The Swadhisthana chakra is an energy center that takes its name from two Sanskrit words “own” and “dwelling, abode.” The term is also interpreted as “the abode of the Self” and “the container of energy.” The Swadhisthana chakra is the second center from the bottom, located above the Muladhara chakra and closely connected with it.
Where is the Swadhisthana chakra located?
The Swadhisthana chakra has a bright orange hue. This energy center is depicted as a circle with six or five petals with the Sanskrit symbol “you” inscribed in the middle. A stem grows from the center of the chakra, which reflects the connection of this energy center with the six others and the cosmos. The element of the energy center is water, which symbolizes changeability and development.
The Swadhisthana chakra in women has an anatomical location - the uterus, and in men it is located just below the navel or in the sacrum area. This center is formed from 3 to 8 years. For men, this chakra is the receiving chakra, and for women, it is the giving chakra. Moreover, its orientation vector is directed towards the genetic father, and after the first sexual relationship - towards the last partner.
What is the Svadhisthana chakra responsible for?
This energy center is considered the seat of life force and is responsible for the human etheric body, as well as taste and touch. In physiology, Svadhisthana has a direct effect on all organs of the reproductive and lymphatic systems, kidneys, pancreas and intestines. It is a repository of vitality, influences the spirit of adventure, the desire to understand the world, the ability to ask deep questions and get answers to them.
The Swadhisthana chakra is often called sexual, since it is responsible for the relationship between the sexes, sexual desire and pleasure from intimacy, energy exchange between a man and a woman, and reproductive function. Also, this energy center ensures a person’s acceptance of himself, the desire to learn new things, create and create. The state of the orange chakra influences the selection of a sexual partner. Bears responsibility for self-identification in life, understanding the terms “forbidden”, “honesty”, “naturalness” and “beauty”. Therefore, the scope of its action includes all the stereotypes that a person lives by.
The Swadhisthana chakra carries not only sexual energy, but also creative energy. We owe it to her for the changes that happen in life, new ambitions and desires. This energy center helps all creative plans and ideas come true. The Swadhisthana chakra is responsible not only for the sense of taste, but also for receptivity to art, emotions, feelings beyond time and space. It allows a person to remain an individual, but at the same time be in harmony with society and the people around him.
Reasons for closing the Swadhisthana chakra
The closed Svadhisthana chakra is reflected in the physical body by various diseases: infertility, lack of sex and pleasure from it, muscle spasms, erectile dysfunction and decreased libido, constipation. Lack of balance here can cause depression, chronic fatigue and stiffness, inability to contact people, lack of self-confidence and strength.
The Swadhisthana chakra most often turns out to be closed due to the fact that the root energy center Muladhara does not function normally. In this case, the flow of energy does not penetrate the second chakra, which causes an imbalance. Other reasons why the Swadhisthana chakra is closed are the following factors:
regular violation of personal boundaries;
unforgiveness of the misdeeds of others, one’s own mistakes, resentment, suppression of emotions;
feelings of fear and resentment, anger, rage;
unbalanced diet;
shaming of expressions of feelings, sexuality, strict prohibitions on self-knowledge due to “sinfulness”;
committing abortions, taking contraceptives, wearing an intrauterine device;
lack of care for your physical body, sedentary lifestyle.
The closed Swadhisthana chakra is manifested by the loss of joy in life, the dullness and impersonality of every day. People with disharmony in this energy center cease to feel their own and others’ boundaries, often violate them, are intrusive and unceremonious. A person stops believing in himself, experiences doubts and often wonders “what’s wrong with me. Such a person is afraid to realize his talent, worries about ridicule and therefore follows someone else’s path, repeating after other talented people, but without creating anything of his own.
An imbalanced Swadhisthana chakra prevents a person from making new acquaintances, defending his opinion, expressing sexuality, and having fun. This leads to the emergence of complexes, as well as the suppression of desires, replacing them with completely different “pleasures”: drugs, cigarettes, food, sweets, alcohol, attachment to money and things.
A blocked orange energy center encourages people not to have a sexual relationship or get to know each other. But sometimes its effect is just the opposite: a person strives to enter into intimate intimacy with many partners, make lists of “trophies” - conquered and abandoned ladies and men, flaunt this to friends, and also develop a love for perversions in sex.
A person with disharmony in the second chakra experiences difficulties in self-realization: he does not see ways to bring his goals to life, and sometimes does not even know what he wants. An unbalanced Svadhisthana chakra leads to anxiety, despair, anger, rage, and a guilt complex. Problems in this energy center can cause the development of certain diseases of the kidneys, intestines, genitals and reproductive system, pancreas and spleen. An imbalance in the Swadhisthana chakra can provoke the development of prostatitis, fungal diseases, cystitis, ailments of the lumbar spine, diseases of the lymphatic and circulatory systems.
Opening the Swadhisthana chakra
If the Swadhisthana chakra is in an open and harmonious state, then a person notes the presence in himself of:
the desire for individuality, creative realization, and learning new things;
a subtle sense of the surrounding world and people, a sense of their boundaries;
ease of making new acquaintances;
lack of tension during communication;
lack of fear of change and expression of one’s feelings;
managing your life without falling under the influence of others.
An open Svadhisthana chakra allows a person to experience deep feelings and vivid sensations during communication, mental and physical intimacy with other people. Trouble or a life test is presented to him as another exciting adventure, a springboard to a new level of development. Any business brings a person, when his Svadhisthana chakra is open, happiness, joy, pleasure.
To open this energy center, you need to completely reconsider your lifestyle. Under no circumstances should you suppress emotions and desires, or think that you are unworthy of something. Sex shouldn't be a hasty way to calm down. Turn it into a real exchange of energies and feelings. But here it is important not to overdo it: a large number of sexual acts also lead to the Svadhisthana chakra becoming unbalanced.
