Your Introduction to the Chakras: The Sacral Chakra

From balancing our Root Chakra, we begin to move our way up the energy body. Once we are grounded and safe and secure, we gather the confidence to go beyond. To connect with new aspects of our being. Our Creative Self, our Sexual Self, our Passionate Self.

Although connected to the element of water, I believe we find our inner fire here. And often when I work with this Chakra I imagine a fire burning. When this Chakra is out of balance, we may need to nurture our selves, tend to our emotions, explore pleasure. When coming back to balance, I see the embers beginning to re-ignite, the fire being stoked to burn a little brighter, to provide more warmth, to inspire more action, encourage more confidence.

And then we meet our Confident Self, the Self who is brave, courageous and inspired. We look at our grounded life through a lens of creating more, desiring more for ourselves, and when in balance we have the courage to make it happen.

Practices to support you in bringing your Sacral Chakra into balance

Superhuman Stance: Feeling you need a confidence boost? Lovingly stand feet planted on the ground, hip width apart. Knees soft, nose to chin to extend the neck a little. Hands firmly on your hips. Chest broadens, but without sticking your ribs out. It’s as if you’re looking upwards from your chest. And stand here, I want you to imagine in your minds eye your Superhuman Self. How would they be standing when they knew nothing could touch them nothing could discourage them, that nothing that anyone else does or says would come anywhere near them? How would they stand? And now imagine that the Superhuman is you. What is it in your world right now that is perhaps holding you back, discouraging you, dimming you down? And can you take lead from the Superhuman? Can you bring that confidence, that un-touch-ability to your world, your experience. something that you’re struggling with or wanting to overcome? Spend a few more breaths here and draw that confident, courageous, passionate, fire energy in with each breath. Igniting your Sacral Self.

Song: When the first start to burn: Disclosure. Pop this song on and get into your hips. Begin to sway them, bending the knees, bringing more movement into the lower half of your body. Circle the hips, and get that pelvis moving, swinging the hips, freeing any stagnant energy caught here for you.

Reiki: With both hands placed below your belly button, in Reiki, we imagine the embers of your creative fire slowly igniting, growing in strength and confidence. You fire up your creativity, your passions and your sexual Self. From grounded at the base chakra, you ignite the courage to move forward, move in the right direction, charged up with creativity and desire.
