THE SECOND CHAKRA




   This is called the Svadhisthana or Sacral Chakra. It is situated in the abdomen, just under the navel, between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra. It is linked to the reproductive organs: the ovaries or testicles.

   It is associated with the element "Water", the source of all biological life, and with the sense of taste. Water fertilises and, in Creation, brings forth new life. Thanks to the Sacral Chakra, the individual is connected with the fertilising and receptive energies of Nature.

   Water is also a purifying element. It dissolves and carries away everything which is "solidified". On a physical level, this means detoxification and elimination via the kidneys and the bladder. On a psychic level, you feel this chakra by "loosening your grip" and "letting go" of your feelings, in order to be prepared to renew your life, so that it is constantly being started afresh in a spontaneous way.

   This is the chakra of the past, the family, procreation, sensuality, the pleasures of life (eating, etc.). It's through this chakra that you can "feel" the sacred aspect of existence. Our dealings with others, and especially the opposite sex, are profoundly affected by this Sacral Chakra. It is responsible for constantly creating contact with others, and it influences relationships and the emotional side of life.