To reveal it, you need to reconsider your beliefs that spoil your life and prevent you from enjoying it. But doing this on your own without an experienced specialist is difficult. The practice of opening Swadhisthana after attending a seminar or lecture will be much more productive. For example, our seminar “Development of hypersensitive perception” and “The magic of relationships” is well suited for improving the condition of all energy centers. And “The Magic of Charm and Attractiveness” will help women a lot.
It is important to remember that the Svadhisthana chakra will not function normally if Muladhara is not open. Each of them plays its role, but without harmony proper operation it is impossible to achieve both. The Swadhisthana chakra will work better if you walk with a straight back and eat a balanced diet. You can use aromatherapy: oils of rosemary, ylang-ylang, sandalwood, jasmine, juniper harmonize this energy center, as do the sounds of nature, mantras, the clinking of bowls and the knocking of a shamanic tambourine.
Opening the Swadhisthana chakra: exercises and techniques
The Swadhisthana chakra can be opened through various exercises. Here are some of the most effective ones that will help even a not very experienced person work on the second energy center:
1. Working with color. The Swadhisthana chakra has an orange color that should be visualized. To facilitate the process, you can place some orange object in the visibility zone. Concentrate on it, absorb this shade, feel and enjoy it. Wrap yourself in energy - warm, giving peace and tranquility. Feel how the energy from the genitals rushes up through the root center and Svadhisthana, filling you with strength. Take a couple of deep breaths, try to concentrate the energy received within yourself, and only then complete the exercise. It is better to conduct such sessions 2-3 times a day.
2. Massage and self-massage. Any tactile touch - stroking, tapping, rubbing, kneading - everything that brings pleasure and relaxation benefits the orange energy center. The main thing during the session is to completely calm down, think about good things and imagine how you are filled with warmth and energy.
3. Removing the lock. The Swadhisthana chakra most often turns out to be closed due to a corrosive feeling of guilt. Write down on paper situations where you felt guilty, where it seemed like you did something wrong. Forgive yourself for this, ask forgiveness from others if you caused them pain and suffering. Let go of the events and burn the paper.
4. Affirmations. Tell yourself: “Well-being, pleasure and happiness constantly come to me,” “I am open to emotions and feelings, I allow myself to accept gifts from the Universe,” “I enjoy and love,” “I trust the Universe and myself.”
The Swadhisthana chakra, developed with the help of these and other techniques, will bring the first visible changes within a few days after starting the exercises. You will feel a surge of strength and energy, increased libido and brighter sensations during intimacy, and you will stop worrying about meeting and getting to know people. Also, a balanced Svadhisthana chakra will give you happiness, joy and peace, allowing you to be in harmony with yourself and with the world around you.

Svadhisthana chakra - what it is responsible for
Svadhisthana chakra is located between the pelvic bones. Its petals occupy a position just below the navel, and the stem extends to the sacrum. Just like other chakras, it is responsible for some of the senses. These are the sense of touch and taste buds. Orange chakra corresponds to etheric body- one of the seven human bodies, each of which has a correspondence with one of. The color of Svadhisthana is orange.
In physiology, the orange chakra corresponds to the lymphatic system, kidneys, genitals and pelvis. It is often called the sacral, sexual or sacral. It has many names.
Where the sacral chakra is located, a person’s sexual energy is concentrated. However, this energy flow originates in (Muladhara). If it functions well, Swadhisthana is unlikely to malfunction. If there are problems with Muladhara, most likely, disturbances in the work of Svadhisthana will soon be noticed. Muladhara ensures reproductive function and the desire to procreate, and Swadhisthana guarantees pleasure and direct attraction to the opposite sex. But, despite this, the second chakra is also responsible for the conception of life.
One of the fundamental functions of the sexuality chakra is acceptance of yourself, other people and the relationship between you and the world. It determines how a person will perceive his sexuality and how he will feel the gender given to him at birth. With the help of Svadhisthana, he will perceive himself as a man or a woman, taking into account social norms, position in society, age and other factors. Its action influences the choice of sexual partners, awareness of sexual desire and the receipt of emotions during sexual contacts. Sexual norms, the concept of physical beauty, naturalness, forbiddenness and sinfulness - all these concepts are somehow connected with this chakra.
It is interesting that the scope of Svadhisthana also includes stereotypes- those that a person has accumulated over the years of his life, and those that are common in society without any of its influence. Sometimes it's completely different points vision.
In addition, Svadhisthana is responsible for the ability to create and create, expressing one’s individuality. We owe it to her for the life changes we achieve through curiosity and adventurism. This chakra allows the creative abilities inherent in every person to come out. The activation of energy that is necessary to bring ideas to life also occurs in it.
How to open the sexual chakra and why it is needed
The sexual chakra develops naturally aged 3 to 8 years. If the child's immediate family respects him and treats his feelings and needs with love and understanding, she will develop harmoniously. Disharmony of the sexual chakra manifests itself when a child grows up without love, and his parents behave too restrained towards each other and towards him.
Disturbances in the flow of sexual energy can also occur during adolescence - this is a time of doubt about one’s sexual attractiveness, namely adolescence similar complexes are formed. In addition, at this time the child begins to think about the differences between the female and male sexes - both at the everyday level and in relationships.
In adolescence, the role of parents in the correct formation of sexual energy is also important. The child asks questions to teachers and parents - people whom he trusts and initially does not feel embarrassed in communicating with them. The teenager’s idea of sex, as well as the ability to manage sexual energy, will depend on the behavior of the parents. The wrong line of behavior can cause a decrease in self-esteem, the appearance of complexes and phobias, fear of relationships with the opposite sex, and a misconception about the physical side of love in general.
