Svadhisthana Chakra (2^nd chakra) Awakening Workshop

April 2 & 3, 2011

The word "svadhisthana" means "the original home of the self," with "the self" designating the kundalini. Although the kundalini actually resides within the muladhara chakra (muladhara chakra), it originates within the svadhisthana. In the physical body, the root of the svadhisthana chakra is located in the region of the first through third sacral vertebrae. The location of the svadhisthana chakra on the front of the body is around the meridian points of chukyoku (CV 3, 1 1/4" above the pubic bone) and kangen (CV4, 2 1/2" above the pubic bone), which closely relates to the kidney meridian, the urinary balder meridian, the liver meridian, as well as the small intestine meridian.

Svadhisthana chakra is basic to human life, since it provides each of us with both a body and an integrated personality. The muladhara chakra contains the fundamental energy (kundalilni) in the material world in the physical, astral, and causal dimensions, but the svadhisthana chakra functions to actualize this fundamental energy to materialize our bodies at the three levels. The svadhisthana is also closely related to water. The control of water within the body is an important life-support function, and this control is activated and controlled by the working of the svadhisthana.

The svadhisthana chakra is the chakra of the unconscious, and this is where karmic seeds are stored. When the svadhisthana is awakened, you will come face-to-face with karmic seeds that have been stored there. Further, these are very important activities in order to purify your unconsciousness and soul, but it also means that this can cause a lot of trouble since this chakra closely relates to unconsciousness.

When the svadhisthana is activated, you feel invigorated and become healthy. In addition, if you subliminate this fundamental energy (kundalini) through vigorous practice, you are able to obtain paranormal ability such as sharp intuition, psychokinetic power (PK), and extra-sensory perception (ESP).
