The sacral chakra, also known as the Svadhishthana, is located just below the navel and is associated with the color orange. It is associated with the emotions, sensuality, and creativity. This chakra governs the connection to others and our ability to feel pleasure and joy. It also governs sexuality and reproduction. Imbalances in the sacral chakra can manifest as emotional issues, such as guilt, shame, or addiction, or physical issues such as lower back pain or reproductive problems. To balance and activate the sacral chakra, one can practice yoga postures, meditation, and visualization techniques, use certain essential oils and crystals, or engage in creative activities such as dancing or painting.
