Sacral Chakra

The sacral or Svadhishthan chakra, situated at the base of the genitals, is the seat of the individual and collective unconscious. It is associated with seeking pleasure and security. The imbalance of the sacral chakra causes sexual and reproductive diseases. If you have ever felt unsure, unstable, or unable to express your feelings properly, it might be due to the hampered flow of energy in your 2nd chakra. You may also feel a lack of pleasure in your life and dependency, which will eventually reduce your mental health1.
