Once our root chakra is open and we feel assured in our safety and physical health, we can begin to take pleasure in life and seek out the things we enjoy. This is where the sacral chakra comes in.
Known as ‘Svadhisthana’, which translates to ‘one’s own abode’, the sacral chakra is associated with being a feeling of being in one’s element.
When this chakra is balanced, we can expect our relationships – both with others and with ourselves – to feel healthy and harmonious, and interacting with the rest of the world can bring us happiness.
Balancing the sacral chakra also helps to inspire creativity and enhances our powers of self-expression.
An open and aligned sacral chakra leaves us feeling nurtured, creatively fulfilled, and in harmony with those around us.
When the sacral chakra is blocked we may feel a pain in the lower back or experience problems in our bladder or kidneys such as a UTI.
Sexual complications are also said to be linked to a blocked sacral chakra, and can manifest as painful sex, impotence, and reproductive issues.
Emotionally, a blocked sacral chakra may lead to ‘writer’s block’ or other creative frustration, as well as a drop in self-worth.
Mandarin - Known for its stress-relieving properties, mandarin is a great oil for boosting self-worth and inspiring a positive mindset.
It is said to encourage joyful feelings and is traditionally associated with prosperity, allowing artistic expression unencumbered by stress and self-doubt.
Patchouli - Often associated with the lower chakras due to its ability to draw energy down through the body, patchouli is a grounding oil that helps to connect us to our surroundings.
It is known to lift low moods and promote a feeling of self-belief. The indulgent and complex scent of patchouli oil can also help to inspire creativity.
Ylang Ylang - Ylang ylang oil is a popular mood-booster that has been used to fight unproductive emotions such as anger, jealousy, and low self-esteem.
A natural energiser, it also helps to increase libido and encourage sexual confidence.
