Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) Meditation

By George Davis


The sacral chakra connects us to others. It is related to sex and the creation of new life. It is also a center of emotions. When the sacral chakra is balanced, we set healthy boundaries around our sexuality, relationships and creative expressions.

To do so, the mediation must go deep enough to address the repressed feelings and emotions that create sexual and creativity rigidity. Behind sexual repression one often finds a lot of emotional baggage. This baggage creates energy blocks in the sacral chakra area. The chakras are spinning energy vortexes. If you think of the sacral chakra as a spinning top without a steady energy flow, it will go slower and slower, start to wobble and finally fall over.

When starting chakra meditation, many of us are in the wobbly stage, characterized by sexual and creative imbalances. Sacral chakra meditation is focused on getting the energy vortex spinning fast and steadily. When this is achieved, sexual and creative energy are used constructively and toward positive ends. Propelled by the strong energy force, you feel more confident and bring a new enthusiasm to your relationships. Importantly, pleasure is practiced with empathy and is never at the expense of another.

Mantras - The sacral chakra mantra is Vam. When you repeat it, the vibration should resonate with the heart chakra. If it does not, ensure you are in tune. It corresponds with the music note D. Music, including Chakra meditation recordings, frequency generators and singing bowls can help you access the right frequency. Yantras - Since ancient times, meditating to the vibrations of sacred geometry has been practiced to balance the chakras. A Yantra is a symbol that may link up to an astrological sign, planet, date or something else of meaning to you. The sacral chakra yantra is an eclipsed moon within a circle.

When the sacral chakra is open, you are more intimate and loving in personal and social relationships. You feel more connected to others. Negative and repressed feelings are likely to be brought into the open and dealt with. This, in turn, will help heal dysfunctions related to repression, including sexual and mental disorders. A healthy sacral chakra may shift the focus away from the lower aspects. Pleasure in life will be accompanied with meaning, purpose and feelings. A blocked chakra may result in stagnation, creatively and sexually. A cleansing of the chakra will make you more open and flexible. Once more open to change, creative blocks will dissolve and your enthusiasm for life will grow. You will be more interested in helping others develop their creativity and enjoy life. Passion and excitement will return to your life.
