Sacral Chakra
Sacral Chakra (*Water, no.4, Orange. Desire & Creativity...)
Is a centre of passion and personal power, and a master generator of your essence. Center of creativity and personal desire. And of course sexual and sensual energy. It also deals with relationships, and how we relate to others and co-create with others in our life. Here we have to watch out for the power struggles we have been experiencing in relationships with people, and the lack of joy or suppressed desires. Creativity plays a huge role in the alignment of this centre.
Relationships and control - How we control others and how we let others control us (*childhood.) Misuse of power, manipulation for a personal benefit.
If you are being controlled by others your sacra chakra will get misaligned very quickly. Also fear of losing control and chronically controlling every aspect of your life and others in it belongs to this place. Controlling yourself and not letting yourself to get "loose", letting your hair down, to dance, to follow your creative impulses is another sign that this chakra needs your attention...
Creative Expression - Are you expressing yourself freely? Or do you live with the lid on? Are you feeling truly alive? Are you pursuing your passions? The best way how to get this chakra in alignment is through sound and creation like painting, drawing, sculpting, or any kind of visual art form would be very beneficial for your sacral chakra... Dancing is another powerful creative expression that can help this centre a lot.
Trauma
Because it is linked to the womb which is considered the house of creation is also linked to our trauma with our mothers.
Birth - itself is a traumatic event and those of you who were not born the natural way, were forced out and didn't "work on" getting yourself to this world as a little baby have here something to explore. A lot of forced births or complications at the delivery are contributing to all sorts of issues in adulthood.
Abortion = Karma and a huge fragmentation within the women that choose this road. (*no judgement, the human journey is messy and we all have skeletons in the closet)
Sexual abuse and trauma that comes with it sit here in this centre too and it is very difficult to process
Misaligned Sacral Chakra
Diffidence, timidity and shyness, feeling lifeless or not truly alive, not being able to get intimate with people, not being able to express yourself freely, depriving yourself of pleasures, can't find anything to be passionate about, feeling powerless, giving your power away to others, frustration...
Governs - womb, sexual organs, bladder, kidneys, adrenal glands, large intestine, appendix, spleen, lower back, pelvis and also hips. So this suggests that if you have a physical problem with any of these it's because your sacral chakra is misaligned.
Tip no1.
In Yoga the naval point is considered the "Maintenance Center" and in my experience, the sound "AAAAAA" is the best one to use and that revibrates in that area. Sadhguru has amazing kriya called Isha Kriya and that one will not only help you with the sacral chakra but transform your mind within 90 days. - *you can find the full post about my experience with this practice on my blog in the yoga section. It’s a very simple and powerful practice and it’s a daily must right now that we help the body purge the trauma that is running deep in the entire collective for centuries. Isha Kriya has 18min and it’s one of those easy long-term practices that everyone can do.
Another great way and one of the best that you can pick up is Kundalini Yoga, that in my opinion is the very best. It deals heavily with the lower chakras, with the foundation, but also with thought forms, addictions, karma, subconscious programming and ancestral patterns or transgenerational trauma. I honestly don’t know anything better than this but it’s hardcore and it took me a lot of time to get used to it. My favourite Kundalini Yogi is Jai Dev Singh - he really perfected the kundalini practices and turned them into something very beautiful in a very profound artistic way. The music that comes with it is just such a treat and he made me fall in love with the classes he teaches. It’s always such an artistic experience even though I come out of it sore, it always transformed me in a very profound way. I feel lighter, peaceful, stronger and renewed just in one class. Kundalini yoga works the fastest, you will feel the difference straight in the first 30min. The classes are long and heavy on breath-work and endurance.
Gayatri Kriya - Akhanda Yoga Institute
is another brilliant 18min long practice that is for all the chakras, and all the system get tuned slowly surely if you practice it daily for at last 48days straight - you will feel completely different after. It’s gentle.
There is no other way I know of that can help you to deal with so much pain we have in the body right now and the fragmentation we encounter during this lifetime, the entire evolution or ascension symptoms than shadow work and tantra yoga along side with the right food.
To deal with your own trauma, karmic imprints, ancestral patterns and all the other programming you need awareness, to get the awareness you need clarity. To get those two you need to work your upper chakras, so you can be aware what is going on in your life, and be able to work bravely your lower chakras and deal with what comes out when the chakras start to release the unwanted or the contamination that is not the true you and for that, you need yogic practices. To put it bluntly, we ALL need to work all our chakras to be able to face whatever will show up for us individually and to be able to function in this world we must do something…
Right now everyone is experiencing their own traumas, some are not conscious of it but the entire humanity is going through a massive purging and you either take full responsibility to help your body or you will be in pain. You will be in pain anyway but it will be less stressful with having the practices that you can lean to.
This age requires a bigger awareness, bigger activation of the subtle body and emotional maturity, strength and more energy. That’s why you have this blog and all the information that can help you to navigate the evolution with ease. Years ago when there was no one to turn to and I fell into a very dark pit I would give anything to have a place like this where to go for information.
Afterword
“There is nothing wrong with you” - remember that. You were programmed to belive that you are broken, misfit, not acceptable, weak, too sensitive, too this or that… We all have trauma and we all felt broken… It’s time to release that past conditioning and come home to your true self.
