Balancing Your Sacral Chakra

The chakras are part of your energy centers and there are seven chakras in your body. The energies that flow through your body are your life force. When you have chakras that are unbalanced, it can cause you to have problems in your mind, body, and soul. If you have a sacral chakra that is unbalanced or weak, it can cause you to feel that you aren’t having your sexual needs met, that you have no creativity and you might even find that you are frustrated easily.

During ancient times, the chakras were part of the focus of health. The sacral chakra is one that sometimes needs to have energy healing so that it can be balanced and strong.

Understanding the Sacral Chakra

The sacral chakra is also called the Svadhisthana and is found right below the belly button. It is where you have your sexual connections with other people, and this can be where you find your pleasure.

This chakra can make you feel creative and satisfied and when your body is speaking things to you, it will tell you that it desires certain things. The sacral chakra also works with the lymphatic system and the circulatory system. This also helps to keep the bladder and the large intestines strong as well as the reproductive organs.

The color orange is associated with the sacral chakra and the element of it is water. This means it will flow the energy that will make you have pleasure and connections. When you connect with the moon, you will see your chakra get stronger.

There are animals that will help you to increase your sacral chakra such as the tiger, bees, crocodiles, dolphins, frogs and more. These animals show strength and radiance.
