Svadhisthana represents pleasure, passion and overall enjoyment in life. It’s a bright, creative energy center that, when flowing freely, puts you in touch with your artistic essence and the divine feminine.
The Svadhisthana chakra is associated with the element of water, says Snyder. The water element is all about flow, flexibility and freedom of expression when it comes to emotions and sensuality. This energy center, when balanced, offers direct access to flow, flexibility, and fun.
