It is our base chakra. It is a chakra of security and stability connected to our basic needs as a human being. Thus, we need to cherish it. Keeping this chakra open and balanced will protect us from harm.

This chakra is related to our emotions and lack of consciousness. It is quite similar to Muladhara in which Muladhara is where several samskaras (latent Karmas) remain inert, while Svadhistana is where samskaras have become active.

Svadhistana is linked with the sense of taste, the element of water, and the act of reproduction. Opening this chakra gives us clarity, power, and freedom from our enemies.

Third Chakra: Manipura
