Copy of Sacral Chakra
Mantra: SVADHISTHANA
This second chakra point is found in the pelvic area and is the pleasure center of your emotional, creative and sexual energy. When blocked you may be over-indulging in desires, feeling emotionally and physically destabilized, experiencing a lack of creativity or uncertainty about things. When open, you will feel more playful, joyful and create intimate relationships in your life. Follow the Pooja Practice to open your sacral chakra like a lotus flower opening to the cosmos.
When to use
When experiencing boredom, lack of creativity, overly emotional, easily offended, attachments to people or material objects, use the Sacral Chakra bath bomb to help provide a sense of emotional stability and relaxation
Essential Oils
Ylang Ylang:
Derived from botanical flowers, studies have shown that this essential oil has a compound found to possess stress-reducing properties that soothes anxiety, sadness, tension, and sleeplessness. Ylang Ylang is also used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, improve mood, and enhance libido.
Neroli:
Also known as orange blossom oil, Neroli is extracted from the flowers of bitter orange trees. This oil is said to reduce inflammation, alleviate stress and anxiety, stimulate circulation and enhance mood. A small study showed that Neroli relieved symptoms associated with menopause, high blood pressure and low libido.
POOJA PRACTICE
Once in your warm bath, release the chakra bomb in your left hand and close your eyes. Breathe deeply inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Bring your awareness in your pelvic area, visualize an orange glow radiating around you. Let go of any emotional uncertainty in your life and chant the sacred Mantra ‘VAM’ for 1-2 minutes. When ready, open your eyes to see you are enveloped in the seed color of this chakra. Repeat aloud this powerful affirmation with eyes open or closed: “Light radiates from me and I embrace my emotions.” May this practice help to cleanse and restore balance, bringing healing and overall well-being to you. Rest and be at Peace
Sacral Chakra Balancing
To be successful in the process of opening blocked energy in the sacral chakra, you must begin by embracing your emotions whatever that may be, without judgement, because it’s ok to be you exactly as you are. This is your time to be intimate, loving and affectionate with your desires, creativity and emotions without judgement and without fear, as the authentic you. Underactive energy in this chakra can cause physical and emotional distress like fear of happiness, self-sabotage, depression, low libido and infections. With overactive energy you may be experiencing destructive emotions like jealousy or rage, you may be getting lost in fantasies or indulging excessively in addictive behaviors and being overly dependent on others.
The key is to familiarize yourself with the signs and symptoms of an under or overactive second chakra. Once you recognize what is amiss, the next step is learning about pooja practice to begin the journey and restore balance to your sacral chakra and its full potential, improving your overall well-being. So be honest with yourself, pay attention and observe when you are having difficulty feeling joy for yourself or maybe overly envious of others. Ask your body where it's coming from, breathe deeply and focus on that area. Journal any thoughts or images that come to you. And when you are ready to be kind to yourself, draw a warm bath and use Pooja’s Sacral Chakra Bath Bomb to help release it.
