All our beliefs
about what attracts us to others or what repells us from them emanate
from the energy circulated by this chakra. When we can rise above our
judgements based upon our beliefs, we have balanced this chakra. People
with this balance will show a sensitivity to the needs of others without
becoming too attached to them. They will be able to relate to others with
warmth and appropriately.

The
Sacral chakra is the 2nd chakra in the 7 major chakra system. This
chakric form is usually depicted with 6 petals and
its colour frequency is Orange.
Focusing
on this mandala will balance the frequency of the Sacral chakra, opening
up our creative power, and our ability to relate and feel connected
to others and the earth. |

The Sanskrit
term for the Sacral chakra, "Svadistana", means "dwelling
of the vital force".
It is where the Kundalini, the vital life-force of the body, lies
colied, ready to flow up through the higher chakras when they are
open and working harmoniously together. This is the energy centre
that gives the etheric body its power.
It is connected
to the female reproductive organs, and relates to sexual power,
and creative energy; the energy that can create and control the
human form emanates from this energy centre. It works in close harmony
with the Throat chakra; the throat
seeks to express creativity, to utilise the creative power that
is generated by the Sacral chakra. The colours orange and blue are
complementary on the colour wheel, and we can look at the complementary
colour relationships with the rest of the chakras, too.

If this chakra
becomes overactive, sexual energy can go into overdrive, and people will
express their sexuality inappropriately. They can be manipulative and
aggressive, with predatory instincts.
An underactive
Sacral chakra can cause the person to become oversensitive, emotionally
dramatic, sexually repressed, and overwhelmed by shame and guilt.
