Healing the sacral chakra

Dear Lilyth,

I just want to add one quick thing as you mentioned being hyper-emotional. The element water produces the sacral chakra and sometimes if things are very deeply rooted, it is helpful to hit the core of the energy. As you read over this remember not all aspects will apply, just look for the ones that feel relevant. The essential oil will help bring the bright aspects forward and balance the shadow aspects.

"Soul serves as a cup for the juice, that leaves the intellect in ruins." – Rumi

Water is the great gateway to all things hidden—the emotions, subconscious, and unconscious.

Water holds the following gifts:

• Feelings, rhythm, understanding natural cycles, the unconscious, subconscious and emotional body.
• ‘Pregnant waters,’ pervasiveness, creativity, receptivity—allowing self to be filled.
• Expression of emotional states—the ability to thaw/release frozen emotions (ice/steam).
• Clean, murky, salty (tears).
• Rebirth and renewal, empathy, fluidity.
• Supporting alignment with synchronistic events, grace.
• The dream and soul medium—allowing one to actively access and work with the collective unconscious and use dreams for personal growth.
• Divine feminine and working with and understanding all that the divine feminine holds.
• Feeling contentment not determined by outside circumstances.

Shadow:
Too little water:

• Emotionally desolate; lacking empathy.
• Internally brittle, in need of soul or emotional nourishment.
• Unable to work with or understand dreams.
• Relying on external circumstances to create feelings of contentment.

Too much water:
• Consumed by and drowning in emotion, being emotionally tempestuous.
• Using escapism to avoid life.

The essential oil German Chamomile really helps to balance the water element. I would try adding 6 drops of essential oil to 1 cup of milk, and add to a full warm bath. Try to soak for at least 30 minutes. This will help bring emotional equilibrium.

I am curious, do you relate more to the Water Element or the Sacral Chakra?
