Roots to Crown: Sacral Chakra Svadhisthana
Welcome, My Beautiful Souls โจ
Today, we continue our Chakra Series with a deep dive into the Sacral Chakra โ the center of your creative expression, emotional balance, and sensual energy. ๐๐งก
๐ The Sacral Chakra: Flow, Pleasure & Creative Energy
The Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana), glowing bright orange, sits just below your navel in the lower abdomen. This chakra is the energy center of creativity, emotions, intimacy, and pleasure. Itโs where your passions flow, your emotions stir, and your soul learns how to embrace joy.
When the Sacral Chakra is balanced, you feel emotionally connected, inspired, and alive. You allow yourself to experience pleasure without guilt, and your creativity naturally flows into everything you do.
When it is blocked, you may feel emotionally stagnant, creatively uninspired, or even burdened by guilt, shame, or fear of intimacy. Physically, blockages can manifest as lower back pain, reproductive issues, or urinary discomfort.
๐ Purpose of the Sacral Chakra
Governs emotions and how we express them
