When I think and feel into the Sacral Chakra Energy Center, I feel luscious, juicy, ripe, and yummy. It’s a place where you can safely dream, vision, and inspire your life into existence. Whether you have a uterus or not, you have an energy center that connects your rooted safety to your ‘I am’ center of confidence.

1. What do you want to birth?
2. How long is the gestation period?
3. How will you bring it into the world?
4. What creative expression is craving to be expressed through that delicious, powerful, and exquisite channel that is YOU?

Sacral Chakra

• Creative Life Force and self-expression
• Dream Incubator
• Sensuality
• Pleasure
• Desire
• Passion
• Intimacy – emotional connection & intimacy
• Sexuality

 

In the world we live in those words are not embraced or encouraged.  There are “proper” polite ways we talk about things:

·       Pet names for our private parts.

·       Pleasure and Passion lead to wild, out of control.

·       Desire is too much for a lot of people.

·       We suppress out desires, dreams, visions of who we are

·       We stay so busy there is no time for contemplation

·       We are so busy we can’t even hear ourselves

 

Unbalanced, Disconnected, Denied, Shut Down Behaviors of the Sacral Chakra

Constant criticism, manipulation and invalidation

Blocked Chakra: Guilt/Shame, over-sensitive, being too hard on ourselves. Physically: Impotence, bladder or prostate problems, lower back pain

 

Men: Testes and testosterone production

Women: Uterus, Labia, Vagina, Ovaries

 

1.     If balanced allows healthy expression of their sexual desires and emotional connection in relationships. Fluid movement and adaptability.

2.     Overactive Sacral Chakra - men have the potential for excessive sexual preoccupation, addictive behaviors and emotional instability

3.     Underactive expresses with difficult expressing emotions, intimacy issues, lack of creativity, low libido

 

Simple Practices:

·       Place your hand on your lower belly. Breathe into that space. Keep breathing deeper and longer with big exhales.  Let your breath clear that space, open up the sacred vessel so you can feel, plant your desires and tend to their growth.

·       Wear Orange. Get comfortable with the bold, brightness of Orange. 

·       Eat Orange foods – Oranges, squash, mangos, carrots, apricots, pumpkin, papaya.  Nourish your body.

·       Dance!

·       Laughing (you can fake it until it’s real). There’s even laugh QiGong, Yoga and Meditations.

·       Pleasure yourself – explore with sweetness without expectation. Touch yourself as if you have never touched yourself before. Be curious and playful.
