Associated with the emotional body, sensitivity, and creativity.
Its energy is characterized by flow and flexibility. The function is directed by the principle of pleasure. It is also associated with relationships, expressions of sexuality, feeling the outer and inner worlds, creativity, and fantasies.
Motivated by pleasure, it is the driving force for the enjoyment of life through our five senses.
Imbalances manifest as dependency with other people or substances which grant you easy access to pleasure, being ruled by your emotions, or just the opposite by feeling numb or out of touch with yourself and how you feel.
Overactivity may manifest as being overly emotional and prone to outbursts.
Inactivity may show itself as being shy or timid. Being scared to express yourself and take up space.
The Sacral Chakra is close to the Root Chakra and is concerned with safety and needs, but from an emotional standpoint rather than the physical. Deep-seated trauma can leave much work to be done in this chakra, but it is a rewarding and worthwhile venture.
Tips on balancing this chakra include visualizing the color orange, envisioning a glowing ball of orange light in your lower belly, listening to the musical note D or music in the 741 Hz range, watching the sunset, exercising, engaging in fun and sensual activities, and honoring your physical and emotional body in small ways as well as big ones.
