Chakras: Svadhisthana Chakra

Chakras: Svadhisthana Chakra

Svadhisthana chakra is located a few inches above the root chakra in the general area of pelvic sexual arousal. Its element is water. It is associated with the endless seeds within seeds for all future incarnations and is the primary basis of conventional sexuality.

Svadhisthana also governs taste and the world of "good taste," which displays itself in fashions as the play of taste and sensuality. Raunchy, sexy, alluring, classic, monastically robed-all are manifestations of svadhisthana, via dress. "Juicy" people with a kind of "chemistry" also reveal something about this chakra but only suggestively so, for that is the manner of svadhisthana. Sexual fantasies and scenarios, as internal adult entertainments, are also stirred by this center, and stir it as well. Thus we might say it is the "Elvis" and "Marilyn" of the chakras.