If you are interested in how to open the sexual chakra using mantras, the corresponding mantra is YOU. You can listen to it or sing it, including to yourself. Mantras are one of the most simple ways chakra development However, there is a nuance - it is necessary to develop, and not just one or two that seem the most promising. The fact is that all chakras are connected to each other. Each of them plays its own role, but together they form a single energy structure of a person. Problems in the functioning of one chakra will inevitably affect the functioning of other energy nodes.
Another simple way to develop the second chakra of Svadhisthana is aromatherapy. It is available to everyone. You can use both oils and incense for their intended purpose. You can “consume” aromas at their place of origin, somewhere in nature or in a garden, if you have one. The aromas of rosemary, ylang-ylang, juniper, sandalwood and jasmine correspond to the sexual chakra.
Aromatherapy, working with mantras, as well as meditation and yoga techniques for developing the chakras are perfectly combined with working with stones and minerals. They also influence the development of the chakras. The sex chakra corresponds to moonstone, as well as all yellow and orange minerals. One should not underestimate yoga teachings; there are special ones in general and Swadhistans in particular.
Massage and self-massage are extremely useful in working on the opening or development of the sexual energy center. The main thing is that you have fun and distract yourself from the unpleasant emotions that have accumulated during the day. You can choose any massage technique. Bodily pleasures are extremely important for this chakra. For example, take frequent bubble baths and focus on enjoying the process.
Considered beneficial for the development of Svadhisthana and proper nutrition. This chakra seriously depends on a person’s diet. If he gives preference only to junk food, she will tend to disharmony. But this does not mean that you need to completely abandon pleasant and tasty surprises. Balance your diet, exclude what you can easily do without. Don't forget about nice looking table settings. Eat and drink mindfully, not automatically, and focus on enjoying your food and drink.
Do what brings you pleasure. Develop the ability to have fun and enjoy something. However, remember that the search for pleasure contributes to violations of the sexual chakra, and receiving it at the moment, on the contrary, stimulates its development.
How does a healthy sexual chakra manifest itself?
A person with a healthy sexual chakra is considerate of other people, respects their feelings and is interested in love and friendships. He feels like a full-fledged person. A developed second chakra makes a person curious, striving to learn something unknown, to master something that no one has ever thought of before. He always behaves naturally, without experiencing any tension when communicating.
People without sexual chakra blocks easily adapt to any changes. They know how to look for the positive in any situation. Most likely, such a person will react with curiosity and joy to changes in life. Even if they are not too positive, sooner or later changes for this person will become a kind of springboard for further achievements. He perceives any incident as an exciting adventure. Even everyday activities make him happy. If you know how to enjoy delicious food, emotions and feelings, sex or learning, your sexual chakra is in perfect order.
If the second chakra is in a healthy state, the person is a bright individual. He is not afraid of other people's opinions, he is not afraid to express his opinion and defend his ideas. Such individuals do not expect approval from others; they do what they love exclusively for themselves. Other people's attention can be a pleasant bonus, but not the goal. This does not mean that the individual is not part of society. She harmoniously blends into her environment, not allowing herself to be broken or re-educated. In addition, a person will strive to realize his talent in such a way as to benefit society. He maintains his individuality by being part of society, caring and supporting loved ones.
People with harmonious Svadhisthana cannot be manipulated. He will always do only what he thinks is right. Such individuals respect talented mentors and are happy to immerse themselves in the learning process. However, they will not blindly obey them. At the same time, a person with healthy Svadhisthana cannot be called an egoist.
People without problems with Svadhisthana easily meet representatives of the opposite sex. They don't feel awkward or embarrassed. If the acquaintance does not end well, you can easily forget about this trouble without dwelling on it. Such a person will never use his sexual attractiveness to achieve any goal. She considers her external characteristics and charm to be suitable only for expressing the feelings she feels towards her loved one. Passion for such a person is one of the important components of happiness.
Signs of gender chakra disharmony
Problems with the sex chakra are expressed physiological level: in infertility, impotence and depression. Muscle spasms and allergic reactions are also possible. In addition, as in the case of the Muladhara chakra, chronic constipation is likely. Chronic fatigue is also quite likely, mainly due to problems in relationships with the opposite sex.
A person who would do well to learn about how to develop the sexual chakra is rarely confident in himself, those around him, and the whole world. If disharmony manifested itself in childhood, in adulthood he will not have the desire to take care of his relatives. Such individuals often become fixated only on themselves and their needs. They don't care about other people's feelings. In addition, such a person may have a tendency to unceremoniously invade the living space of others, without taking seriously the harm that he causes. People with gender chakra disorders do not feel the boundaries between their biofield and the biofield of other people.
Malfunctions of the sex chakra lead to weakness of spirit. A person is afraid of self-realization and strives to follow in the footsteps of other people, even if they turn out to be less talented than himself. He is not able to defend his point of view; such people are easy to control.
With disharmony of the sex chakra, the ability to feel and express emotions gradually disappears. Dating is a big problem for such a person. Finding sexual partners is difficult because he does not know how to express his sexuality. Unproductive attempts to improve your personal life lead to even greater problems with the sacral chakra. Complexes gradually form, negative thinking and disappointment in the opposite sex appear.
Sooner or later, sexual desires that are not satisfied will be suppressed. A person begins to replace them with other pleasures, for example, food, alcohol, attachment to money and luxury. Sometimes the opposite state of affairs occurs - violations of Swadhisthana push to numerous sexual relations without obligations and feelings. Such personalities like to brag about their exploits on the love front, compile lists of conquered ladies or gentlemen.

Following the acquisition of confidence in the future comes the great joy of being. The journey of life continues. The second chakra - Svadhisthana represents an existence full of joy. And if Muladhara, the beginning of beginnings, represents perseverance and confidence, then Svadhisthana is the next stage: receiving material, earthly pleasures.
