Orange, the Color of the Sacral Chakra, Veronica Connors

The Sacral Chakra is the second chakra of the body and influences the emotional realm. This chakra allows one to experience pleasure and joy.

The second chakra is located next to the spleen between the root chakra and the naval. It has a slightly higher vibration than the first chakra and is associated with the color orange.

In The Book of Chakras: Discover the Hidden Forces Within you, Ambika Wauters says that wearing the color orange or painting a room in this shade can bring healing, warmth, and physical well-being to your life.

Elements Associated with the Sacral Chakra

The sacral chakra is said to vibrate at the same level as the musical note D. Humming in the key of D is said help balance this chakra.

Gemstones or crystals have their own vibration levels and have healing qualities for the chakras. Chakras respond to the vibrations from different gemstones helping clear the energy. Crystals that can help clear the second chakra are onyx, tiger’s eye, and amber.

As well, different types of activities can be performed to heal and open the seven chakras of the body. Yoga, dance, gardening, and listening to classical music are said to help open the sacral chakra.

Keeping the Sacral Chakra Balanced

In The Psychic Pathway: A Workbook for Reawakening the Voice of Your Soul, Sonia Choquette says a balanced orange chakra allows one to have balanced emotions and to enjoy the pleasures associated with senses.

An over stimulated second chakra can result in a person who has lost control of their pleasure center to the point of greediness. This can lead to lack of control of the physical senses having tendencies toward additive behaviour.

To balance the second chakra:

Meditate on the orange orb that represents the sacral chakra. Imagine the orb spinning and perfectly balanced in the body.
If there are addictive tendencies towards food avoid chocolate, fruits, honey, ice cream, pastas, bread, and butter.
Listen to classical music.
Be kind to the body and give it the basic elements that it needs to be healthy such as food, water, rest, and exercise.
Show respect to your physical surroundings and keep your home, office, car, and other living spaces tidy and clean.
Enjoy the pleasures in life and see yourself as a worthy recipient.
