Awakening Your Spleen or Svadisthana Chakra
The second or spleen chakra is located in the center of the abdomen and is associated with our ability to feel our feelings, and with social ties and intimacy. Depression, eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, and lower back pain are all associated with imbalance of the spleen chakra. The color associated with the second chakra is bright orange. Bringing that color into your environment and your dress can help bring balance to your energy. Orange food and drink, orange gemstones, and orange essential oils such as melissa or orange oil will also help to awaken and balance the second chakra. The element of water is also associated with this chakra, so swimming, bathing, water aerobics, and even walks in the rain can help. Being near fountains or large bodies of water will bring relief as well. Any creative new way of expressing yourself will awaken the spleen chakra, especially dance and any other form of creative movement. Yoga is one the very best practices for awakening the spleen chakra and for bringing all seven chakras into balance. Yoga is gentle and can be practiced at any age by anyone in any state of health. If you can do only one physical exercise and nothing else, it should be yoga. You will notice improvement in how you feel and move almost immediately after beginning yoga practice, and the benefits will grow over time.
