My Sacral Chakra Notes:

Healing Handbook pages 47-51:

• two openings, front and back
• located just below the navel
• called the “sacred chakra”
• all about your emotions, sensuality, sexuality, and how you enjoy sharing sexual intimacy
• hot-bed of emotion and needs to be treated with sensitivity and respect
• sexual act, in its complete form, signifies a unity and a divine coming together spiritually
• the means thru which one can let go of one’s ego and fuse with something far greater and more meaningful
• can benefit from healing in this area and by looking deeper into the power of letting go of your own ego and fusing with others on a deeper, more spiritual level
• relates to your own emotional relationships with people and your enjoyment of them
• also relates to sensuality, the appreciation of sexual beauty, not just the act itself
• related to reproductive system gonads (ovaries/testes)
• affects immune system
• “I feel emotionally”
• orange
• *Remember:  must be handled with particular compassion and awareness
