As you process your way through three active weeks of sacral chakra work, replenishment and assistance will help you heal to your fullest potential. This site is your healing center to return to as often as needed to gain supplemental meditations and healing concepts to support your journey.

Chakra work can be challenging. You may experience seemingly inexplicable emotional shifts, depressed moods, and even profoundly positive states of being working their way through you, throughout the week. You also may feel not much of anything. These states are normal and all a result of moving negative energy out and positive energy in while resolving complex traumas created during the domestication experienced in this and previous human incarnations. Please commit, and recommit, to the work no matter how painful it may become at times. Remember to rely on your coach to provide emotional support through video messages and chats whenever possible, when needed.

The benefits of resolving these negative, stuck rules, beliefs, and energies can be profound. Undoing these programs running within you now means creating the opportunity for a better future aligned with your soul’s greatest purposes manifest. So strap in, hold on, and enjoy the ride!

HARNESSING YOUR CHAKRA POWER

There are a number of different methods we can use at home to help heal our chakras, including visualizations and meditations, changing old habits, practicing yoga, using crystals and essential oils, and getting the most out of our food. Because different people feel drawn to different healing techniques, a range of methods are offered here. We recommend you choose healing techniques that you feel most drawn to, since one technique is not necessarily better than another for you. That being said, if you’re experiencing physical problems, it may help to begin with dietary changes (energy vitality plan), yoga, massage, acupuncture, and other bodywork first. If your struggles relate to the mind or heart (emotions), meditation, crystal work, or essential oils might be a good starting point.

But before we go there, let’s get acquainted with the Sacral Chakra.

If your sacral chakra is out of balance, you may be out of touch with your emotions. You may be unable to let things go. Sexually, you may feel closed off, have fertility issues, or have low libido. You could also experience lower digestive problems. We have difficulty expressing our feelings (or are cut off from them), are out of touch with pleasure, and hold unprocessed anger. We feel stifled in our creativity and resentful for not being able to birth our ideas into the world. We also may have relationship issues (platonic and romantic), reproductive issues, or feel unstable or unhealthy around aspects of our sexuality. There can also be feelings of shame. We also may have issues around money and abundance, either placing an overemphasis on obtaining material goods, or not owning our abundance at all.

Getting back into harmony with your Sacral Chakra can also look like: being in the flow of our creative expression, in touch with pleasure, able to share (and express) feelings in healthy ways, create and maintain healthy relationships, and are connected to the emotional aspects of sexuality in ways that sustain us. We feel at peace with our abundance, and may even be in touch with our clairsentience (the gift of taking in intuitive information through feeling). We also have a healthy relationship to money, and easily cultivate abundance in our lives in balanced ways.

Dhyani Mudra FOR MEDITATION

As an optional flair to use during your sacral chakra meditations: place your hands in your lap, palms up. Slide your left hand under the backs of the fingers on your right hand. Your thumbs will touch together lightly, creating an oval cavern.

As your coach works with you through the chakra work process, you will want to provide yourself with opportunities to dig deeper into the energy that’s often only available to you when you are completely alone. It is in the space of solitude, silence, and stillness the the veil between our True Essence and our personality is thin and we can access the subtle realms or our energy body wisdom. Taking time to be with yourself and these meditations throughout the week will add to their total cleansing and healing capacity.

Use your essential oils in a diffuser or hold your chosen crystal during meditations to deepen into the experience.

Choose from the four options below, depending on your available time and desired supportive work throughout the four weeks we will be working with the sacral chakra.

This process seeks to resolve known and unknown energies that have become the limiting rules of your character and releasing them will take you through a characterological transformation. This kind of transformation involves resolving your unresolved self-sabotaging tendencies, such as where you: hold yourself back, take action and then shut yourself down, say you’re interested and then never follow up, betray yourself, and a myriad of other ways you sabotage yourself from achieving your big Soul Goals. But it won’t be easy, and it won’t necessarily feel good.

In this work, we are attempting to open up lots of stored grief, anger, negativity, etc. and what we open up during the session will continue to release outside the session. This is why it’s important to support yourself throughout the week with the aforementioned concepts and therapeutic methods in this Chakra Healing Center page. You may feel sick, dizzy, or otherwise disoriented after a session—this is normal when moving energy, though if this sensation persists for more than a day or two, let me know asap and plan an energy healer visit.

WHAT BLOCKS YOUR CHAKRAS?

Throughout our lives we experience different degrees of negative traumatic experiences that overwhelm our ability to process them. Our way of coping with these events stores that energy so that it becomes hardwired into our physical/energy body system and lies beyond our conscious awareness. When this happens, illnesses manifest, chakras are blocked, and we tend to compensate by defending/avoiding these tender places within us—which makes us feel and act in ways uncharacteristic of our higher-selves.

