The Chakra system is a part of Indian philosophy that discerns the existence and impacts of the energy centres within the body. Yogic philosophies have systematically deconstructed the chakra system to pinpoint the effects each chakra has on our physical and psychological well-being.

The Svadhisthana is the second energy centre within our body located just below the navel in the lower abdomen. It is also known as the Sacral Chakra and is denoted by the colour orange. It plays an important part in regulating our emotions and affects organs in its proximity. The Svadhisthana impacts our emotional stability, creativity and our sensuality. 

A balanced Sacral chakra has many positive impacts on our lives and hence it is important to understand the symptoms of an unbalanced chakra and work towards opening the sacral chakra. During the process of opening a chakra, many changes arise in the body which when discerned can be affirmed to ensure progress.
