Secret Aura

Chakras are amazingly diverse & meaningful energy centers.  They hold a huge amount of information for us on many levels; physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Here is a simple outline of some of the more traditional associations with the Sacral Chakra.

Alternative Name:    2nd Chakra,  Spleen or Splenic Chakra Svadistana. 
The name can be translated as meaning 'sweetness'. I like to use the word pleasure. It’s about our desires, pleasures, the things we like and dislike, what we draw close to us and that which we push away.

Color:             Orange is the color associated with the Sacral Chakra.

 
Symbol;         A lotus flower with six red petals. The element associated with the 2nd Chakra is water - and one of the most common properties with this Chakra is the ability to flow.  The association with water connects to your emotions.  Emotional energy needs to flow - it is thought that blockages in your emotional energy can go have a great impact on your physical body too.

Mantra;         Vam

Animal;         The crocodile represents the Sacral Chakra. When we think about the associations this has, we can see that the crocodile moves excellently in water, it may be hidden under the surface but then it can leap out with great power and strength – at any time!. Again this can be compared to your emotional energy, at times things may ripple under the surface and at others they may just erupt!

Location;         The Sacral Chakra rests in the lower belly region, below the navel.  It also affects the lower back/ buttock region.

Physical Associations;    The endocrine glands associated with this Chakra are the ovaries and testes. The organs of the body affected are the internal reproductive organs as well as the bowel and uterus.  As it involves your reproductive organs the Sacral Chakra is obviously linked with your fertility but not just on the physical level it is also about your creative ability in other areas of your life too.
