• The Hindu word for the second chakra is Swadhisthana. It is positioned underneath the naval just above the pubic bone. • Made of sterling silver and enamel and approximately 1/2" diameter in size , these Jeffrey David earrings were inspired by a Hindu design that is useful for balancing the sacral chakra. • When in balance the sacral chakra helps one to enjoy the pleasures of life. It encourages personal creativity to flow freely and abundantly, particularly in the form of healthy sexuality. The giving and receiving associated with this chakra can be compromised by a lack of equality in one’s relationships. Power struggles or “martyrdom” are negative emotions that arise when it is not functioning properly. Possible physical affects of imbalance manifest in the genital, urinary and reproductive systems, as well as the lower lumbar spine. • To help balance the sacral chakra, do something that gives you pleasure and satisfies a personal desire. Nurturing one’s own needs and in turn giving freely to others can unlock stagnant energy that may have developed over time. Socializing and enjoying the company of friends is beneficial to Swadhisthana. Another technique to bring this chakra into balance is to relax oneself and visualize the color orange while repeating the Hindu chant VAM. Hold your intention just below your naval and allow the sound to vibrate there. This exercise energizes the 2nd chakra. Wearing the sterling silver Jeffrey David locket will give further benefit. • Gemstones that resonate on a harmonious frequency with the sacral chakra are carnelian, amber, golden topaz and citrine. The representative color is orange and this chakra is of the water element
