Svadhisthana, also known as the Sacral or Sexual Chakra, is the second Chakra and is located between the navel and the genitals.

It is the center of primal emotions, sexual energies, and creative forces. The energy of this chakra connects us with our original zest for life and the sensual aspect of sexuality.

It promotes:

• Sensuality
• Joy of life
• Creativity
• Enthusiasm
• Self-confidence
• Improved positive connections with other people, especially with the opposite sex

It manifests harmoniously through a deep connection to one's “inner child,” the harmony with oneself, one's desires, and feelings, which is expressed through deep joy in life. From this chakra, all body fluids are influenced.
