THE SACRAL CHAKRA

ITS PLACE AND MEANING

 

From the Sanskrit, SVADHISHTHANA, the Sacral Chakra is associated with the pelvic area just below the belly button. Originally those who practiced tantric yoga and worked with the Sacral Chakra would have visualized a subtle, spinning, metaphysical orange, six-leafed lotus flower

 

When working with the Sacral Chakra, you should remember that the practice is primarily one of visualization and the purpose is to bring you closer to the divine: for the kundalini, the energy of creation, to rise up through all of the chakras until it meets the divine

 

 To facilitate visualization and activation of the Sacral Chakra, it has been associated with colors, elements, organs, crystals, archangels, positive human values and foods. These connections should be recognized as channels that we can use to help us release the energy and to bring us closer to our connection with the divine

 

It is common to associate the color orange and the element of water with the Sacral Chakra

The mantra, VAM being the seed-mantra of the water element is usually used when invoking the Sacral Chakra. However,there is no reason to only use the energies of VAM. Should you feel too fluid or fail to visualize the kundalini rising-up through the Sacral Chakra, there is every reason to work with the seed-mantra for the other elements, earth (LAM),fire (RAM), wind (YAM) and space (HAM)