To be light and pliable, flexible and fluid, like a stream of water that gently warms with its warm waters, and smoothly skirting all obstacles on its way - here philosophy and essence of the second chakra. This energy center also has a second name - jalamandala, which comes from the Sanskrit word "jala" - which means "water".
Warm orange color warms the soul and makes you smile. The activity of the second chakra encourages a person to seek pleasure in everything: the material world seems to be a platform for one big game, whose name is life. And along this entire stretch of the path, your companion will be an orange six-pointed lotus - the womb for the creative unconscious - a white crescent, which in Hinduism is a symbol of Varuna, the Vedic deity of the world's waters.
The well-known organic mineral amber- is the embodiment of Swadhisthana. Literally emerging from the water, sometimes called a “tear of the sea,” this stone contains the energy of the creative center. It is believed that amber has magical property cleanse the soul and body, just as water washes away all the bad things from a person. By harmonizing with the energy of the second chakra, this mineral will also help increase the creative power of the wearer and sharpen life intuition.
Svadhisthana is located in the human body slightly below the navel, near the genitals. Physiologically, the second chakra is responsible for sexual energy and sensual pleasures, as well as for the metabolism of substances and fluids in the body. Diseases of the genitourinary system, reproductive or hormonal changes are the result of any problems in this chakra.
Svadhisthana chakra: information about the work of the chakra.
One of the main functions of the chakra is awareness of another person. If svadhisthana is harmonized, its owner is attentive to people, he respects people’s feelings, looks closely at them. This becomes possible due to the fact that he feels like a complete independent person. As a rule, chakra harmonization is established in early childhood. If parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts love the child, respect his feelings and thoughts, no problems arise. But if a child grows up without love and affection, the chakra malfunctions. In this case, an adult does not want to take care of his family, he is completely fixated on himself, on what is happening inside him. He doesn't care about people's feelings. Often such a person does not feel the difference between the boundaries of his biofield and other people's biofields. Therefore, he shamelessly invades the lives of other people, inflicting mental wounds on them.
All sexual pleasures are concentrated in the second chakra. These feelings should not be confused with the instinct of procreation, for which the first chakra is responsible. We are talking about sexual desire and receiving true pleasure. It is from the sacral chakra that our perception of sexuality in general depends, how we relate to the gender given to us at birth. Swadhisthana helps us evaluate ourselves as men and women, taking into account social norms, age and more. Submitting to the action of the sexual chakra, we become aware of sexual desire, choose partners for ourselves, and receive a wide variety of emotions during sex. The second chakra is one of the most interesting.
On the one hand, it contains those stereotypes that have developed in us over the years, on the other hand, it absorbs the stereotypes common in society. And often these are two opposing points of view. Already in early childhood, each of us begins to absorb sexual norms. We learn what sensuality, naturalness, physical beauty, forbiddenness and sinfulness are. In addition, we begin to distinguish how a man differs from a woman in terms of sexual activity.
The second chakra is where a person’s ability to create arises., create something new, express your bright individuality. It also brings changes into our lives - through curiosity and adventurism. Thanks to the second chakra, each of us remains a curious child throughout our lives, asking a lot of questions, reaching out to the unknown, trying to master the hitherto unknown.
And of course, svadhisthana is responsible for reproductive functions. With its help it is born new life, comes into being little man. Despite the fact that he doesn’t know how to do anything yet, he is already a complete person. Half of him consists of what his parents passed on to him on the genetic and spiritual levels, and half is a bright personality that will reveal itself a little later.
Sex chakra helps the creative abilities inherent in a person to come out and develop. It is responsible for activating inner strength and allows you to turn seemingly the most fantastic ideas into reality. The easiest way to see the effect of svadhisthana is on a small child. Initially, the initial potential is taken, from which nothing may come of it - this is an egg and a sperm. Thanks to the action of the chakra in the womb of a woman, an embryo develops from this potential. After nine months he becomes a real person and comes out.
What is inner strength expressed in? The fact that we can calmly express our individuality and potential, without fear of how the people around us will react to it, without expecting approval from them. We simply realize our talent as we see fit.
Often people become dependent on the opinions of society. They are afraid that they may be ridiculed and refused to communicate with them. But a person endowed with inner strength will never allow himself to be manipulated. He remains an individual under any circumstances and does not bring his talent to the slaughter of society.
A person with a developed sexual chakra respects wise mentors, takes pleasure in experience, and learns from more talented people. But at the same time, he will never blindly obey his teachers and bow before them. He will be able to preserve his talent and will not give up on it, even if the whole world opposes it.
A malfunction in the sexual chakra leads to a person becoming weak in spirit. He cannot defend his point of view, tries to follow other (even less talented) people, and is afraid of self-realization.
By the way, it would not be entirely correct to assume that every person with a healthy chakra is opposed to society. He flows into it and is part of it. But, unlike weak people, he does not allow this society to break him or convince him. Such a person realizes himself as he sees fit - for the benefit of society. He tries to make life easier for the people around him, to make sure that peace and tranquility come to their homes.
The originality of the sexual chakra lies in the fact that it seems to consist of two opposite directions. On the one hand, svadhisthana personifies the desire to preserve individuality, on the other hand, the desire to be part of society. But it seems so from a superficial approach. If you dig deeper, you can understand that our whole life consists of precisely such contradictions. Each person is a whole person. However, it is part of the Universe around us.
The second chakra is also responsible for honesty. How is this quality expressed? In complete freedom from all fears. If the chakra is healthy, a person is not afraid to conduct an internal dialogue with himself. Imbalance leads to uncertainty in the Universe. As a result, people move away from their inner self. They prefer to close their eyes to many things, live in dreams and illusions, deceiving themselves every minute.
