How to Activate Sacral Chakra: Techniques for Unlocking Your Creative Energy

The Chakra system is a part of Indian philosophy that discerns the body’s energy centre and provides solutions to imbalances in these energy centres. Each centre directly corresponds to various parts of our body and changes the physical and mental state of the being depending on whether these centres are balanced or imbalanced. 

AN imbalanced chakra may induce much discomfort and affect our mental state. These imbalances not only affect our internal sense of peace but also manifest externalities that may add to the discomfort. Hence, we need to identify the symptoms of an imbalanced chakra and work towards organically resolving these issues.

What are Sacral Chakra?

The Sacral Chakra, also known as the Svadhisthana, is the second energy centre of the body and is denoted by the colour orange. It is located in the lower abdomen, just below the navel, and is directly associated with our sense of creativity, intimacy, emotional stability, and adaptability. It also directly corresponds with organs around the lower abdomen and lower back region.
