The Sacral Chakra is the second of the 7 Chakras. It is represented by the color orange. Also referred to as the Spleen Chakra, it is located between the area of your naval and pelvis. The Sacral Chakra is directly associated with how you relate to other people. This includes the love one has for the opposite sex, as well as sexual energy. The Sacral Chakra opens us up to a realm of health, well being, pleasure and abundance in life. We may experience peace and wisdom when this Chakra is balanced.

When the Sacral Chakra is blocked, you may experience problems with your reproductive system, spleen or back. An imbalance here can also affect how you feel emotionally. Jealousy towards others or a lack of satisfaction with what life has dealt you is a common indicator that your Sacral Chakra needs balancing.

By balancing the Sacral Chakra you can maintain healthy, friendly relationships with others by genuinely caring about them. It helps you not take everything that happens so seriously so that you can see the humor in life’s little jokes.

The best way to help maintain the balance of the Sacral Chakra is through dancing. The energy you build up by dancing and moving your hips stimulates and revives the Sacral Chakra. Using scents like Gardenia, Rose or a flowered musk or the gemstone called moonstone may also help promote balance within this Chakra.

Additionally, the color orange helps maintain the balance of the Sacral Chakra. Wearing orange clothing, such as an orange belt, shows your intention that you want this Chakra to stay balanced. Drinking orange juice or eating oranges everyday helps to keep the energy flowing around this Chakra.

Questions to ask yourself to see if your Sacral Chakra is balanced.

• Do you experience a lot of problems with your reproductive system?
• Do you have frequent urinary track problems?
• Do you seem to be overly obsessive or possessive towards others?
• Are you easily agitated?
• Do you become jealous easily?

If you can answer Yes to more than 2 of these questions, your Sacral Chakra needs to be balanced.