Fears and anxieties appear then when a person does not feel love from the Universe. He is not sure of the future, does not feel like a child of heaven and earth. That is why he cannot be honest even to himself. Such a person is very afraid of offending people, hurting them, or expressing his opinion. If a person feels inner strength, he is confident that no one will harm his soul, honesty and sincerity will always be fundamental in his life.
Disturbances in the second chakra.
Problems at the energy level of Svadhisthana There are two types: stagnation and imbalance. In the first case, it is easy to draw an analogy with a swamp - the energy is stagnant and does not move, something is holding back the flows and preventing new movement. This clamp is often a feeling of guilt - it is precisely this that blocks cheerfulness and openness.
Manifestation of excessive seriousness, dryness, lack of interest in life, impotence, pain in the lower abdomen and creative failure - all these are symptoms of stagnation. Another destructive emotion – jealousy – can also be a pressure and a reason for stagnation. This leads to a state of obsession, stagnation of thoughts and emotions on one person, dependence on him and eventually slowly destroys the relationship.
The second type of violation is imbalance, is fraught with no less serious consequences. This is a state of manic excitability and excessive focus on pleasure and hedonism. A person experiences a constant need to search for ever greater sources of pleasure and is not abstinent in sex, food, alcohol and drugs. The apparent euphoria is followed by a loss of strength, because maintaining excess requires a large number of chakra energy.
Chakra malfunction, as a rule, originates from any unpleasant situations that happen at the time of its formation or during the period of puberty. At this time, a person is not sure of his personal sexual attractiveness. He often engages in self-analysis, tries to understand who he is, why he was born a boy or a girl, and learns the differences between the sexes both in sex and at the everyday level.
This is the period of birth of new sexual energies. The man is rushing about, not understanding what is happening. He turns to teachers and parents with questions, but, alas, they often do not know how to answer the questions he has, how to teach him how to manage sexual energy. Often all this ends in the emergence of unhealthy ideas about sex. A person begins to be ashamed of expressing feelings, considers them harmful both for himself and for others, and is afraid to express sexual energy. As a result, there is a severe suppression of sensitivity, lowering self-esteem.
The situation can be complicated by society. A particularly striking negative comes from growing up in a conservative society, where sexuality stands alongside such concepts as “prohibition” and “sin.” In such societies show your sexuality- means committing a crime for which retribution will inevitably come. It is clear that a person does not want to be punished, so he begins to suppress his sexual energy. As a result, not only sexual desire disappears, but also the feeling of joy from every day lived.
If suppression continues for a long time, the ability to sincerely feel and express oneself is destroyed. It becomes extremely difficult for a person to meet the opposite sex and look for sexual partners. The chakra cannot withstand such torture and fails. This leads to a joyless life, chronic fatigue, reluctance to create and create, to imbalance and serious complexes.
Let us note right away that none of the desires suppressed by a person ever goes away. In all subtle layers there is a constant conflict between the desire that has arisen and its suppression. The inability to realize what the body wants leads to dissatisfaction with life. In order to somehow compensate for what he lacks, a person at the subconscious level begins to look for substitutes for feelings. This is how attachment to money arises, the desire to eat delicious food, alcoholism, promiscuity without feelings for a partner.
Unbalanced svadhistana The chakra brings a person to a constant feeling of anxiety. It becomes difficult for him to realize himself. A man does not know what his life path, how to come to him and achieve everything he wants.
It also happens that a person wants to enjoy a relationship, and this is not only about sexual relations, but also about emotional connections. But, alas, no matter what he tries, he cannot find the proper outlet for his emotions and feelings. Desperate, he refuses to build relationships, leads a secluded lifestyle, and complains that he is completely unable to start a family. At the same time, it doesn’t even occur to him that the problem is himself and the weakened sexual chakra.
Problems we face as adults, often comes from our childhood. Many of us, under the influence of harsh parents, cannot express our feelings and restrain sexual desires during puberty. If this happens, the same signal “I cannot express what I want” is constantly sent from our body to space. And then the mirror effect comes into play.
These problems can and should be dealt with. First you need to work with the subconscious. It must stop sending negative requests to the Universe. Instead, the following message should go: “I am capable of open, true relationships. I want family and love in my life.” In this case, the Universe will help you realize your desires. In addition to working with the subconscious, attention should also be paid to the sexual chakra. It needs to be harmonized and balanced.
If you suppress sexual desires(both physical and emotional levels), lovemaking will not bring proper pleasure. A person can begin to look for sexual partners only to relieve sexual desire, without feelings and attachments. Sex will turn into hasty copulation. Other rolls may also occur. For example, a stream of erotic fantasies, the inability to experience pleasure without watching erotic films. Often all this is accompanied by a guilt complex.
One thing is for sure. Unbalanced Sex Chakra leads to tension and uncertainty. This can result in ostentatious bravado, in philandering. So if you meet a man on your way who compiles a list of women fascinated by him, know that his svadhisthana chakra is greatly weakened.
If the chakra is disharmonized, a person begins to engage in lynching. Every mistake he makes is subject to careful analysis. He stays awake at night remembering how one of his actions led to problems. As a result, his life is filled with disappointment and shame for what he has done. These feelings may be temporary. But sometimes it happens that these feelings remain with a person for life. The worst thing is that he then begins to treat other people in exactly the same way, condemning them and subjecting them to criticism. One of the main signs that a person is constantly judging himself is the occurrence of kidney stones.
In order for life to become bright and rich, for the creative unconscious to awaken, it is necessary to open the Swadhistan chakra. Achieving Harmony happens gradually, but is available right here and now - allow yourself to enjoy all the delights of this life, but only those that have a beneficial effect on the body. Enjoy every day you live and every little thing, act with good intentions and enjoy the process of doing the work, and not at all the result. Staying in the present moment, you cannot help but notice the creative beauty of the world and begin to rejoice.
