Svadhishthana

Here imagine a glowing orange light.

This is your sacral chakra, associated with creativity, emotion, pleasure, and the natural flow of life.

Picture this orange light moving like gentle water, warm, fluid, inviting.

As you breathe, imagine any tension in this part of your body beginning to soften.

What

is the Vedan name for it? So it's Svadhisthana.

Svadhisthana.

Okay.

Tell us the root chakra, too.

And to receive a higher voltage of Kundalini, of Shakti also, you have to have a strong Muladhara.

And then there is the Swadhisthana, the Manipuraka, the Anahata, the heart chakra, the Vishuti and the Ajna.

So from the Muladhara, I'm giving you a quick tour on the subtle body in order for you to understand better.

From the Muladhara to the Ajna, the 112 ways work.

Now let's move a little higher up

to the sacral chakra.

That's just a

few inches below your belly button and in towards your spine.

to transform what no longer serves, to embody what we have learned and to trust that we are capable of participating consciously in the lives we are creating.

Muladhara asks, can I be here? Svadhisthana asks, can I feel? Manipura asks, can I trust myself? Not someday.

Not when everything is perfect.

Not when I finally become the person I think I should be.

I'm your host, Kathy Scarpito.

Today's meditation is a gentle companion to our root and sacral chakra episode, an invitation to explore support, belonging, feeling, creativity, and joy.

You are welcome here exactly as you are.

There's nothing you need to fix or figure out in this moment.

I am allowed to ask for what I need.

And if it feels true for you in this moment, I am safe.

Now we begin to bring our attention toward the sacral chakra, carrying that sense of support with us.

When we're concerned about safety, food, shelter, or having enough, it can be harder to make room for pleasure and creativity.

Take another breath and let that answer come naturally.

We've also been talking about our sacral chakra.

Our sacral chakra reminds us of creativity, emotions, pleasure, movement, and flow.

Flow means we aren't always trying to control everything.

We allow ourselves to move with life, and that can be difficult, especially when we've spent years trying to plan every detail I know I have.

Hi everybody, welcome and thank you for joining me.

So continuing our chakra series tonight, we're going to look at the second most important chakra, which is called the sacral chakra.

And let me just pull up my slides here.

So we can see.

The chakra system is basically a system of energy that runs up pretty much through the spine.

And each of those points marked on that diagram are responsible for different parts of our physiology and our human experience.

So the first night we looked at the root chakra and then tonight we're going to look at the sacral chakra.

So the location of that one is about two inches below your belly button.

Two, about two finger, two and a half, two to two and a half finger spaces up, right? That you call, you know, like, uh, you know, up just to where the, the cervix is, is the...

So it will correspond to closer to the second chakra, the sacral chakra, uh, or Swadhisthana chakra, or the chakra, uh, uh, responsible for creativity, music, arts, love, romance, you know.

That's why women are so...

You know, like they have the chick flicks, right? And they want to...
