An open and flowing sacral chakra means you are able to feel - emotionally and physically, connect authentically and deeply with yourself and others with authentic expression. This chakra teaches us to harness the power within us and to utilize our highest creative self to express the life we want to live out.
How the Second Chakra Relates to Sex
Sexually, this is the pleasure chakra and is deeply connected to our partnerships with others. Every relationship we create – from the casual to the most intimate – has a purpose, no matter how painful , to help us become more consciously aware of our shadows and ourselves - to help us evolve. Sacral chakra also correlates to physical things we find pleasure in such as painting, dancing or writing - really anything that brings us pleasure and joy. (2)
Imbalance in the sacral chakra can manifest as:
- Dependency, co-dependency with other people or a substance that gives your instant and false sense of pleasure
- Difficulty creating intimate connections with others - Infertility, urinary problems - Feeling numb or lost
-Overindulgence in fantasies, sexual obsessions - Or the opposite: Lack of sexual desire or producing orgasms
- Feeling stuck (2)
