The second chakra (Svadhisthana)

The second chakra is also called the sexual chakra and is located in the pelvis at the border of the pubic area, connected to: ovaries or testicles. Through the second chakra, which is located in the lower abdomen, Kundalini releases pent-up emotions - both from ourselves and from others - which increases our creativity and ingenuity. As the feelings of others become clear, we develop more compassion and more insight into our own needs. You are less able to give yourself away, and you become more aware of your body and your sensory capabilities. We are now able to cope with eating disorders, premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and abdominal discomfort.

Most people use this gift to help others in a therapeutic sense, or to develop their own creative talents.

Fish, tropical fruits, seeds, nuts and orange crops.
