ABOUT THE 2nd CHAKRA

  • We began our journey through the chakras last week by going down into the element of earth, with an emphasis on solidity, stillness, stability, focus and form.

  • We gained an understanding of our bodies, our grounding, we learned about tribe and unity and we dealt with our own fear and survival.

    Today we move from the first chakra element of earth to the second chakra element of water, where solid bcms liquid, stillness bcms movement and form becomes formless. Water likes to move, and water follows the path of least resistance. Where the first chakra wants to hold on and create structure, the 2nd chakra’s purpose is to let go and create flow. Flow allows one thing to connect energetically with another.

In the sacral we expanded our instincts from our own survival to the desire for pleasure, nurturance and the need to reach out to others (relationships) and expand…the need for movement and change.

THE 2nd CHAKRA: The 2nd/Sacral Chakra is Svadhishthana

This chakra is the vortex of change, emotion, pleasure and movement.. It offers emotional connection, creativity, honoring relationships, learning to “let go”, healthy boundaries, intimacy, flow, and the ability to receive. It is our center of passion, creativity and abundance. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. It is Yin energy and

energy of the feminine. The energy of receiving and abundance.

How many of you would like more abundance? In order to have abundance you need to learn to receive.

I have a client Joanna that did a previous beginning course with me. She had a lot of money issues. She identified this pattern around money in the beginning course and of course part of it was in root chakra. Things started to shift for her by just having awareness around this pattern but…it wasn’t until she actually took the advanced class and dove into the pattern that she realized her money issue was actually not root chakra but a sacral chakra issue tied to receiving. She started to realize it wasn’t just money she wasn’t receiving but all sorts of energy. She was constantly in her masculine trying to push and force things which was exhausting. Once she realized she just needed to open up her feminine receiving energy…everything around money started to shift. It actually started to flow with ease. Many times we don’t even realize it but we have issues with receiving.

The sacral as I mentioned is feminine and learning how to open and trust and receive.

We move from Root which is survival… after we take care of survival…we want to feel good.

SURVIVAL TO PLEASURE:

After most people work, they come home and want to do something pleasurable… pleasure generally indicates the situation is safe. While Pain is an indication that something is wrong that we are being threatened.

The body is actually designed to experience pleasure. In fact, whenever we experience how we feel, we think “Do I feel good? If so, I want to keep on doing what I’m doing. Do I feel bad? Well, if so, then I want to change what I’m doing.” Right? So we’re oriented to pleasure. Pleasure to the body. Our nervous systems were designed for pleasure. Pleasure produces endorphins in the body. It’s sort of like the oil that greases the gears and makes everything flow smoothly.

Pleasure is connected our SENSUALITY… sensuality…being in the senses…
It is our senses that help us differentiate between pleasure and pain, we expand or contract, move forward or backward, react or enact. When there is pain or emptiness our senses shut down. When this happens, we restrict information entering our consciousness, and cut ourselves off from the world around us. Senses are the only means we have of experiencing connection. Senses are the gateway between our internal and external world.

The second chakra is the right to feel and have pleasure. And so, many of us feel like, “I don’t have a right to feel this way or that way.”
And when we have the rights compromised, we have what I call the demon of the chakra, which is GUILT. “Oh, I shouldn’t want that. Oh, I shouldn’t be turned on to this person. Oh, I shouldn’t be angry. Oh, I shouldn’t be so needy.. so all of these restrictions shut down the chakra. So this is the permission to feel without guilt.

CREATIVE/SEXUAL: The Sacral is also about our sexual energy…which is tied to pleasure but also to our Creativity. It is our creative life force. We don’t just birth children from here…but new

projects, thoughts, ways of being. What are we birthing into existence through our bodies with our energy? In order for our sexual and creative energy to flow we need to create healthy boundaries…containers for the water. It allows us to open and be vulnerable…and in turn create healthy relationships.

RELATIONSHIPS

The second chakra holds the energy of all relationships we encounter in our lives – the nurturing or rejection of our parents; the give and take of sibling rivalry; the devotion or betrayals of friendship; the intimacy and vulnerability of sexual attraction; and the ability to produce and nurture our own children.

If we do not learn to connect to others through emotional intimacy we remain alone, estranged or dissociated. When our early needs for intimacy and love are dismissed through abandonment, or abuse and neglect, we find it hard to trust and begin to doubt our ability to attract love or find passion and joy in life. Second chakra issues include avoidance of emotional intimacy; accepting or perpetrating abuse in relationships; sexual dysfunction; parenting problems and a lack of life energy.

If you look at your relationships, you can begin to see patterns in the type of people you are attracting and the role you play. These relationships are a reflection of what is going on within yourself. Relationships can bring up our deepest emotions…our joys, pain, fear…Emotions are a key element to the sacral.

EMOTIONS

In adulthood, most of us are operating in an emotionally detached place, or we’re operating as if today were yesterday. In either the disconnected place, or the overly emotional reactive place, we are not living in the

moment, we are not operating as an integrated whole. We are working from a previous experience, an unconscious pattern.

As babies our emotions are the first things we have inner awareness of. When we’re little, we react spontaneously: toy breaks, kid cries. We trusted our thoughts and feelings. We knew when we felt angry or sad, and we expressed these feelings naturally without thinking about whether we should or shouldn’t. We allowed ourselves to express without fear, guilt or judgment… We reacted spontaneously: Then we were told by our parents and others in society, “You shouldn’t feel that way,” “What do you mean you don’t love your mother?,” “Don’t you talk to your brother like that!” So our reactions became less spontaneous, more inevitable: As we grow, we get influenced by the shoulds and shouldn’ts. You shouldn’t feel this way. You shouldn’t cry etc… “Every time Mom calls, I feel bad.” This is a pattern.

OR we learn the manipulation of using emotions if I cry I can get this, my parents will do that. We must learn to connect to and identify to our true emotions. Blocked emotion is bound into the structure of the body. Trapped emotion in the body can cause illness. When the force behind an emotion builds up without being expressed or released, it creates an emotional excess.

The word Emotion in latin mean to move out… emotions promote the evolution of consciousness through the body. When we emote we are moving energy of the unconscious into the conscious mind. This flow of consciousness charges the body, cleanses it and heals it. It is a movement of our life force through which we activate change.

Pleasure and emotions are the root of desire. Through desire we create movement and through movement we create change. Consciousness thrives on change. and in order to create change there has to be both internal and external movement in the body. ENERGY WORK Helps to promote this.

GUIDED MEDITATION

CLOSING MEDITATION My Second chakra is clear, I feel patient, enduring, nurturing, and secure. I feel intimate with my family, friends, neighborhood, people and the planet. I feel “at home” in my body, and am able to communicate with my “self”. My emotions are balanced, and I’m able to trust my instincts and “gut feelings”. My sex life is natural and loving, and I’m able to balance both the male and female components of sexuality. I eat healthy food in the correct amount for my body’s needs, and enjoy the comfort and nurturing free of any addictive behaviors. My elimination of waste material is regular and my sex organs, bladder, and kidneys are healthy.

I release all my desires and appetites to the light. I release any fears or negative thoughts that keep me from knowing peace, harmony and balance.

All of my thoughts and emotions flow harmoniously. All of my desires are perfectly balanced.
