The power of celebrating your small wins is a serious thing. It helps you tap into the frequency of gratitude. As we discussed in the Heart Chakra post before, the magnetism of the heart is VERY powerful. When I say "celebrate", I don't mean doing something drastic. Sometimes, something as simple as acknowledging that you completed a task and being present with the happiness it brings, can be just as powerful!
Experiencing pleasure is deeply connected to the sacral chakra. Some people might think pleasure is "taboo" or solely about sex, but it's deeper than that. Itās about your senses, your ability to feel, and your connection to sensuality. If you ever felt stuck in procrastination, dealt with exhaustion, or have been obsessively fixated on the need to act on something -- that is your signal to be present with your emotions! Listening to how you feel will guide you in the direction of what needs healing (nourishment) and will definitely let you know where you aren't getting your needs met.
Let's talk about the difference between your feelings and your emotions really quick! When you can understand the difference, you can understand why your emotions aren't as logical as you think.
Feelings are how your mind tries to make sense of an emotional response in your body. Based on your thoughts and your experiences, your ego comes up with stories to help you understand.
Emotions, on the other hand, are raw biological and physiological sensations triggered by situations. Theyāre your bodyās way of signaling, āfeel this!ā instead of letting your mind create a narrative about the experience.
To my evolved empaths; you have acknowledged the gift of your intuition that has its own emotional intelligence -- to feel deeply enough to understand where you are feeling the sensation in your body & to know your own sense enough to differentiate someone else's energy vs yours. I hope to talk more about this throughout my posts... if you stick around!
This is why I say, "our emotions aren't really right or wrong". Emotions are simply frequenciesālow or high, dense or light; they are energy in motion! By removing judgment, you allow energy to flow through your body, rather than getting trapped by self created narratives. Have you ever recognized how sometimes when we're afraid or anxious we tend to hold our breath or start to breathe very shallow? Holding your breath is like trapping energy inside. Instead, we can recognize how we feel when we are contracting our flow, and try to start breathing deeper. This can consciously help release our emotions. Look into "somatic therapy", where this can be explained in more detail.
The feeling of joy can be incredibly nourishing for the sacral chakra. In a way it can also act as a form of parenting your inner child. As adults, we often forget that we donāt need permission to treat ourselves well. Taking care of your basic needs, like prioritizing rest, can bring joy and vitality into your life. Who doesn't want that? Rest isn't just about recovery; itās also about rejuvenating your energy so you feel lively and vibrant. Personally, I find that giving myself this space creates more confidence and colorful energy within me! Child-like, jovial energy always involves joy, and having this feeling allows you to foster more soul nourishment.
Another thing I want to point out about the sacral chakra is the physical location-- the gut! Our gut is often called our second brain too. Itās not just about digestionāitās where our beliefs about ourselves live, shaping our sense of self-worth. When the sacral chakra is balanced, it helps us release "limiting" beliefs that keep us stuck in cycles of shame or inadequacy. How can you believe you're a divine being, if your sense of self-esteem is low? Instead, we can cultivate beliefs that affirm our inherent worth, our soul sovereignty, and the ability to create a fulfilling life.
A balanced sacral chakra supports this process by helping you release stored energy and express emotions freely. This balance not only enhances your emotional well-being but also fuels your creativity. As a soul-led entrepreneur, Iāve learned how challenging it can be to create when my emotions feel scattered or unsettled. Dealing with these feelings and releasing them is essential for clear, aligned creativityāwhether itās crafting a project or designing aspects of your business.
Tips to help balance your Sacral Chakra:
1. Engage in creative activities: Painting, dancing, or cooking can help unlock the flow of energy in this chakra.
2. Practice movement: Yoga, especially hip-opening poses, helps release stored tension in the pelvic area. This is also why dancing is great for your sacral! Sex is great too!
3. Prioritize pleasure: Dedicate time to things that bring you joy, whether itās enjoying a favorite meal, taking a long bath, or connecting with nature.
4. Embrace soul care rituals: Massage, aromatherapy, or tools such as cards where you can daily pull from your deck and reflect intuitively. Writing about how you feel can be great to accompany any of your practices, so you can process emotions and understand its patterns.
5. Meditate on water: The sacral chakra is associated with the water element. Meditating by a natural body of water, taking a mindful shower, or visualizing flowing water not only calms & centers your energy, it also can enhance the balance of your sacral energy.
By integrating these practices into your routine, you can align with the vibrant, creative energy of your sacral chakra. Balance brings freedomāfreedom to feel, to create, and to live a joyful (fulfilling) life.
