Continuing the journey through the chakras we are at the sacral chakra. Let’s learn how to open up the energy cycle and let the good vibes flow.
What Is The Sacral Chakra?
The second chakra, the sacral also called the svadhisthana is associated with the color orange and is located at the lower belly and inner pelvis.

The water element is all about flow, flexibility, and freedom of expression when it comes to emotions and sensuality. When this is balanced it offers direct flow, flexibility, and fun. 1
