Our continuing series addressing the seven main chakras, we have posted here in Mediums Too, in our “Spiritual Corner.” Last time we shared information about the Root Chakra, “The I am”, the basic internal survival chakra. The instinctive means in which we wake up everyday, get dressed, and walk out the door into life.
As you may recall the chakras are energy centers that acquire, process and transfer information throughout your body. These seven main chakras when balanced and aligned, work together to keep you in a state of health and well being. When not harmonious or aligned, it can cause not only physical sickness, but mental health can come into play.
The Sacral or “Svadhisthana” chakra, it’s translation is “The Place of Self”. This is where you reside in your body, a place of truly feeling at home. We experience peace, creativity, enjoyment of our achievements. The feeling of being grounded in our world, who we are as sexual human beings. The connection with life, other people, aspirations, desires and above all else, joy.
The Sacral chakra is one of the most essential energy centers in the body. The location of this chakra in the sacral area influences self expression, confidence, as well emotional balance. It is important to keep this chakra aligned and balanced to keep our mind centered, our bodies off the path of destruction, health wise.
A balanced soul understands the importance of life itself, it instinctively acts of survival, our place in this world, our pleasures, indulgences, and all that we find comfort in, often without thought. We are drawn to this place of harmony, like honey to the bee. The rewards of hard work, bring forth good things, but, when unbalanced, everything seems unattainable, no place to go home and find solace, or peace.
This Sacral chakra is marked by the color orange, and it’s element is water. The body affected are the pelvis, sacrum, genitals, reproductive system, urinary tract, bladder, kidneys, lumbar spine, and lower abdomen. When this chakra is off balanced, it can bring depression, lack of confidence, as a direct result of lack of self-esteem. Just to name a couple symptoms. It truly is like a light switch, when the Sacral is in check, the light of your soul shines bright with enthusiasm, creativity, happiness, when the switch is off, well, there you go… Dark
When the switch is off and negative symptoms check in, eating orange fruits and vegetables can help from the physical standpoint. Certain crystals can help bring positive healing energy. Mentally, affirmations can be a huge help, such as, I am a good person, I do care about myself and world around me, I am a beautiful, heart center person, that truly does care, and many more positive words. Stating these positive truths can not only in a short time with continued application, heal the soul, but, can rewire the brain much like the Law of Attraction in essence. When you set affirmative intentions, over time, it becomes your truth, your reality. Every day, you can wake up and feel good about life, your family, the many blessings that have been bestowed upon you. It’s often been said, “You can plant seeds creating a positive garden, or you can plant seeds creating a negative garden”… It’s your choice, remember, you are in control.
Dance in your inner child, take time to sing to your favorite song, think back to simple days as a child, play in the rain, climb a hill, dare to dream of those special moments that brought up YOU. Stay with the good thoughts, if negative child memories continue to plaque you, seek healing of the inner child. Soon, I will be writing a series on healing the inner child. Stay tuned.
Its the finding of your true soul and being, that brings peace to your valley. Finding comfort that I am, and why you are, with a deeper understanding of self. The expression and inner movement, the defining of the soul, the purpose, the identity, that is as unique as your finger print, your footsteps in the sand. Oh, and those of you seeking heightened intuition…. A balanced Sacral, brings that too!
Next time, the Solar Plexus chakra, until then…………..
