The second Chakra is called Svadhisthana, or the second Sacral. This Chakra is an even number, which means that it concerns the feminine openness to love. The colors are orange and brown, and the element is water. Svadhisthana is located in the lower back; the Yantra symbol is a blue crescent moon surrounded by six red petals and water encircling the earth. Characteristics of the second Sacral are relationships, creativity, and the ways in which we relate to others. When one has an unbalanced Chakra, one will experience sexual problems, and fears of intimacy and change. Guilt will become an overriding theme, and one will find very little time for enjoyment and pleasure. When one has a balanced second Sacral, one will have confidence, friendliness, and the ability to truly enjoy without an overriding feeling of guilt. With a balanced Chakra, one will experience strong connections to others who matter the most.
