How to Strengthen and Support Your Creative Expression.

Nature has given us an “axis of creation” that, if properly used, will bring balance and harmony to our lives. It begins at the root or the base of your spine, known as the root chakra, and then moves to the sacral located between the pelvic bones. The sacral chakra is the second chakra in the human body. It's believed that it governs how you experience sexuality, creative expression, emotions, and more. According to most traditions, it can become blocked and unbalanced, as can the other chakras in the body. When it is out of alignment, we can experience lower back pain, urinary tract issues, as well as an obsession with negative thoughts and patterns that cause blockages that can have a negative effect on our emotional and mental well-being. In order to send energy, or to open the sacral chakra, the best healing practice is movement. When we move, the body releases the tension caused by stress and negative emotions. The bones of the pelvis are a critical part of the central portion of the skeleton. They serve as a transition from the axial skeleton and the skeleton of the lower body, serving as an attachment point for some of the strongest muscles in the human body while withstanding the forces generated by them. Two poses that open the sacral are the half pigeon and the bound angle. Let’s get to work on opening the sacral with a focus on strength and flexibility. END: The sacral physically supports our movements. Emotionally, when open and robust, it supports creative expression and positive emotions. When the energy of the sacral is in balance, we are transformative. If you are connected to this energy, you will have greater control over your body, your mind, and your soul. Stay open, strong, and connected. EGO: Flip your hands up and extend out the index finger – the symbol of the ego. Feel it pull you away from your axis of creation. The ego is the part of you that sometimes likes to deny and bury feelings and emotions. We are here on earth as humans to experience all the feelings and emotions of human life. It is what we do with these feelings that determines our karma. Pull your finger in and place your thumb on top, the symbol of the soul. Take a breath and surrender to the soul. It is not feelings that we should block. But we should be consciously aware of how we express them. When unblocked and free-flowing, we experience strength, creative expression, happier relationships, and a personal sense of flair and individuality. Stay grounded and open, and you will begin to feel the power of a balanced and robust axis of creation; body, mind, soul.
