More about this chakra: The Second chakra is situated just below your navel. It is known as the Hara or Sacral chakra and is associated with the reproductive organs. It is your centre of emotions and your gender identity.
The sacral chakra treats all issues to do with creativity and self-worth and also on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual problems due to a missalignment with Mother Earth. It assists in the storage of suppressed sexual issues such as abuse and incest. Healing of this chakra treats the sexual organs, prostate, bladder, urethra, ovaries and appendix.
A balanced sacral will nurture your creativity, freedom, fertility, desire, intimacy, reproduction and emotional balance. A problem in this chakra may lead to sex addiction, sexual abuse, obsessive behaviour, feeling unloved, fear of pleasure, impotence, genital problems, lower back problems and the holding of toxicity within the body.
If you do experience a block in this chakra then you could visualise the colour Orange and imagine that this chakra is opening up like a lotus flower, inside the flower visualise a wheel spinning and becoming brighter and brighter orange, all dark areas within the flower are slowly taken over by the colour orange and you see it become more and more intense. When this is done imagine that the lotus flower petals slowly close up over the chakra and ask in your mind that this chakra be cleansed, closed and protected.
