| Balancing our Sacral Chakra
The Sacral or Genital chakra is our seat of balance. Our sexual, creative, emotional and social issues all flow from this chakra. If this chakra is out of kilter, we will experience problems in these areas. To keep it balanced we must look after all aspects of our health, and be passionate about everything we do and believe in. A healthy attitude to sex is essential to emotional and physical well being. Take pleasure in everything do. Stimulate your senses by wearing beautiful clothes, perfume and jewellery. Listen to beautiful music - take up dance or yoga to explore the flow and movement of your body - dance your Sacral chakra into balance -Encourage your creativity to flow in whatever form it takes - art, poetry, creative writing, cookery, knitting, sewing, crafts, childcare or homemaking. Water is the Sacral chakra's controlling element. Encourage your inner flow b experiencing water. If you live in West Dunbartonshire, visit Balloch Country Park, and walk through the Fairy Glen at the very top of the park. This is a magical downhill journey along a peaty, tumbling burn as it splashes its way over mossy rocks and through fern filled banks, overhung by ancient, gnarled trees covered in beautiful silver and yellow lichens. At the bottom of hill, the burn empties into Loch Lomond, and you are treated to a glorious view over the loch to the hills and mountains beyond. A perfect walking meditation to balance and recharge your Sacral chakra. If you live elswhere, walk along the banks of a stream or lake, or walk by the ocean. The Sacral chakra is sensitive to the moon as the moon governs the tides. How does the pull of the moon affect you and the tide of your emotions? Do you feel different at different cycles of the moon. Does the full moon affect you? Do you dream about water? Write these observations in your journal. Focus on moon energies and listen to your dreams. The Sacral chakra vibrates with the colour orange. Wear clothes with a touch of orange or tangerine, and wear amber jewellery. Eat fruit and vegetables with orange flesh; oranges, tangerines, apricots, sweet potatoes and mangoes. Grow orange flowers in your garden. Water is a precious resource. It's something we take for granted, surrounded by lush, green countryside and beautiful lochs and rivers. For huge tracts of the planet, water is an ever diminishing resource, it's scarcity a matter of life and death. Treat water with respect and never waste it. Be thankful that we have it in plentiful supply. Meditation This short meditation should help you to balance your Sacral Chakra. Once again, take the phone off the hook, and tell family and friends not to disturb you for half an hour or so. Place some oranges in a bowl and light an orange scented candle. Scatter some citrine and amber crystals on the table. Put on some gentle, water related music ( try the beautiful 'Aquaria' by Diane Arkenstone - www.neopcifica.com), and make yourself comfortable, lying down or sitting with your spine gently erect. Close your eyes and begin to focus on your breath. Imagine a beam of light shining onto your Crown chakra, and as you take a deep breath in, your Crown chakra begins to open, and with each in breath it opens a little further, until it is fully open, and the beam of light floods your Crown chakra with beautiful golden light. As you continue to breathe, this golden light makes it way down through your chakras, deepening in colour as it fills each chakra....first the Third Eye or Brow chakra... the light deepens to a yellow gold....breathing into the Throat chakra...a deeper shade of yellow....flooding into the Heart chakra....deeper, darker, yellow...into the Solar Plexus where yellow is welcomed as the vibrational colour, and burnished to an even deeper, golden colour, and finally, as you breathe the light into your Sacral chakra it turns into a deep orange as your Sacral chakra opens to this colour like a flower opening to the sun. And as you breathe into this chakra, begin to focus on your out breath, and with each out breath, breathe out any thoughts about your sexuality you don't want or need. Breathe in, breathe out any feelings that tell you you are not creative. Breathe in, breathe out any resentments and grief you may be holding from old, dead relationships. You no longer need them. You have moved on. Breathe in, breathe out all thoughts, feelings and emotions that Stifle and inhibit you. Breathe in...breathe out...Tell yourself, 'I am confident about my sexuality and my creative abilities. I am well balanced, centred and whole, and my life flows in creative peace and harmony.' Meditate further on this affirmation for a while, and when you are ready (when the music finishes is a good time), bring yourself gently back to normal waking reality, stretch and have something nourishing to eat and drink. Blessed be. |
