Sacral Chakra
The Sacral chakra, or Swadishthan, is the second Chakra, located slightly below the navel. It regulates the energy associated with passion, pleasure, sensuality and creativity. Associated with the colour orange and having the Beej Mantra of Vam, it has the element Water and is Feminine in nature. Blockage of the Sacral Chakra could be due to strict parenting, sexual abuse, toxic relationships, religious indoctrination etc. Sacral Chakra Healing is needed when it gets blocked (or becomes overactive).
