Sunday Meditation – Sacral Chakra 

The sacral chakra is the second chakra, located in the lower abdomen just below the belly button. Its element is water, its color is orange, and its Sanskrit name is Vam. The sacral chakra governs the reproductive organs, bladder, and bowels. It regulates confidence, creativity, sexuality, and issues of dependence, addiction, loneliness emotional imbalance, anger, and fear. Ailments associated with this chakra include feeling pissed off, usually at the opposite sex, blaming others, concerns with money, lack of financial support, anxiety, fear of letting go, self-criticism, self invalidation, hopelessness, and fear.

Visualization & Meditation:

Picture the orange of a risen sun emanating from just below your navel. Stir this color counterclockwise creating a cone-like vortex of orange energy. Stir faster and faster. visualize drawing white energy in through the cone as you breathe in and as you breathe out continue visualizing the vortex spinning; each breath existing inside this vortex.

Bring to the front of your mind any obstacles or discomfort associated with this chakra, in your body or your life. Repeat these phrases to yourself: I release the pattern in my consciousness that created this condition. I am willing to change. I love and approve of myself. I trust the process of life. all that I need is always taken care of. I am safe. I comfortably and easily release the old and welcome the new in my life. I acknowledge my uniqueness. I am a sensual and creative being. My senses are alive and connected. I am radiantly beautiful, healthy, and strong. I now go beyond other people’s fears and limitations. I create my life. I see myself and what I do with eyes of love. I attract only whole and nurturing relationships into my life. I embrace life with passion and feel abundant joy.

Incorporate these asanas into your practice: goddess, triangle, dancer, butterfly, cobra.
