Originating from Indian spiritual tradition, a chakra refers to the energy centers that are within your body. It is believed there are seven main chakras, and they are all positioned in different areas.
Each chakra is said to govern different bodily functions, as well as various aspects of our emotional and mental states. The word “chakra” itself means “wheel” or “cycle”, and it symbolizes the spinning energy in each of these centers. This is why during meditations for chakra work we often visualize the energy spinning and moving.
In order to maintain our spiritual and emotional health, it is crucial that we balance these chakras. The sacral chakra is also known as the second chakra. It is located in the lower abdomen and is said to govern creativity, emotions and sexuality.
When this chakra is appropriately balanced, we feel an overflow of passion, positive energy, and creativity. When this chakra is out of balance, it may hinder our ability to be creative. If you feel as though your sacral chakra is blocked, positive affirmations can help with release.
Signs that your sacral chakra may be blocked
- Lack of creativity – This is the sign I am most familiar with on a personal level. If you feel as though it is difficult to be creative or innovative, your sacral chakra may be blocked.
- Low sexual desire – A decrease in sexual desire may also be a sign your sacral chakra is blocked.
- Feat of change – If you feel stuck in your current situation and are fearful of making positive changes, it could be due to an imbalance in your sacral chakra.
- Feeling detached – A blocked sacral chakra might result in you feeling a bit more detached from the world around you.
Effective ways to unblock your sacral chakra
- Meditation – This is my favorite method of relaxation and the easiest way to balance your chakras. Use meditation and positive visualization. Imagine a bright, orange wheel spinning in your lower abdomen to stimulate energy flow. You can also use a guided meditation on Spotify or YouTube that is specific to the sacral chakra.
- Chakra healing stones – Use chakra healing stones, such as orange calcite or carnelian. They are known for their energy balancing properties. You don’t need to run out and buy stones. Even finding some orange rocks in nature on a hike can elevate your affirmations.
- Aromatherapy – Essential oils like jasmine and sandalwood are known for promoting sacral chakra balance.
- Yoga – Certain yoga poses are beneficial for unblocking the sacral chakra. Think of light hip stretches that also engage the lower abdomen.
- Affirmations – Using positive affirmations like the ones on this list can serve to remove blockages in your chakras.
- Creativity – The sacral chakra is the chakra of creativity. Engage in creative activities. This could be painting, drawing, or any form of creative expression that can get the juices flowing. You could also mix in some affirmations for creativity.
- Music – Listening to music can help balance your sacral chakra as well. You can listen to classical music or nature sounds to soothe and stimulate your creativity.
- Dance – Dancing is great for your sacral chakra! Play your favorite tunes and get the body moving in a comfortable space.
- Gratitude – Coupling gratitude with your affirmations makes them more powerful. I always incorporate gratitude into my daily practices and have found it dramatically increases positivity.
How these sacral chakra affirmations work
Affirmations bring positive energy into our minds and lives. Practicing them daily helps to stimulate the sacral chakra, as well as align it with our other chakras.
Affirmations can help shift our focus from negative thoughts to affirming thoughts. These positive shifts balance out our energy systems and help us connect with our true selves.
Tip: Lying or sitting in butterfly pose is a great way to release your lower body while practicing these affirmations. It’s one of my favorite positions for unblocking the sacral chakra.
Use these affirmations each day, in the morning or night. You can repeat them to yourself quietly, or you may choose to write them down in a journal or on a vision board.
