About the sacral chakra
Svadhisthana sits in the lower abdomen, a little below the navel. Its element is water, and its qualities are water's qualities: movement, softness, the ability to change shape without losing itself.
This is the centre most associated with feeling, pleasure and creativity, the parts of life that do not follow a straight line. In energy practice, a stuck or heavy sacral centre is often described as a life that has stopped flowing; an open one as the ease of being moved by music, by people, by an idea.
Working with it through sound
People working with the sacral centre often choose sound that has a sense of motion, or pair a steady tone with slow, rolling breath into the belly, as if the breath itself were a tide.
Which frequency is the sacral chakra?
In the Solfeggio chakra map, 417 Hz is the sacral tone, associated with change and clearing what has stalled.
