How To Unblock Your Sacral Chakra ?

1. Reconnect with water

The sacral chakra is associated with the element of water. You can reconnect with this element by staying hydrated, enjoying your bath or shower, going for a swim.

For the sacral chakra to stay healthy, you need to keep it hydrated – drink plenty of water. Ideally sit quietly while you drink it, feel it pouring down inside you, notice its coolness and how refreshing it is. Be aware of the moment.

Add some relaxing elements to your daily routine. When taking a shower or bath, make sure to use your favourite towels, soaps, and lotions. Light some candles or use an essential oil diffuser, play some calming music.

If you lucky to live near an ocean, lake, river, or stream, go for a swim, embrace the water and its power. Or just go for a walk, listen to the soothing sound of water, and dip your toes in it. Feel the connection.

If you live in a city with no access to such places, go to a swimming pool. When there, have the intention of connecting with water, be mindful of your sacral chakra.
