| 2nd Chakra Navel |
The 2nd chakra is located in the lower abdomen, about an inch
below the navel and is associated with creativity and procreation.
It also governs emotional and sensual aspects of our lives.
The emotion associated with the 2nd chakra is passion. If you
grew up in an environment where emotions were repressed or
denied, this chakra may be deficient. Some signs of deficiency are
fear of pleasure, being out of touch with one's feelings and
resistance to change.
Signs of an excessive 2nd chakra may be overly emotional
behavior, sexual addiction or poor boundaries. Excessiveness can
be caused by living in an environment where there is a constant
need for pleasurable stimulation, such as entertaining or partying.
Frequent emotional drama can cause excessiveness also.
In yoga, backward and forward bends and squatting strengthen
the 2nd chakra.
