Collection: Sacral Chakra
The Sacral Chakra.
Known in Sanskrit as Svadhisthana, one's own dwelling place.
The 2nd energy center. Located just below the navel.
Svadhisthana governs creativity, pleasure, sensuality, emotion, and the flow of life force through the body. When it is open and flowing, you feel creative and alive with desire. Capable of moving through the world with the fluid, generative energy of water finding its way.
In the Tantric tradition of the Sat-Chakra-Nirupana, Svadhisthana is depicted as a six-petaled lotus, luminous as the moon on water. The seat of the water element and the fluid, creative intelligence of the body.
