This name is derived from two Sanskrit words: <em>Swa<\/em> (one\u2019s own) and <em>Adhisthana<\/em> (place of residence or registered office). <em>Svadhisthana<\/em> betekent dan ook letterlijk: \u2018zijn eigen verblijfplaats\u2019. In het Sanskriet heeft het woord \u2018swad\u2019 bovendien de betekenis van \u2018genieten&#8217;, wat mooi aansluit bij de betekenis van dit chakra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sacral chakra represents emotions, creativity, sexuality and the joy of life. Whilst the first chakra is about grounding and stability, this chakra is all about flow, feeling and letting go. It is closely linked to feelings of joy, sensuality, desires and pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This chakra is linked to the gonads, reproductive organs, sacrum, pelvic region, uterus, kidneys, bladder, circulatory system and the body\u2019s fluid balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Balance and imbalance<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2295 A well-functioning sacral chakra indicates a healthy relationship with emotions and sexuality. You feel full of vitality, lively and sensual. You do not suppress your feelings, but dare to express them. You also experience a zest for life, self-confidence and a natural attraction to others. Creativity and spontaneity can also flow freely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2296 An imbalanced sacral chakra is often linked to unresolved emotional experiences from the past. Physically, this can manifest as lower back pain, kidney or bladder problems, joint problems, anaemia or an imbalance in blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy flows less freely, which can lead to feelings of listlessness, emotional numbness or physical stiffness. You have little desire to move or to feel. Sexuality can be fraught with shame, anxiety or avoidance.<br>An overactive chakra manifests itself precisely as an excess of sexual energy, which can lead to sexual obsession, addictions or dependent behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Tips!<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Get your pelvic area moving! <\/em>You can do this through yoga poses, dancing and swimming in natural waters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Start the day with a visualisation. <br><\/em>Sit or lie down, close your eyes and focus your attention on your lower abdomen, just below your navel.<br>Imagine an orange, pulsating sphere of light that slowly begins to spin.<br>Imagine that this sphere is spreading warm, flowing water through your lower abdomen and hip area.<br>Gently repeat an affirmation, such as:<br><em>\u201cI allow myself to feel, to enjoy myself and to be free.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Say or write affirmations that resonate with this chakra:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cI\u2019m creative and full of life.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI embrace my sensuality and enjoy life.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI let my emotions flow freely.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cI deserve fun, pleasure and connection.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Additional tips<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use crystals that support the chakra. Wear them as <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/products\/jewellery\/health-pendants\">pendant<\/a> or save a <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/products\/crystals\/cuddly-stones\">cuddle stone<\/a> in your trouser pocket. Good stones for the sacral chakra are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/products\/crystals\/a-to-z\/carnelian\">Carnelian<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/products\/crystals\/a-to-z\/citrine\">Citrine<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/products\/crystals\/a-to-z\/calcite\">Orange Calcite<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/products\/crystals\/a-to-z\/moonstone\">Moonstone<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/products\/crystals\/a-to-z\/amber-2\">Amber<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use scents that support the sacral chakra. Think of the <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/sacrum-chakra\">Sacral Chakra<\/a> fragrance frequency or the single essential oils <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/orange-oil\">Orange<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/ylang-ylang-oil\">Ylang Ylang<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/sandalwood-west-oil\">Sandalwood<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/patchouli-oil\">Patchouli<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/degroenelinde.nl\/en\/product\/rose-10-oil\">Roos<\/a>, all of which are sensual and relaxing. Mix the essential oil with a carrier oil and use it to massage the lower abdomen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Orange, the colour of the sacral chakra<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each chakra is associated with a specific colour; for the Sacral Chakra, this is orange. This colour symbolises vitality, energy, joy, passion and fervour. It also represents sensuality and sexuality. If you notice that the energy in this chakra isn\u2019t flowing properly, you can consciously use this colour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Eat more orange-coloured foods, such as carrots, orange peppers or orange citrus fruits. Also make sure you eat foods that are rich in water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wear orange clothing or underwear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sit on an orange mat or cushion whilst doing your exercises.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Paint a wall orange \u2013 this brings warmth, healing and a sense of well-being.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud835\ude7b\ud835\ude92\ud835\ude8e\ud835\ude8f\ud835\ude9c \ud835\ude81\ud835\ude8e\ud835\ude8b\ud835\ude8e\ud835\ude8c\ud835\ude8c\ud835\ude8a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zoals je in het eerste blog over de chakra&#8217;s hebt kunnen lezen, zijn chakra\u2019s draaiende energie\u2018wielen\u2019 in ons energetisch lichaam.
