Feel the Flow with this 2nd Chakra Salmon Recipe
By Mindy Arbuckle, E-RYT
The second chakra, Svadhisthana, is all about feeling the flow of life. The sacral chakra is located in the lower abdomen below the belly button. It is orange and unites us to the element of water and its eternal state of movement and dynamic change. When the Svadhisthana chakra is functioning optimally, we are able to go with the flow of life. It connects us to the creative capacity of the universe and our ability to harness this energy to manifest our dreams, desires, and passions. Where we put our energy, we will manifest.
Eating orange foods and practicing the corresponding meditation, “Flow with Universal Energy”, will not only help us to balance the second chakra but it will also help us to live in the present working in harmony with the universe.
