In direct contrast with the root chakra, which is located at the base of the spine and is associated with survival, the sacral chakra, located just below the navel, is centered around emotional and creative energy, per Conscious Items. Additionally, the sacral chakra houses your sexual energy. "This chakra houses our emotions, passions, and pleasures -– the things that emotionally satiate us and give us joy and is considered the creative and sexual energy center of the body," Ambi Kavanagh, a reiki healer, astrologer, and author, told Well + Good. You will likely be able to tell that your sacral chakra is blocked when you experience emotional instability, a lack of creativity, low libido, fertility issues, or various addictions.
Since the sacral chakra is connected to water, opening this particular chakra can be done by participating in activities that take place in water, like taking a bath or swimming. Additionally, given the fact that the sacral chakra also governs our creativity, embarking upon a creative project that involves painting, drawing, dancing, or singing can also open it, per Conscious Items. You can align your body and open the sacral chakra by doing hip-opening movements through dancing and different yoga asanas or poses that specifically stretch and open the hips, according to Well + Good. Carrying around amber, coral, orange calcite, citrine, orange aventurine, carnelian, and hematite crystals can also provide some healing powers for your sacral chakra.
