Gemstones for the Sacral Chakra
The Sacral Chakra is the second of the seven Chakras: the energy center of feeling, creativity and joy of life. If you feel flat or blocked, or notice that pleasure and inspiration have faded into the background, this Chakra often needs attention. The gemstones for the Sacral Chakra are mainly orange and warm colored stones that help you get moving and back into flow. Below you can read what the Sacral Chakra is and which stones suit it.
What is the Sacral Chakra?
The Sacral Chakra is called Svadhisthana in Sanskrit, which roughly means "one's own dwelling place". It is located just below the navel, in the pelvis. This Chakra represents movement, change and creation: your emotions, your desires, your sexuality and your ability to enjoy. Its element is Water and its color is orange, the color of warmth and zest for life. When the energy flows well here, you feel creative, open and in touch with your feelings. The core statement of this Chakra is: I am in flow.
Sacral Chakra in and out of Balance
With a balanced Sacral Chakra you enjoy life, handle change with ease and dare to show your feelings. You are creative, playful and feel at home in your body. When the energy is out of balance, you may feel emotionally flat, inhibited or overwhelmed, find it hard to enjoy things and cling to what is familiar. An overactive Sacral Chakra can show as mood swings and a constant search for stimulation. Moving, dancing, being creative and working with warm stones help the energy flow again.