Svadhisthana and the physical body.
The second chakra influences on the pelvic organs, kidneys, lymph flows. Therefore, disharmony can manifest itself in diseases of one of the above organs or in disorders of entire systems. Most often, circulatory problems, muscle spasms, kidney disease, and impotence begin.
The kidneys are most dependent on the functioning of the chakra. They express feelings such as shame, self-criticism, and disappointment. Let us immediately note that each person understands in his own way what “success” and “failure” are. Each of us has our own criteria for measuring these concepts. And often these are just misconceptions that complicate our lives. What concerns criticism and self-criticism, then here again everything depends only on us. If we cannot pass by another person without criticizing him (at least mentally), then we are gnawing at ourselves. If a person accepts himself completely, he will treat others with understanding.
A person whose sexual chakra works without failure, has a different attitude towards life. He enjoys every day, does not criticize anyone, and sees life as an exciting adventure. He understands that he shouldn’t get too upset about troubles. Any trouble is just a lesson given by life to accumulate experience and correct karma. Having passed it, we will receive the next lesson, and this will happen throughout our lives.
But this does not mean that the owner of a balanced svadhisthana chakra does not experience disappointment at all and does not know what remorse is. No, he is the same person as everyone else. He simply understands that everything in this world is relative and illusory. There are no concepts of “right” and “wrong”. Every action performed by a person is needed for something. Quite possibly, this is one of life's lessons. Or maybe this is a punishment for what he did in a past life.
Exactly svadhisthana chakra is responsible for awareness ourselves as men and as women. It poses questions such as “What is it to be a man? What is it to be a woman? What is the difference between the sexes? Who has more responsibility? Who suffers more in love.” The associations that we have when considering a person of our own and the opposite sex depend on how developed the chakra is.
If a person misunderstands his purpose in the world, if he does not love himself and his body, then he will not love another person. His sexual partners will never hear words of gratitude from him. Moreover, in relation to them, a person will always have only anger and resentment. Oddly enough, these negative emotions can cause genital infections, itching, and inflammatory processes.
If a person is formed in a society in which sex is condemned, in adulthood he will begin to have problems with potency (in men) and with menstrual cycle(among women). He will want to satisfy his sexual partner, to give him the pleasure he is waiting for. But at the same time, his subconscious will whisper that this is wrong, that it is shameful to have sex.
If you balance the sexual chakra, problems will disappear on their own.
Sex, alcohol, tobacco, chocolate, drugs- all this is svadhisthana chakra, and it’s easy to get used to all this. Addiction to habit consumes a person trapped in this chakra, and the thought of pleasure drives away all other thoughts. When you are in a state conditioned by the action of this center, you strive to recreate the pleasure experienced previously. This does not lead to the fulfillment of desire, since there is no instantaneity, spontaneity.
You are turning from the present to the past.
Trying to break the habit also, as a rule, ends in nothing. The more you struggle, the stronger the desire. Accepting pleasure, being constantly aware of it, is the antidote. While enjoying, you lose your head and cease to be aware of your surroundings. A must remain fully conscious and sane during the process of satisfaction. This is completely different from simply giving up an enjoyable experience.
Giving up something means losing a part of your personality, and the longing for the lost feeling will never leave you, you will simply drive it deeper. This is, of course, better than simply giving up pleasure as if it never happened.
But concentrating on pleasure Instead of pursuing pleasure, you will leave many temptations behind thanks to the knowledge that the experience itself is no longer a foretaste of it. This awareness obviously arises from the conscious state during pleasure. Not before the feeling of pleasure and not after pleasure, but precisely during.
Chakra can be balanced by wearing crystals, aromatherapy, color therapy. It’s a good idea to use meditation and self-hypnosis in addition to these methods. Thanks to an integrated approach, even the most chronic sexual problems can be solved.
Svadhisthana chakra and lymph.
The sexual chakra has a significant influence on the activity of the lymphatic system. That, in turn, helps the body cleanse itself of waste and toxins. Through lymph flows, vital protein is delivered to the capillaries. In addition, the lymphatic system is responsible for the regeneration of blood plasma. Lymph currents permeate everything physical body, they are a network of tubes of different diameters. Lymphatic centers that distribute lymph flows are concentrated in the most important organs. Human immunity depends on the state of the lymphatic system. As soon as an unwanted virus or bacteria enters the body, the lymphatic centers retain it, preventing it from passing further into the blood.
Surely you remember from your school anatomy course that lymph is important transport system body. Therefore, if the sexual chakra, which is responsible for the lymphatic system, works perfectly, our organs and tissues receive all the necessary nutrients on time. Immunity is strengthened every day. Neither viruses nor bacteria take root in the body. So if you don’t want to constantly catch a cold, meditate and harmonize your sexual chakra. Remember that your physical health depends on it.
To stimulate this chakra, use stones red and orange shades: amber, red jasper, coral, tourmaline.
Step 3. As you imagine the sun rising, focus on the sensation of sunlight starting to emanate from that point. Inhale and exhale it with this chakra. Until you feel that at this point a small sun has lit up in you, filled with bright, masculine energy. Allow the flow of Planetary Yoga to intensify and build as you inhale and exhale from this point, which turns into a sphere. Of course, while breathing, try to “inhale” all the other described parameters (color, size, properties), and slowly begin to feel this point and the waves that it spreads outside and into your body. Feel the energy of pleasure coming from this chakra.
Svadhisthana. Exercise 1 (for women)
Step 1. Take a calm, comfortable position.
Step 2. Move your attention to a point in the body whose projection will be the sacrum.
