Swadistana translates to “one’s own dwelling place” in Sanskrit. This energy center is the storehouse of our samskaras. These are the past mental impressions and patterns we carry with us through living life. These can also show up in the form of archetypes–the stories we habitually tell ourselves, as well as the patterns of our shadow-self. The quality of this energy center is Feminine. It represents the need to be gentle, receptive, and non-forceful. Sensitivity and surrender are key. Water flows, moves, and changes, so does a healthy Sacral Chakra.
