Do you ever feel like the joy in your life has gone out? Like you\u2019re living a Groundhog Day existence? Today feels the same as yesterday, and the same as the day before that? Yah, me too. It\u2019s a terrible and depressive way to live. You\u2019re not alone. Many people are feeling like that these days. The last 3 years as we\u2019ve grappled with covid, lived through a global pandemic, and spent so much time in isolation means that it has been easy to feel low. It can feel like you\u2019ve lost your spark, or your joy for living. This can be an indicator that your sacral energy has gone offline.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sacral Chakra governs sensuality, sexuality<\/a>, and pleasure. It is the base of the Kundalini, where our creative potential lies.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a way to tap into your creativity this year, to bring your inner artist out from its hiding place, the sacral chakra is the energy center to focus on.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Balanced Sacral Chakra (Svadisthana)<\/h3>\n

When the sacral chakra is healthy, you are able to source your own energy for creativity, movement, procreation, desire, pleasure, and relationships. You\u2019re better able to express what you want and need, not only in intimate relationships, but in all relationships. In healthy balance this chakra helps you move out of survival, and into prioritizing pleasure in your days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Second Chakra Misalignment<\/h3>\n

When the sacral chakra is out of alignment, you may experience any of the following: chronic lower back pain, ovarian cysts, or other reproductive issues, impotence, challenges with the bladder, pelvic floor, and kidneys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blocked chakras can also greatly affect the quality of our mind and thoughts. Mentally, this can manifest as: Difficulty in expressing our emotions, and needs, getting lost in sexual fantasy, or lack of interest in sex all together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our bodies are amazingly intelligent and precise in the way that they signal to us when we are out of balance. <\/span>I remember in my early 20\u2019s being in a very tumultuous relationship. I was obsessed with this guy, and let\u2019s just say we were oversexed and very dramatic in all the ways! I kept getting hip pain and ovarian cysts. When I read about the deeper meaning of these things, I realized I wasn\u2019t in a healthy relationship. I didn\u2019t feel the sacredness of sex or my body in any way. The guy kept changing his mind about whether we were in a monogamous relationship or not. It was truly chaotic, and causing stress for both my body and mind. <\/span><\/p>\n

I ended the relationship, and wasn\u2019t surprised that very shortly after, the pain and cysts dissolved on their own. \u201cAhh\u2026\u201d I thought, \u201cmy body can come back into alignment now.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Life gives us many lessons, and if we are attuned to the sensitive signal of our Chakras that tell us where we need to get back into alignment, we can make adjustments to bring our bodies and minds back into balance.<\/span><\/p>\n
