The Second Chakra:
In the Indian Tantric tradition, this chakra, called the Swadhisthana or "Self or Own Abode", is figured as having
six petals with a crescent in the center, the tattwa of water. This chakra therefore corresponds to the element
Water and is traditionally associated with the sexual impulses and sexual energy.
This chakra is about friendliness, creativity, sexuality, emotions, and intuition. The second chakra also governs
people's sense of self-worth, their confidence in their own creativity, and their ability to relate to others in an
open, and friendly way. The color orange is considered a sociable color since it combines the physical red, and
the intellectual yellow.
In psychological terms, swadhisthana is associated with the subconscious mind, and therefore, with drowsiness,
and sleep. When prana activates swadhisthana it can increase the desire for pleasure, especially in the form of
food, and sex.
It is located at the base of the spine at the level of the coccyx, and pubic bone.
It is also related to apana vayu, and the water element.
Swadhisthana 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.
