Today I am going to tell about Svadhisthana Chakra. The sacral chakra is located about two inches below the belly button. It’s associated with the color orange, and the water element. It is our chakra of movement, sensuality, creativity, and emotional intelligence. It also allows us to feel passion and explore our desires. With a healthy sacral chakra, we are in tune with our basic right to feel and experience pleasure. The second chakra, Svadhisthana, is also known as the creativity and sexual chakra. You can open this chakra with creative expression and by honoring your body. The energy of this chakra is feminine, passive, and lunar. The main challenges with this chakra are centred around guilt, fear of change, shame, religious rigidity, inhibitions, social conditioning and subconscious scars.
How to Balance Svadhisthana
Besides being open to creativity in your daily life, you can balance the second chakra by maintaining a healthy sexual life and honoring and respecting your body. Get in touch with your emotions and see if there are any feelings you’re holding onto. Make a commitment to process those emotions in a healthy way.
To achieve balance in Svadhisthana chakra we need to make time for creativity. It may be a hobby you wanted to learn, it may be spending more time preparing food for your family, or repairing items around the home. It could be planting out the garden or spending time writing, drawing or another creative task. Do what is that calls to you!
Root Chakra Color: Orange
The sacral chakra’s associated color is orange. This color represents all of the ideas you imagine that it would – the warm glow of positivity emanates from it expressing success, freedom, determination, and great health. It’s really the perfect color to represent this chakra. If feelings of anxiety or lack of joy and fulfillment are dimming the radiance of Svadhisthana, try surrounding yourself with the color orange.
Sounds, Colors, and Gems that help to open and align Svadhisthana
The mantra sound that corresponds to the sacral chakra is the sound VAM. By chanting VAM, the vibrations will open and align this chakra. The color for the second chakra is orange and the gemstones for this chakra are amber, calcite orange, carnelian, or hematite.

The Sacral Chakra is associated with the water element and its natural flow. Connecting with water, such as a lake or river, helps promote balance here. Taking a shower or a warm bath can also regulate overwhelming emotions.
