Express Yourself with Happy Hips🧡
I have experienced many sunsets from land, water, and air adventures. All are a natural gift, but I believe there are none as magnificent as those in Southwest Florida. At dusk, they begin to lure us in with the splendor of their spectrum of hues and formations as they illuminate us in a once-in-a-lifetime live performance. Like an artist in the sky with freedom to express and create as we gaze in wonder. Can you also see the glow of the hearts formed in the clouds that captured my eyes, or perhaps I just created in my mind?
When we connect with our Sacral Chakra, Svadhisthana, we find the power to create. Considered sacred as far back in history as the ancient Egyptian civilization, the energy of our Sacral Chakra thrives in the area our hips. This orange sphere of energy is our center for creativity, pleasure, and passion. Think reproduction physically, emotionally and mentally, a truly sacred center.
The Sacral chakra is vibrant orange and the element is water. When the chakra is clear and balanced we can be playful and passionate about things we love.
I got more acquainted with this area after an injury that screamed for my attention. So I reviewed some basic anatomy.
There are 5 fused vertebrae (S1-S5) that form the sacrum at approximately 30 years of age. A large triangular bone important for support, protection and structure as it connects with our last spinal vertebra and joins our hips together at the sacroiliac (SI) joints for movement. Key muscles of the hip joints pull on the sacrum to move our legs. This explains why it was painful for me to stand, walk, or sit after my injury. It surrounds and protects our lower spinal nerves and is central in the pelvic cavity to support and protect organs in the abdominopelvic cavity.
The kidneys, bladder, and reproductive organs find their home here. Movement helps this center for creation to allow the flow of fluids and purification.
Hip focused yoga postures help us release inhibitions and nurture our creative nature. When we focus on the sacral region we are more flexible to move with ease, maintain and strengthen our muscles, bones, joints, kidneys, bladder and reproductive organs. Healthy hips allow us to find comfort in our whole body.
Pranayama, the breath practices, help fuel and circulate prana, vital life force energy. So any physical or energetic blockages will challenge and stagnate the function of the whole body as the sacral area is a powerful link.
The mantra, a chant or sound for the Sacral Chakra is VAM. When we chant Vam, the vibration we create within and around us encourages a free and playful sensation.
So wear some sassy orange and chant VAM to manifest the vitality and vibrancy to create the pleasures that your body and soul desire!
