THE SECOND CHAKRA
The NAVEL Chakra or SPLEEN Chakra / SACRAL Chakra or The SWADISHTHANA
[It is from this Chakra the Emotional Identity rises]
Location: Lower abdomen to the navel area, including the lower back and sexual organs. The approximate center is three (3) fingers below the navel on the abdomen, about where the womb would be.
Color: Orange
Element: Water
Glands/Organs: Ovaries, testicles, prostate, genitals, spleen, womb, bladder
Gems/Minerals: Carnelian, Coral, Gold Calcite, Amber, Citrine, Golden Topaz, Peach Aventurine
Foods: Liquids, Orange Fruits and Vegetables
This Chakra is associated with emotions, creativity, and sexuality of both genders, though this Chakra contributes more to the female sexual drive than the male. It connects us to others through feelings, desires, sensations, and movement. It brings to us a strong desire for unity with others. Creativity is brought to life through this Chakra. The 2nd Chakra still has a strong earth connection, so it is also “physical” oriented, but there is more “we” than “me” in the link. It connects us to others through empathy and social interactions. Urges for family and procreation come from this Chakra. Through it comes learning to give and receive, the assimilation of new ideas, and the ability to work harmoniously and creatively with others. Also related to the Second Chakra are vitality, desire, pleasure, and sexual/passionate love.
Ideally this Chakra brings fluidity and grace, creativity, tolerance, depth of feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the ability to accept change. It is about friendliness, creativity, emotions and intuition on the gut level.
When this Chakra is congested it can lead to feelings of isolation and a desire to be alone or it can cause dependency. One can become shy, timid, immobilized by fear, overly sensitive, self negating, and burdened by guilt
When over-stimulated it can cause bouts of intense emotions, an overwhelming need for attention, or a tendency towards physical excess. One can become emotionally explosive, overly ambitious, manipulative, and caught up in illusions.
When this Chakra is unbalanced the person may over-indulge in food and/or sex. There may be sexual difficulties, confusion, and purposelessness. Overindulgent sexual energy can make one see people as sex objects. There could also be jealousy, envy, and the desire to possess. Physical manifestations of an unbalanced Navel Chakra include impotence, uterine or prostate problems, or bladder problems.
A blocked 2nd Chakra can make a person antisocial, cause poor sexual relations or sexual dysfunctions, and make them incapable of expressing and feeling emotions.
Keeping the Navel Chakra healthy and balanced will keep your thinking clear and allow the creative juices to flow. It will smooth social interactions and strengthen the empathic senses. It contributes to one being friendly, having concern for others, and gives a sense of belonging. And it will bring sexual fulfillment and satisfaction through passionate love. This in turn will contribute to emotional health in the Aura.
