Enhancing the Sacral ( Swadihistana)

The Sacral chakra , or Dantien, is the power source of creative energy. In martial arts, it provides the place of chi energy flow for everything from kicks to a still place for meditation.This is a potent chakra. As we said in the previous blog, the chakra manages the hips, bladder and kidneys et al. In Chinese Qi qong and TCM the kidney is the source of the vital chi which is the energy inherited from your parents. This is the reserve that is used when the body is under stress.Looking at the last blog, we introduced the sacral chakra and if you found yourself attracted to all that information, this may be your favorite or most used power source.Are you emotional , enthusiastic? Are you sensual? Is your idea of an ideal vacation to spend time in nature as along as there is a spa around? Do you go ‘camping’ at one of the fine state park hotels?Then this might be your chakra energy source.How to enhance and replenish it?Again we go back to our tried and true enhancements: color, gem energy, scent and affirming meditation. OF course, going to an energy healer such as a reiki master or an acupuncturist is very helpful and healing. For those who are still looking for these masters or just don’t have the time to fit in a healing session, here are some ways of enhancing the chakra.This chakra’s color is orange, so wear this as a power color ( it is quite in vogue) .Use the scents of ylang-ylang, gardenia and sandalwood. Use perfume , candles or the flowers themselves to enhance and inspire that chakra.Jewelry and gem stones should contain orange such as orange carnelian, orange coral. Gold enhances the chakra while the moonstone cleanse.This element is water so emotion is the element while taste is the sense. The affirmation would be “ I Feel.” ( no surprise). You could use the affirmation like , “ I FEEL an enthusiasm in my relationship” , ‘ I FEEL desirous and in touch with my creative centers”, “ I FEEL my sexuality is in tune with my Higher Natural Elements”, or “ I FEEL pretty”.