These traumatic experiences aren’t just stories, they change the brain and nervous system and standard cognitive behavioral therapies aren’t effective at resolving them. Energy work such as chakra process work and movement practices such as yoga, Qigong, meditation, group singing, dance, chanting are more effective at resolving these traumas by moving energy and giving us back our ownership of our bodies. These therapies promote the recall of disassociated aspects of ourselves and invite them back into safe embodiment. If you would like to learn more about trauma, please review these and any works by Peter A. Levine, founder of the Somatic Experiencing method or Bessel van der Kolk:

• Peter A. Levine’s Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute

• A 6 minute summary of Trauma and Somatic Experiencing from Peter A. Levine

• On Being interview with Bessel van der Kolk

• Dr. Bessel van der Kolk 80-minute presentation – “The Body Keeps the Score: How Trauma Is Lodged in Embodied Experience”

• Brain Picking’s exploration of The Body Keeps The Score

These stored traumas are your blind spots—a part of your shadow that operates in your most fundamental code and affects your every moment. The negative energy of stored traumas makes you feel, do, and say things that aren’t truly you, yet you’ve become identified with them over time and thus can’t really see them anymore. With every trauma, you’ve left a little of your Whole-Self behind and your energy has become more tired, fearful, and heavy as a consequence. The more you can integrate these disassociated aspects of yourself through giving them feeling and forgiveness, the more of your power you take back, which makes you feel more: focused, grounded, energized, secure, and clear.

Chakra 2: Transform Passion, Power and Receiving – healing past and future

Your second chakra is where personal power, money, and sexuality all connect energetically. 

What we learn in our 2nd Chakra

If out of balance, instead of your 2nd Chakra being seated in power, passion, feeling, value & receiving, you will have a rule that will limit/reject these qualities for the rest of your life.

2nd Chakra Shadow Rule: Protect myself from vulnerability at all costs.

If the shadow rule is active, here are the resulting 2nd Chakra “Truths.”

Protect myself from vulnerability because it’s not safe…

• to be in my body, too much bad stuff to feel

• to be too powerful or to be weak

• to trust—people betray/abandon/hurt

• to want things because I will be let down

• to want things because they are shameful

• to feel things that are bad/selfish/mean

The 2nd Chakra shadow energetic “rule in action” “I won’t break these rules because if I try…my system will flood with shockingly painful, overwhelming…fear, shame, self-punishment.”

What is being healed now and into the future

1. Core trauma - denial/rejection of deepest needs as a child

2. Rejection of the energy of rage, anger and reclaiming inner power

3. Rejection of 2nd chakra life force energy of money, passion, and creativity

2nd Chakra key aspects and blind spots

Most powerful chakra to experience our feelings, and desire, which is key to allowing the receiving of the very rewards and pleasures we want along with our personal power, and softness, vulnerability. But it is also the most guarded in its rules to never feel or have those things because they make one vulnerable.

What you will experience, learn, and practice

• Process 4: Refusal/Denial/Rejection of deepest needs and 2nd Chakra Shadow

• Process 5: Enforcer of Shadow; rage, anger and personal power balance

• Process 6: Sexual/raw life force energy of money, passion and creativity

Healing Issues Caused By a Weakened Second Chakra

• Difficulty truly owning your power

• Feel guilty or anxious about being “too powerful” or too attractive

• Living the vow to never be angry, so anger is pushed down and becomes frustration or depression

• Or – angry and in battle all the time with others and/or with self in form of self-sabotage

• Thinking your feelings instead of really feeling them

• Have difficulty feeling joy and connection

• Pattern of total fear and avoidance of vulnerability due to expecting betrayal and abandonment

• Shutdown sexual energy and/or periods of excessive sexual energy

Benefits of a Strong Second Chakra

• Channel more raw life-force energy into your life that will be felt by you and others as personal power, passion, compelling charisma, creative ability, and sexuality

• Experience the massive charge of more raw life-force energy and power flowing through your second chakra, spurring and emboldening you to act and go for what you really want and deserve

• Feeling YOU and WHO you are in every new minute—what you’re truly drawn towards and what you truly want

• Feel your heart open through opening your second chakra to let in more love, intimacy, and vulnerability into your relationships while setting better boundaries

• Allow your passion, energy, and ups and downs to be felt by others

• A new willingness to be vulnerable, flawed, and human

• A new, deeper ability to feel your emotions, needs, pleasure, joy, and celebration

After the guided work, we will unpack your experience a bit with the remaining time. If you want to participate in additional coaching, just let me know before the next call and we can book an additional 15 -30 minutes per your desire.

Regarding the Meditation Path Practices

By now, if you’ve been keeping up with the Meditation Path practices, you will likely be on Practice 12 - Heart Reflection. These meditations are designed to accompany your chakra process work as you navigate the entire 16 weeks of the Heart Phase by being the true healing center for all the chakra work. Though we are focusing healing on each of the first four chakras, we are using the heart chakra through the whole process, through each chakra level.

All healing is done through the heart chakra. It’s the most powerful one as it’s responsible for integrating the lower and upper three. It is a part of every other chakra healing and integration because it offers your process wisdom (seeing the big picture), compassion, understanding, patience, love and other qualities while you work through these important reckonings.

The Meditation Path offers a variety of heart chakra focused practices, love body, and self-compassion practices that will enrich and lighten your integration experience while allowing you to express a greater field of love, so please do keep up with your Meditation Path Practices.

The last section has additional supplementary information you may find useful during the next four weeks of sacral chakra focus.
