How to Tell if your Sacral Chakra is Blocked
Start Here if you don’t know what the fudge nugget a chakra is.
Scroll down to the bullet points for symptoms of an underactive or overactive sacral chakra.
The Sacral Chakra
The Second Chakra is the Sacral Chakra, (Svadhistana in sanskrit). It is located approximately one hands-width below your belly button. Due to its proximity to the reproductive organs, the Sacral Chakra is associated with sexuality and abundance. It provides the energy to give birth to new ideas, projects, and artistic endeavors. It can also bring new life and new energy into existing projects. The Sacral Chakra is a wonderful energy center for encouraging creativity.
