SACRAL CHAKRA IN BALANCE
If you were to draw it, in all its sumptuous vibrance, the sacral chakra would look Bohemian, alluring, brightly colored, bordering on wanton with sex on display.
Of course in our own lives, it’s represented with a balanced sex life where we know how to give, receive and experience ecstasy.
Likewise, we enjoy creative expression in whatever form, whether that’s cooking, and enjoying eating it, sewing and savoring the richness of the fabrics, gardening and being able to relax and soak up the fragrances in the garden.
Arguably, as a sensual art, aromatherapy could be described as being aligned most closely to the sacral chakra.
SACRAL CHAKRA IMBALANCE SYMPTOMS
The vitality of this chakra has a direct relationship to how sex was construed in your household when you were a child.
If you were raised in a puritanical home, where sex was spoken of in hushed tones, or was considered as something dirty, then there is almost certainly likely to be a weakness here.
On the other side, you can see promiscuity, sex addictions, lascivious behavior and over-indulgence in all its forms.
Flipping it over again, maybe we see frigidity or fear of sex. Secrets hidden and again, possibly eating disorders arising from self-hatred and repression.
The hardest lesson to learn, for someone with issues with the sacral chakra, is that there is more to life than surviving, that marriages should be enjoyed, and to give themselves permission to enjoy pleasure.
Physically too, it’s very hard for a woman to allow her hips to soften and open when the energy here is pulled so tight. Often vulvodynia and menstrual issues see remarkable improvements with healing here.
