The sacral chakra was a difficult one for me and even today I feel resistance when I work with it. Some days it cooperates and my practice flows smoothly and other days it gets a little stubborn. On those days, I would hold a firmer intention behind clearing and balancing it. It’s like the spring of a faulty pen. You wiggle and move it until it finally holds its place and the moment you click the pen to do its job it springs off to the side again and you’re left having to perform pen surgery in the middle of your task.
All I can do really is giggle at the stubbornness of my sacral, which essentially is just connected to the mind, conscious, subconscious, and unconscious ( basically the mind fighting the mind – more on this in a later post).
Working with my Sacral
When I work with my sacral chakra I usually do so through visualisation meditations, breathing either the colour orange into it or breathing a high vibrational bright white light into it. When it’s ready to receive that energy it’ll absorb effortlessly into my chakra through my inhalation, and during my exhalation it’ll expand outward from the chakra around my body and sometimes around the room.
When it’s less receptive I’ll inhale that light and when I exhale, the energy will be sent right back up and out of my nasal passage again. When this happens I generally put more effort into pushing the energy back down into my sacral and expanding it out of my lower belly. Doing this a few times eventually gets it flowing more naturally.
Other ways that I work with my sacral chakra are through the use of sound healing like Solfeggio Frequencies, Binaural Beats, Tibetan Singing Bowls at specific frequencies, also occasionally through mudras and mantras as well as the use of certain yoga postures and reiki. It just depends on what I feel drawn to on that day.
Continuing to work with my sacral chakra keeps bringing my awareness back to my sexuality, my creativity, and acknowledging my emotions as well as allowing them to be without forming an attachment to them.
This chakra helps me embrace my desires, my humanness and my individuality.
