A few exercises to activate and/or purify the Svadhistana Chakra

·        The Butterfly

·          Lie flat on your back: take time to stretch languorously, then relax for ten minutes or so.

·          From a sitting position, bring the soles of your feet together. Bring your heels as close to your body as possible.

·          Breathe in as you straighten your body so that your back is straight (your chest rises slightly).

·          Clasp the fingers of both hands around your feet. Gently bounce your knees in time with your breathing (like the beating of a butterfly’s wings).

·          Concentrate on the area of the Svadhistana Chakra (lower abdomen) and continue to do so throughout this exercise.

·          Repeat the exercise several times, for a few minutes at a time. Finish by leaning forward as you breathe out and returning to your initial position  as you breathe in.

·          Then, lie flat on your back, breathe calmly and deeply and feel the movement of energy in the lower part of your body.
