This could be caused by an imbalance of the Sacral Chakra. Let’s go deeper to understand why. The second chakra, called the Sacral Chakra in Sanskrit Svadhistana (which means sweetness, a term related to the concept of physical and sensual happiness) is the energy center of sexuality and the joy of living, and home to the primal emotions do not mind. Among the topics are related: sexuality, creativity, energy, creative life and sensuality. And ‘situated in the lower abdomen, just below the navel, and it is represented by the water element, the symbol of mobility and flexibility, which refers to the concept of “flow of life.” The planet Venus is connected, and the verb is: I will. It is the Chakra of connection between body, emotions and mind, between the inner and outer worlds. The color is associated with is the orange one, that is the symbol of inner harmony, artistic creativity and sex, fertility, positive emotions, pleasure and success.

Orange, with its bright hues, invites us to free spontaneously ourselves from the patterns and express our emotions. A stable Sacral Chakra promotes a healthy relationship with our own sensuality passion and emotions are not repressed, but paid up. The body is consciously accepted and loved despite the flaws and weaknesses. The erotic relationship with the patner is rewarding and full of passion, and our relationships with the opposite sex are healthy, authentic and satisfying. Life in general is characterized by frequent positive experiences, prosperity, abundance and wealth.

This Chakra is related to the pleasure and leads us towards it, both from a physical and emotional point of view, therefore, helps us to make our life enjoyable and fulfilling. It ‘a real teacher who shows us the way forward towards everything that gives us joy, pleasure, contentment and satisfaction. A balanced Sacral Chakra also allows you to develop your full creative potential, and feelings such as self-confidence, love of life and charm.

A simple and effective way to tell if your second Chakra is balanced is to observe what you do every day, and especially to see how you do it. The things you do every day, such as your work, your hobbies etc … make you happy? They make you feel good? You hate what you do, you can not wait to get away and feel the need to compensate for the frustration with the physical pleasure? If during your day, while performing your normal daily activities, you feel good, motivated, enthusiastic, full of energy and motivation, it means that your Sacral Chakra is in balance. In contrast, a poorly functioning Svadhistana makes you feel a lack of self-esteem, phobias, panic, anxiety, jealousy, inability to be you.

It becomes difficult, if not impossible, to manage anger, the reactions are always instinctive, uncontrolled, always guided emotion rather than logic and balance. Malfunctioning of this chakra brings you to the need to feel more intense emotional states and is often due to severe mood swings, ranging from euphoria to depression.

There might be an exaggerated pursuit of pleasure, even and especially on a sexual level (if it were hyperfunctioning), but also a total closure towards sexuality in life, if underactive, creating a kind of anesthesia ability to feel joy not intellectual. At the physical level, this chakra governs the functioning of the testes, prostate and ovaries. Also influence bodily fluids, such as blood, lymph, semen, urine, etc..