Step 3: Imagine the Moon. Moonlight. And everything that is inherent in it, and everything that is reflected in you when you see it, at the level of sensations. Inhale and exhale it until a small moon appears inside you, at this point, as full as possible. feminine energy. Of course, in addition to this, “inhale” all the chakra properties we described. Feel the energy of pleasure that comes from the chakra. It will be soft orange, a very pleasant color. If difficulties arise with this, then simply allow the pleasure of breathing from this chakra to come.
Practice for revealing Svadhisthana.
The most effective and simplest means of revealing svadhisthana is the practice of concentrating on the area a couple of centimeters below the navel while simultaneously pronouncing the svadhisthana mantra “VAM”.
1.Sit in any comfortable position. You should not torture yourself with the lotus position if it causes discomfort or interferes with relaxation. You can just sit on a chair. It is permissible to practice in other poses as you like. However, lying down causes excessive relaxation, which reduces concentration and causes sleep. Standing, on the contrary, is a rare person who is able to relax sufficiently.
2. Place your hands so that they do not hang and distract attention. If this is too easy for you, then try holding its mudra (Shivalingam mudra) in parallel with concentration on svadhisthana.
Remember, your main task is to maintain concentration; do not perform mudra to the detriment of it, otherwise it will reduce the effectiveness of the practice.
3.Breathe with your stomach, deeply and slowly. Let go of all your problems, throw away depressing thoughts. Rest like this for five minutes.
4. Bring all your attention to the area of your body below your navel.
5.Inhale and then chant the bija mantra (you can listen to the correct pronunciation in the video meditation).
6. Feel the vibration in svadhisthana, imagine how huge streams of energy from space rush there.
We work in a cycle: inhale -> chanting the mantra “YOU” with visualization -> exhale. Concentration is always on the chakra. When pronouncing the sound “M”, the tongue should be pressed to the palate. Strive to keep your attention under control and learn to keep your mind silent. Every thought takes away your attention and reduces the quality of your concentration. As your skills develop, you will be able to concentrate even during a leisurely walk.
Use the visualization of a glowing orange ball in your lower abdomen. This will improve the effectiveness of the svadhisthana exercises, but the main thing here is concentration. Don't be distracted by this if you have a weak imagination.
SIVALINGAM MUDRA.
Make a fist with your right hand and point your thumb up. Place your right hand on the firm cup, with the fingers of your left hand clasped together. Both hands should be held at the same level as your stomach, with your elbows pointing outward and slightly forward. The right hand will be like a fist with the thumb pointing up, resting on the bowl with the left hand.
Meditation “Golden Bowl”.
I advise you to start every day with MEDITATIONS of the Golden Bowl. Try to see your heart in the form of a golden bowl in your mind's eye. Now imagine all those you love and those who love you.
Imagine the warm golden energy comes from all these people and fills your golden cup. Mentally take in all the beauty that surrounds you every day: a sunset, a child’s laughter, a magnificent painting or wonderful music.
Imagine how the energy of all this beauty flows into your cup. Go to the angelic, spiritual level of consciousness, feel how Divine love is directed towards you and fills your golden cup. Now you can go out into the world and communicate with people. I am sure that you have never been so attractive in your life!
If there are similar problems in your life and you cannot cope with them on your own, I invite you to, where after just one meeting you will clarify the reasons for your difficulties.
Good afternoon
You have already learned that the first chakra helps you gain stability, strength and confidence. Today we will talk about how, on the basis of a solid foundation, to find the joy of being and learn to enjoy life.
Familiarity with the topic “Svadhisthana chakra is responsible for what” will help us with this. In the article you will find useful information about this energy center and what areas of life it has a direct impact on and how it affects the health and general condition of a person.
See also: To begin with, I would like to note that the chakra system consists of seven elements. This is one of the oldest and simplest systems of working with energy in our lives. Muladhara, or as it is also called root, is fundamental.
There are several names for the second chakra. Svadhisthana is one of them, it is also called sacral - because of its location, orange - because of the main color and sexual, which indicates the main energy that this center controls. The power of this chakra comes from a balanced and balanced Muladhara. These energies seem to complement and multiply each other.
The second chakra is located in the pelvic area. It has shades of orange, bluish and yellow. She is depicted as a lotus flower with five or six petals, which open a couple of centimeters below the navel. A stem goes from the center towards the sacrum, symbolizing the connection with the other chakras and cosmic energy.
The main symbol of this energy center is water. This is where another name for this chakra comes from – jalamandala, which is based on the word “jala”, which means “water” in Sanskrit. It is believed that a person should be light and pliable, like a stream of water that smoothly bends around all obstacles in its path.
The cheerful orange color warms the soul and encourages the search for the pleasures of the material world. This color is believed to help preserve youth and sensuality. People whose Svadhisthana is balanced remain active longer and look much better than their age.
The overall meaning of this chakra lies in the ability to empathize and accept other people, express uniqueness, openly realize inner potential, etc.
Harmonization of the sexual chakra occurs in childhood. If a child grows up in love, respect and understanding, then in the future he will not have difficulties in this area. Otherwise, imbalances and problems appear that can appear at any age.
Svadhisthana is the center of pure emotions (both good and bad), creativity and sexual energy. Emotional condition, for which this energy center is responsible, is associated with worries about personal attachments, various losses, family relationships, learning experiences, intimate life, self-esteem, feelings of loneliness, guilt, violence and pregnancy.
Information about what the Swadhisthana chakra is responsible for is very extensive. In our society, the topic of sexuality is taboo for many. This causes many physiological, psychological and spiritual problems. Therefore, it makes sense to understand this issue in more detail. In any case, the importance of this energy is obvious.
The energy center of sexuality is responsible for:
- showing love to the opposite sex
- interest in sexual union
- spiritual, physical and mental pleasure
- pleasure seeking
- sex appeal
- energy and magnetism
- positive mood and sociability
- attitude towards money and sex
- physical energy exchange
- creative self-realization
- psychological condition
In addition, the Svadhisthana chakra is responsible for the physiological state of a person, which is manifested in its effect on the lymphatic and reproductive systems.
