Sacral Chakra meditation/Swathistan chakra meditation

In our Yoga class the first thing we practice is 2 minutes sacral chakra meditation. This 2 minute meditation gives us instant calmness and peace of mind. It prepares our body physically and mentally to start doing yoga. We do only 2 minute meditation due to lack of time. But just 2 minutes meditation is not enough to harvest the benefits. We must slowly increase the time of meditation to see excellent results.

What is chakra?

Chakras are energy centres of human body. They are the centres of various types of marvelous powers. There are seven main energy centres in human body. They are linked together starting from the root to the top of the spinal cord.

The lowest chakra is the root chakra and the highest chakra is the crown chakra. Each chakra corresponds to different aspects of our physical health and mental health.

If all these chakras are open and aligned, we will be successful in physical and emotional aspects of our life. But if any one of these chakra is blocked, we struggle to achieve our goals.

What is Sacral chakra?

The sacral chakra is the second chakra of the seven main chakras. It is related to creativity. It is related to our artistic output, our imagination and potential for personal growth.

Where is the sacral chakra located in our body?

The sacral chakra is located in the centre of the abdomen, a couple of inches below the navel. It is also called Swathistan chakra.     Sacral chakra is responsible for our creativity, our artistic work, our self-confidence, our romantic relationship, our satisfaction and pleasure in life.

When sacral chakra is open, we feel dynamic, stimulated and full of ideas. But when sacral chakra is blocked, we feel boredom, lack of creativity, low self-esteem, jealousy and we get easily addicted to unhealthy behaviors.

How to perform Sacral chakra meditation?

Step 1: Sit in the yoga mat in lotus position, ie. padmasana.

Step 2: Keep your hands in dhyana mudra. Place your right palm over the left palm facing upwards and place the hands in the same position below the navel. The tips of the thumbs must touch each other.

Step 3: Breathe normally and relax. Our spine must be kept straight.

Step 4: Close your eyes and visualize a spinning orange circle in the location of your sacral chakra.

Step 5: Feel yourself warming up in response to the visualization.

Step 6: Do this as long as you like. Then open the eyes.

Initially you may find it difficult to concentrate and meditate and the mind runs here and there. So set the timer in the mobile phone and meditate for the set time.

For example you can set the time for 1 minute and do 1 minute sacral chakra meditation. Then gradually increase the time to 2 minutes. In this way we can gradually increase the meditation time.
