Sacral Chakra: Svadhishthana
When Sacral Chakra is Blocked
Chakra’s are evolving energy sources within the subtle body. As such, they can be deficient (closed/blocked) or excessive (open). When a Chakra is deficient, not enough energy is flowing. This could express itself as feeling tired, sluggish, or listless. When too much energy is flowing, you might feel aggression, agitation and even project these feelings onto others. Here are some things to look for when Crown Chakra is out of balance.
Trouble expressing your emotions to yourself and others, even so far as being guarded or closed off.
Tendency to be a drama queen. You thrive off excess dramatic emotion.
Addictive tendencies towards food, gambling, drinking, sex, shopping, drugs or other vice.
Feel a lack of creativity and loss of connection with yourself and your desires.
Sexually closed off, lacking desire and connection with others. Adversely if the Chakra is too open, you may feel hypersexual, possibly manic.
Loss of interest in your hobbies and an overall loss of self/identity. This can also manifest itself as codependency on others as you lose sight of your own identity.
General feelings of uncertainty, resistance to change, lack of authentic connection and joy.
Activities to Unblock Sacral Chakra
When Sacral Chakra is balanced, you’ll feel at ease, comfortable expressing yourself sexually and full of life to embrace the world at large. Energy will flow freely giving you the drive to take on new, exciting opportunities and connect with those around you. These activities will balance & activate your Sacral Chakra.
Be aware of emotions that arise in your day to day activities. Observe the thoughts, feelings and actions surrounding these encounters and ask yourself if these are healthy forms of expression/reactions. Becoming more aware can help you shift negative thoughts/reactions as a result of your emotional state into positive ones.
