The sacral chakra (Svadhisthana, that watery energy center in your lower abdomen) is literally the home of "more than enough." This is where true abundance lives—not just in money or possessions, but in the full, juicy experience of life: pleasure, creativity, desire, emotional flow, sensuality, joy, and the ability to receive deeply without apology. At its core, the sacral governs your capacity to hold more. Think of it as your inner vessel or container. It is the bowl of water sitting atop the pillars of the muladhara (root chakra) When the vessel is whole, open & balanced that container is flexible, expansive, and ever-growing—like a river that can carry more water as the rains come. You can hold greater levels of love, success, intimacy, creative ideas, financial flow, and pleasure without it feeling overwhelming or undeserved. Right now, though, so many of us are operating at capacity. The vessel feels rigid, full to the brim, constricted. There's no extra room to take in more—whether it's a new opportunity, deeper connection, or bigger income—without something spilling over into stress, self-sabotage, or shutdown. Shame is a primary cause of this constriction. It dams up the natural watery flow of this chakra (emotions, movement, wanting, feeling), turning fluid expansion into heavy stagnation. In constriction, the sacral blocks show up as symptoms of: - Plateaus in finances, career, or personal growth or business growth—you keep hitting the same financial ceiling year after year. "That's enough for someone like you." - Emotional heaviness or numbness in the body—tension in the hips, lower back, or pelvis; fatigue when abundance or pleasure approaches. - Self-sabotaging patterns—numbing desire with alcohol, substances, overwork, or other escapes - Relationship cycles—attracting bad boys/girls or narcissist, codependency, people pleasing - Scarcity mindset—the feeling of not enough or never enough money, food, time, space on the planet for everyone.
