The Second Chakra is located in the lower abdomen, and concerns the genitalia, emotions, sexuality, fluidity, movement, nurturance, water and change. The color of this Chakra is a warm orange. It is about ‘flow’: where the emotions are being felt and accepted for what they are, where the reproductive organ fluids are flowing smoothly. the bladder and kidneys are doing their job of regulating and eliminating water and toxins. where life changes are accepted and recognized as being a part of life.
This chakra, also corresponds to the sacrum, ( sacred bone in Latin) and the sacral plexus, the nerve ganglion innervates this area. Your bladder, kidneys, reproductive organs, lower back are affected by this plexus.
Think of this chakra as one of movement of your emotions, bodily fluids, sexuality, and feeling nurtured. The Water element rules this chakra; fluids, flow, circulation, formlessness, surrendering and merging with another, movement and pleasure.
If we are not in flow, we can get stuck here. We can have bladder and kidney issues, numb to our emotions, menstrual problems, ovarian/uterine issues, frigidity, impotence, stiff lower backs, pelvic tension to name a few ailments.
Allowing yourself to feel your feelings (without judgment), and doing movement exercises such as yoga or tai chi, having intimate sex, nurturing yourself, are some ways to help in clear and release this Chakra, getting the juices flowing once again, for movement is life itself.
