, prioritize meditation while focusing on the sacral chakra whenever you have some extra free time.
3. Crystal Therapy
Crystal therapy is key. Using crystals and stones that are different shades of orange can promote sacral chakra healing energies. Wear your best orange crystals around your neck, meditate with them resting on your sacral chakra, carry them in your purse or pocket, or decorate your sacred space with them! The possibilities are endless.
4. Manifestation
It might seem silly, but routine manifestation is a real thing! Repeating and reminding yourself of some key phrases can make all the difference. Try these:
- “I allow myself to feel deeply”
- “I embrace my creativity”
- “I am worthy of pleasure and happiness”
- “I trust and healthily express my desires”
5. Journaling
Yes, your sacral chakra may be blocked by some kind of emotional damage that needs working through. Allowing your feelings and thoughts to flow freely on the page may be more therapeutic than you think. It can help clear your mind, reduce anxiety, and promote focus.
