How to unblock the sacral chakra
Unblocking the sacral chakra can be achieved in a variety of ways. It’s important to check in with our chakra health often to make sure that all seven energy systems are balanced and flowing. Meditation, yoga, orange crystals like orange citrine, essential oils, and affirmations are all tools that can be used to unblock the sacral chakra.
For a detailed look at how to use each of these tools to unblock the sacral chakra, check out this article.
It’s also worth noting that meditation, yoga, crystals, essential oils, and affirmations are powerful tools for unblocking all seven of the chakras. (These are the root chakra, the sacral chakra, the solar plexus chakra, the heart chakra, the throat chakra, the third eye chakra, and the crown chakra.)
How to use sacral chakra affirmations
Sacral affirmations can be used to kickstart an underactive sacral chakra and restore the flow of energy to your second chakra. This can help you to feel more invigorated, inspired, creative, and passionate in your daily life.
Sacral chakra affirmations can be used in a few ways: as a mantra, in meditation, to replace negative self-talk, and as a journaling tool.
Mantra
A mantra is a sound, word, or phrase that is repeated over and over again in your head or out loud. Mantras have been used to improve mental health for at least 3,000 years! So there must be something to them.
While mantras are traditionally ancient spiritual sounds, anything can be used as a mantra — even a sacral affirmation. You can use a sacral chakra affirmation as a mantra by setting aside a few minutes per day to say, think, or chant the phrase to yourself. Using an affirmation in this way has the power to calm your mind as you relax into the repetitive rhythm you’ve created.
Meditation
Meditation is one of the most powerful ways to unblock and heal our chakras. It becomes even more powerful when we use a good chakra affirmation during meditation.
When we are in a state of meditation our subconscious minds become very absorbent to whatever we think about. That’s why a good sacral affirmation can have profound effects on your mindset and your body’s energetic expression when used during your meditation.
To incorporate a sacral chakra affirmation into your meditation, you may consider setting an intention before your practice to let the affirmation sink in ever more deeply throughout your meditation. You may begin by using the affirmation like a mantra for a few minutes, and then allowing the thought to become softer and more general in your mind as you continue through your meditation – keeping in mind your intention to let it soak in and resonate with you continuously more deeply.
Replace Negative Self-Talk
Negative self-talk is the voice inside your head that is overly critical and judgmental of everything you do. A huge part of most people’s self-development journey is learning to notice and replace the negative self-talk they experience in everyday life.
Using a positive affirmation, in this case, a sacral affirmation is a great tool to begin replacing negative self-talk. When your brain has harsh feedback because of something you say, do, don’t do, look like, etc, you can interrupt that thought with your affirmation. Since sacral affirmations are specifically targeted toward making you feel grounded, empowered, and unique, they act as an excellent positive self-talk replacement.
Journaling
Journaling can be a very grounding and spiritual practice. It’s even widely recognized for being useful in maintaining emotional wellness. Journaling for creative expression is an especially poignant tool for balancing your sacral chakra since this is the chakra responsible for creativity and passion.
During your journaling practice, you may consider writing your chosen sacral chakra affirmation every day to remind yourself of its power and to let the words soak in more and more daily. You can also journal about what the affirmation means to you, how you want to use it throughout the day, and what you hope to gain from its power. Journaling about a sacral chakra affirmation can be an endless source of innovation and positive energy in your life.
