I hope you have gone through & understood the week 1 & week 2 posts of this series.

Today let us understand the second chakra - Sacral or Swadhishthan Chakra.

I am sharing various aspects of the sacral chakra, and pointers to find if your sacral chakra is imbalanced & couple of modalities you can opt to balance your chakras. I want you to do a simple exercise at the end of this post. 

Physical Location - Reproductive area, below the navel, at the center of lower belly.

Physical Characteristics - Reproductive organs, lymphatic system, lower abdomen, large intestine

Non-Physical Characteristics - Feelings, emotions, sexuality, creativity, relationships, flow & flexibility of emotions & thoughts

What Happens When This Chakra Is Balanced - depth of feeling, grace, sexual fulfillment, nurturing relationship, pleasure, harmonious exchange of thoughts, spontaneity, zest for life

What Happens When This Chakra Is Imbalanced (Blocked or Over Stimulated) - PMS, illnesses related to reproductive organs like ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, testicular cancer. Non-physical issues like jealousy, guilt, shame of body, shame of sexuality, possessiveness, relationship troubles, being ruled too much by emotions, disconnection from self, sexual obsessions or lack of sexual desire,  feeling stuck in mood/feeling
