I’m honored to bring you the next chakra in this Chakra series! Today we work with Svadhisthana (the ‘v’ a little like a soft ‘w’), also known in English as the Sacral Chakra. The key word for this chakra is “moving”.
“Beneath heaven nothing is more soft and yielding than water.
Yet for attacking the solid and strong,
Nothing can take its place.
Therefore the soft can overcome the hard,
The weak can overcome the strong.
Under heaven, everyone knows this,
Yet no one puts it into practice.”
~ Tao Te Ching
Where Muladhara represents Earth, Svadhisthana represents water. Water follows the path of least resistance and flows downward, following the shapes and watering the roots of the Earth.
Earth is solid and fixed , however, water invites change and flow.
Once our basic needs are met, when our roots have been sufficiently watered, we feel safe to journey into our own place of emotion, sexuality, and the senses
Our bodies are made up of mostly water, are shaped by the structure of our muscles and bones, and within these bodies flow our emotions and desires, wants and needs, feelings and sensations.
The principle of this chakra is pleasure. Whether viewing a piece of art or a beautiful sunset, tasting a delicious meal, listening to soothing music, or savoring a lover’s touch, pleasure is a natural healing force provided through all the senses.
