Sacral Chakra Basics

Sacral Chakra Basics by Timmie Horvath (Wanechko Policarpio) - The Sacred Wellness School of Healing Arts | Edmonton Reiki Training, Crystal Healing Certification, Chakra Therapy Certification, Aromatherapy, Essential Oil Safety

What follows is a basic overview of the Sacral Chakra. The written summaries, exercise recommendations, and recommended Yoga asanas are based on my personal understanding of the chakras; my experience working with them for both personal healing and client work; and the widely accepted beliefs about the modern chakra system.

The essential oil, herbal, and crystal recommendations are suggestions only, and do not represent an exhaustive list. These recommendations were chosen because they represent a close energetic match to their particular chakras; always defer to your intuition when working energetically. Only work with herbs and essential oils if it is within your scope of practice, and if it is advised by your primary healthcare professional.

A Healthy Sacral Chakra

When your Sacral Chakra is balanced, you’re able to “go with the flow” of life. You feel happy, as well as deserving of joy and pleasurable experiences. You love your body, are comfortable in your sexuality, and have a deep sense of self-respect and personal boundaries. The Sacral Chakra also relates to money, particularly in your ability to maintain the flow of abundance – that is, your ability to both give and receive. The Sacral Chakra is also related to fluidity and flexibility, in both mind and spirit. When your Sacral Chakra is healthy, life is fun and exciting, and you are grateful to be alive.
