Chakra 2: Flowing Into Your Creative Power

The Sacral Chakra is wildly misunderstood— often reduced to just sexuality or emotions. But it’s so much more than that. We wanted a place where creativity, sensuality, and emotional fluidity are treated as sacred forces. So we created this guide to the Sacral Chakra to help you rediscover your flow, your pleasure, and your power to feel fully. It’s time to come back to your centre of sweetness and creation.

"Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things." – Lao Tzu, The Tao Te Ching

Chakra Two: Svadhisthana (Sacral / Sexual / Spleen)

• Element: Water
• Color: Orange
• Power: Co-Creativity & Emotional Flow

The Svadhisthana Chakra resides in the upper pelvic area at the base of your lumbar spine, halfway between the navel and pubic bone. In Sanskrit, it translates to “dwelling place of the Self.” This is your sacred space of sensuality, desire, creativity, and pleasure.

Water is its guiding element—fluid, cleansing, and full of life. This chakra teaches you how to flow around life’s obstacles while maintaining personal integrity and emotional expression.

Your Seat of Chi or Dantien. Your creative life force resides here—fueling vitality, physical energy, and your ability to stand tall in your truth.

What the Sacral Chakra Governs

The Second Chakra is the realm of:

• Beauty and sensuality
• Relationships and intimacy
• Creative expression and fertility
• Sexuality and purification
• Joyful embodiment and healthy boundaries

In balance, you trust the natural flow of life. You receive and give love effortlessly, feel connected and calm in your body, and experience emotional and creative vitality.

Out of balance? You may struggle with guilt, control issues, lack of intimacy, or being stuck in purely physical expressions of self.
