It deals with polarity, receptivity, sensation and desire. Its element is WATER, whilst its associated
celestial body is the MOON which pulls the oceans of water to and fro in a dualistic
rhythmic motion. When the second chakra is balanced, we are able to experience emotional
pleasure, flexibility, fluidity and creativity in life.
Energy blockages in this chakra can show up in co-dependency, neediness,
or the feeling that we are not worth anything unless we are with someone else.
Through the practice of yoga we can explore ways to deepen our understanding
of and connection to the fluid nature of this energy centre, helping us to
bring the qualities of flexibility, creativity and fluidity into our lives. The invitation with the second chakra, is to move
slowly, fluidly, feel sensuous with movement and notice sensation within.
Each chakra is associated with a colour vibration. The colour of Svadisthasana
is ORANGE. Try bringing more of this colour into your life, thereby attracting
the vibrations associated with a healthy and functioning second chakra.
Orange Colour Meditation
Start by focusing softly on the centre of the sunrise in the image. As you inhale and exhale, imagine that you are breathing in the essence of the colour into the space just below your tummy button, that goes right the way through your middle to the sacrum, at the back of your body. Allow yourself to be infused with the colour vibration to feel renewed and emotionally balanced.
