Sacral Chakra Healing – 5 Ways To Balance The Second Chakra
Are you lacking creativity? Or perhaps feeling overly emotional? If so, you may need to do a sacral chakra healing. The sacral chakra is your second chakra which is located just below your navel and is the color orange.
This chakra has to do with pleasure and enjoyment. It is where you feel and enjoy life from. It is the area where your creativity comes from, where your sexual energy resides, and where you feel your emotions.
All of your energy systems work together. Therefore, if one becomes blocked and unbalanced it can contribute to the rest of your chakras being out of balance.
If you have sacral chakra blockages, then the chakra right beside it (the root chakra & solar plexus) will have to step up and take on some of the workload. The other chakras will have to step up to make up for the chakra that is unbalanced as the whole energy system will be thrown off.
It is important to make sure all of your chakras are balanced because they all work together in perfect harmony.
Sacral Chakra Blockage Symptoms
Physical Symptoms Include:
- Abdominal Cramps

What Does an Open & Balanced Sacral Chakra Look Like?
If this chakra is in balance you allow your creative juices to flow while enjoying the simple pleasures that life has to offer. You enjoy being in the company of others without being clingy or needy. You express your sexuality in a healthy way. Your emotions flow without getting overly emotional and without being numb to them.

Sacral Chakra Blockages – How Does it Become Unbalanced?
Your sacral chakra can become unbalanced when you suppress your emotions and don’t let them flow freely. If you are always on the go, doing a million things at once and not taking the time to rest then this can also put the sacral chakra out of balance.
If you suppress your sexual energy or have unhealthy sexual experiences this can also cause your sacral chakra to go out of balance.
Also, if one of your chakras above or below it is out of balance then your sacral chakra will make up for it by either becoming much smaller or larger (depending on what the other chakras are doing.) It compensates for the other chakras around it as well.
For example, if your root chakra is shribbled up due to fears about money then your sacral chakra will compensate by becoming much bigger. All of the chakras work in a system and function as pieces of a whole part.
Sacral Chakra Healing – How to Clear & Balance It
1. Bring More Orange into Your Life
Since this chakra is the color orange, it will help to bring it into balance by focusing on the color orange. You can look at an orange picture, wear orange clothes or paint your nails orange to remind you to focus on that color.
We always gravitate towards the colors we need more of in our lives so you might naturally be attracted to that color. By focusing on orange colors, you will help to bring your sacral chakra into alignment.
2. Eat Orange Foods
Orange foods will help to balance your sacral chakra. Include oranges, carrots, papaya, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin into your diet when doing a sacral chakra healing.
3. Let Your Feminine Energy Flow
This chakra is a feminine chakra which doesn’t mean that you have to be female to allow your feminine energy to flow. We are all made up of masculine and feminine energy. There should be a balance of both to keep things flowing smoothly in your life.
Feminine energy is all about flowing energy and allowing things to happen. It is more about being open to receiving things than going out and making them happen. Masculine energy is more about action and doing things; taking physical action to get a result.
In order to allow more feminine energy to heal your sacral chakra, you can do more creative, flowing things that move your energy around and allow things to come to you. It is always good to have energy moving; stagnant energy will not keep your chakras healthy and spinning as they should be.
You can do things such as coloring, yoga, dancing, deep breathing, baking, laughing, having fun, or anything else that allows your creativity to sore and the energy to move through you. Dancing is a perfect example. It is about allowing the energy to flow through you and things to come to you instead of chasing after them.
4. Balance Your Sacral Chakra Yourself
You can bring your sacral chakra into balance by imagining a bright ball of orange energy swirling just below your navel. Imagine this clear orange ball bringing all your energy back to you and being of the perfect size and shape. Notice if you see any muddiness or holes or anything else in this chakra.
Keep visualizing until it feels like your sacral chakra is perfectly healed and balanced. Feel free to do this several times a day for a few minutes at a time.
5. Go to An Energy Healer
If you are having trouble healing your sacral chakra yourself then you might want to check out a professional to help bring it back into balance. You are perfectly capable of doing it on your own, however a professional can offer advice that may be of benefit to you and heal it for you if you are having some difficulty doing it yourself. A Reiki healer or another type of professional will be able to help you balance your chakras.
Sacral Chakra Healing
If your sacral chakra is out of balance you can do a sacral chakra healing on yourself. It is important to do a healing on yourself if you have the symptoms above because you will feel blocked if you don’t.
Your emotions and creativity may be at a standstill and bringing your sacral chakra back into balance will help you to feel much better and alive again. Allow your creative, feminine energy to flow through you as you breathe in this orange essence and heal your sacral chakra.
