The Abdominal/ Sacral Chakra

Svadhisthana chakra is shown as having six petals, bearing the Sanskrit letters ba,bha, ma, ya, ra, and la. The seed sound in the centre is vam. The tattwa for the element of Water is shown as a silver crescent.

Svadhishthana is described as a black lotus, with six vermillion-colored petals which have the following syllables written on them in the colour of lightning: बं baṃ, भं bhaṃ, मं maṃ, यं yaṃ, रं raṃ and लं laṃ.

Inside this lotus is a white crescent moon, formed by two different sized inner circles, one inside the other. The crescent moon is the water region presided over by Varuna, who is white in color, four-armed, holds a noose and is seated on a crocodile. The two inner circles also have petals; the larger one eight outward facing petals, and the smaller one eight inward facing petals.

The seed mantra, located in the innermost circle, is a moon-white वं vaṃ

This is the second chakra and focuses on the aligning of the mental, emotional and physical levels with desires/pleasures. This point stores all those instinctual natures where they are transmuted into a fine balance from the ego into complete giving and selflessness. the entire system of major and minor Chakras.

 When this chakra is clean the person only thinks positive thoughts, thus no impure thoughts/feelings can penetrate. Sex is only impure if done for egoistic reasons and or by hurting others. (Sadism/masochism hurts others therefore forcing a karmic burden upon someone else.) When the two people make love, lights mix and the purple waves create figures. Beauty depends on the love between the parties. When there is great love, there are fantastic auras that can be compared to a fairy tale scene with the leaves and flowers that arc above the lovers (as seen from the higher realm). These powerful vibrations burn away a lot of negative aspects.

By loving another person and showing it by sexual behavior, one can develop very much personally and spiritually. There is an element of giving rather than taking. Both are willing to give up egoistic demands in favor of giving to another.

The purity that is reflected in ones attitudes means a life without complaining, living in accordance with the truth of life and manifesting one's own reality, either positive or negative.

The Abdominal Chakra is associated with the parts of our consciousness concerned with food and sex - the communication from the body to the person within it, about what the body wants or needs, and what it finds pleasurable. It also is related to what is happening in their consciousness about having children. When this chakra is in its clear state, the person is in touch with this communication, and listening to and responding appropriately to what the body wants and needs.

Parts of the body controlled by the lumbar plexus include the reproductive system and the abdomen, and the lumbar region of the back.

The sense of taste is associated with this chakra, as is the element of water. When someone does not have a clear relationship with water (swimming, for example, or being on a boat), this reflects their attitudes about the parts of their consciousness that this chakra represents.

Tensions on the will side or the emotional side of this chakra indicate tensions in the person's consciousness as conflicts between either the will or the emotions with what the person's body is asking for.

This chakra is associated with the sense of taste, and with appetite. It is also involved with the person's willingness to feel their emotions.