One of the main functions of the second energy center is awareness of another person. The norm for us is to show respect and attentiveness to the feelings and emotions of other people. This is only possible if we feel self-sufficient and independent.
These qualities are inherent in people who grew up in love and have no problems with mutual understanding. But those of us whose chakra is imbalanced most likely experienced a lack of attention and care in childhood, which led to selfishness and self-obsession in adulthood. The consequence of this was an inability to understand others, disrespect and frequent stressful situations.
Our perception of sexuality depends on Svadhisthana. It is under the influence of this chakra that awareness of belonging to a certain gender occurs and sexual behavior is subsequently modeled depending on the upbringing received and the norms accepted by the society in which we live.
It is the second energy center that is responsible for the craving for adventure and knowledge. Thanks to this chakra, we retain our childlike inquisitiveness and desire to create something new throughout our lives. Swadhisthana promotes creativity and helps to express one's individuality.
A balanced chakra helps develop the abilities inherent in us, activating internal forces, which manifest themselves in self-confidence and self-realization without regard to public opinion and gossip.
It cannot be said that a person with harmonized Svadhisthana goes against everyone. No, he respects his mentors, is a full-fledged unit of society, but does not allow himself to be broken and his talent to be ruined.
In case of imbalance of the sexual chakra, a person becomes driven. His spirit is weakened, he is subject to fears and anxieties. Without feeling his worth in this world due to lack of love and strength, a person loses confidence in the future. Such a failure is often accompanied by various diseases of the pelvic organs, kidneys, muscle spasms, etc.
Having briefly familiarized yourself with what the Svadhisthana chakra is responsible for, I hope you have realized the importance of this energy center. Remember that you cannot suppress your energy, it is fraught negative consequences. Therefore, it is so important to understand the processes occurring in us, to realize our essence and accept ourselves as we are.

Share this article with a friend:Svadhisthana (translated from Sanskrit as “own dwelling”), the second of the seven chakras, is located 3-4 centimeters below the navel.
First of all, her “work” is reflected in the sexual sphere and the sphere of creativity. In addition, she is responsible for honesty, the ability to understand others, self-confidence and inner strength.
In the zone of influence of the chakra are the genitals, gall bladder, kidneys and all body fluids. With developed Svadhisthana, a person strives for creativity and harmonious relationships. He is sexy, outgoing, confident, cheerful, loves to dance and rarely feels guilty. A woman with harmoniously developed Svadhisthana has a special magnetism, enjoys the attention of men and, as a rule, is happy in marriage. If there are malfunctions in the “work” of the chakra, the person is indiscriminate in food and partners. He is characterized by demonstrative behavior and shocking behavior, his most often the defiant one. But indulging his desires, he, as a rule, does not feel satisfied. Another “scenario” for the inharmonious functioning of the chakra is that a person withdraws into himself, becomes conservative in food and clothing, does not like increased attention, does not allow himself to relax and suppresses many desires. With a closed chakra, a person feels insecure and often criticizes his appearance. In public, he wears a mask of arrogance or pretends that everything that happens around him does not interest him. Prefers to dress discreetly: voluminous sweaters, long skirts, a minimum of bright details in clothes.
How to awaken the Swadhisthana chakra
“I’m ugly”, “I’m not given this”, “I don’t deserve this”, “I don’t need anything” - how often do we say these phrases or at least think in this way? Meanwhile, it is precisely these beliefs that gradually move us away from harmony with ourselves, destroying the Svadhisthana chakra. The chakra also suffers from the fact that we neglect rest, do not play sports, experience a lack of positive emotions and do not fully enjoy pleasant moments, do not notice them in the bustle of life. We offer you several ways that will help awaken the Svadhisthana chakra and prevent it from fading.
Food. Less meat means more plant foods in the diet. Particular preference should be given to oranges and tangerines: they are practically a “living portrait” of Svadhisthana (the chakra is symbolized by an orange circle surrounded by 5-6 lotus petals). You also need to drink more clean water, since its energy is consonant with the vibrations of the chakra.
Cloth. Wear clothes that accentuate your waist; skirts, dresses, sexy underwear - anything that can increase confidence in your own attractiveness. It’s good if you have a couple of things in orange in your wardrobe, or at least accessories of this shade. It is better to perform exercises for opening the chakra in clothes of blue and light blue tones - these are the colors of water, which means that Svadhisthana will also “like” them.
Fragrances. To reveal Svadhisthana, arrange aromatherapy sessions at least 2 times a week. Give preference to candles with the scent of ylang-ylang (it restores serenity, has a relaxing effect, calms) and sandalwood (activates sexual energy, brings the joy of creativity, develops imagination).
Exercises for every day
- Lie down, bend your knees, place your feet on the floor. Take a deep breath. As you exhale slowly, lift your pelvis as high as possible and imagine squeezing your breath between your legs. After this, return to the starting position. Do the exercise for 5 minutes.
- Sit on the floor. Take a lotus position with your palms folded in front of you and your elbows slightly apart. Inhale and exhale slowly, concentrating your attention in the navel area, where Svadhisthana is located. Imagine it warm, orange, pulsating. Do the exercise for at least 10 minutes.
- Lie on the floor, take a comfortable position, but do not bend your legs. Place your palms on your navel. Relax as much as possible and imagine that your palms are heating up and starting to emit yellow-orange light, brighter and brighter. This light turns into a pulsating ball inside your body. Try to see how this ball grows, and warmth and light fill you completely. Feel the joy of peace and strength. Do the exercise for 5 minutes. After some time, you will feel warmth, tingling, a slight burning sensation in your stomach - this means the chakra is awakening!
