69 Healing Sacral Chakra Affirmations: Reclaim Passion & Joy
I'm sorry, but I am unable to see images or visual content. However, I can help you create a description if you provide details about the image you have in mind.
Do you shy away from emotional intimacy, feel ashamed of your sexuality, or feel lost when it comes to knowing what you want?
These are a few wounds that you can help soothe with sacral chakra affirmations.
As the chakra of pleasure, emotions and desire, it has a big impact on how you navigate life.
This post will detail what a healthy sacral chakra looks like, what happens when it’s imbalanced, and provide several affirmations for your use at any time.
Ready to realign some energy?
Let’s begin.
What is the Sacral Chakra?
Sanskrit name: Svadhisthana, meaning “sweetness”
Color: Orange
Element: Water
Development: 6 months - 2 years old
Opposition: Guilt
“In recovering the second chakra, we reclaim our right to feel.”
Chakras are an ancient concept originating in India. They are centers of energy located at different points in or around the body. Each one develops in a certain age window, and affects the healthy expression of specific areas of life.
Of the seven major chakras, the sacral chakra is considered the second, located at the lower abdomen/sacral plexus. It rests above the root chakra, seated at the base of the spine.
Many associate this chakra with creativity. While the sacral chakra is attached to sexuality, the realm of creative expression belongs to the throat chakra.
Instead, this chakra is all about movement, connection, emotions, and pleasure. That makes sense thinking about when it develops - when we are just starting to become autonomous!
As a baby, you’re completely helpless and dependent on others to dictate your experience.
But then you learn to walk and - boom! - you’ve suddenly opened the door to infinite possibilities. Toddlers love to move, play, grab whatever they can (& probably taste it too), and delight in new sensory experiences.
And maybe the most beautiful part of it? They’re not ashamed of their joy - or any other emotion. They’re not afraid to cry if they’re sad, or laugh loudly, or express what they want.
They listen to their instincts.
That is, if they’re raised in a loving, supportive environment. If everything goes well during the sacral chakra’s formative period, it shows up like this as an adult:
Emotional intelligence
Able to nurture self & others in a balanced way
Adaptable to change
Able to have balanced pleasure
Graceful, confident movement
Having & respecting healthy boundaries
Enthusiasm for personal goals/desires
What happens when circumstances are less than perfect? We’ll explore the sacral chakra symptoms of both too little and too much energy.
Let’s start with deficiency.
Signs of Sacral Chakra Blockage
Chakra energy is never truly blocked, but can be either overactive or underactive. So then, what inhibits the sacral chakra’s flow?
The shadow of this chakra is guilt. If your sacral chakra is underactive, it’s likely that you were made to feel guilty somehow about your needs and desires.
Someone in your home might have shamed you for expressing emotions, or always made things about them and so took away your right to having big feelings, too. Maybe you experienced judgment or criticism in the things you enjoyed. Another big factor is not receiving adequate affection and appropriate physical touch.
If your sacral chakra energy is deficient, you may experience one or more of these symptoms:
Denial of personal pleasures
Being rigid in physical movement and attitude
Repressed emotions
Confusion with what you want
Lack of passion and desire
Fear of sex and emotional intimacy
Underdeveloped social skills
Unable to deal with change
Overly strict boundaries
A deficient sacral chakra looks like shrinking & stagnation. To help this, do things to expand your energy and experience!
Try new forms of movement - yoga, Zumba, swimming, etc. When you find yourself wanting something, allow yourself to have and enjoy it, rather than shaming yourself. Speak with a therapist who holds space for you to express yourself freely.
Now, let’s discuss what happens with overactive energy.
Signs of Excessive Sacral Chakra Energy
Represented by water, we want the sacral energy to have a steady, solid flow.
An overactive sacral chakra looks more like a tsunami; it turns its attention on everyone and everything else, even to the point of destruction, to avoid looking inward.
While a deficiency leads to isolation and disconnect, an excessive sacral chakra craves external connection all the time, unable to handle separation.
“In contrast to the deficient who might prefer bland colors, foods, or uniformity in surroundings, the excessive wants constant stimulation, change, and excitement.”
The excessive sacral chakra can manifest the following:
Addictions (especially sensory like sex, drugs or alcohol)
Overly sensitive / over-reactive
Sexual acting out
Ruled by emotions, prone to extreme mood swings
Obsessive attachment
Emotionally depends on others
Lack of boundaries (& will invade others)
If you relate to one or more of these, working on sacral chakra healing could make a big difference.
Do you have any unhealthy habits that might be replaced with something healthier, but still pleasurable? You might find more inner clarity and peace through meditation or spending time in nature. A therapist here may be suited to help you separate yourself from your emotions, and learn new coping methods for big emotions.
Now that you have a picture of sacral chakra balance vs imbalance, let’s get to the positive affirmations and how to use them.
Using Affirmations to Unblock the Sacral Chakra
Up to this point in life, you’ve operated on a subconscious belief system that developed before you even remember.
Positive affirmations are a method to penetrate that outdated system.
For example, if your sacral chakra is excessive, you may have the belief, I’m selfish when I say no. You reinforce this belief by people-pleasing and lacking boundaries, even feeling physically uncomfortable at the thought of saying no to someone’s request.
By repeating positive affirmations that encourage the opposite thought, you’re gently teaching your body and mind that it is safe to behave differently.
These affirmations can be spoken, read, or written down. You could even record yourself saying them and listen at any time. Make time each day to reinforce at least a handful of the affirmations that you feel would benefit the most.
Let’s start reprogramming.
