2nd Chakra Series – 21 Ways to Care for Your Sacral Chakra

This is the last post in a series on the 2nd, or sacral chakra, in women. The prior posts were on Tantric Sexuality, Intuition and Seeing, Motherhood and Creating, and Spirituality and Bliss. Those posts all gave lots of reasons why attention to your 2nd chakra, and 2nd chakra issues, is so important for women. Hopefully you’re convinced!

Also, I feel like I should add a disclaimer along the lines of those medical ads that say “This is not meant to replace a diagnose from a qualified medical doctor.” While I am a firm believer in our ability to each heal and develop ourselves, sometimes a guide or helping hand is essential. So if you really feel like you have some deep-seated 2nd chakra issues, or want to delve further into the chakras themselves, consider finding a therapist, energy healer, meditation teacher, astrologer, Akashic record reader, past-life regressionist, or whatever resonates with you, to help you do so. Let your intuition guide you to the right approach and practitioner [...]

Introduction to the 2nd Chakra and Tantric Sexuality

Awhile back I said I was going to write a series on the 2nd chakra, and particularly the 2nd chakra in women. I’ve delayed and delayed it, because I was having a really hard time clarifying for myself everything I wanted to say. It’s become a bit of a block. I’ve finally just decided I have to spit it all out quickly, over a few days. So, I am going to post on the 2nd chakra related to the following this week: 1) Tantric sexuality (this post), 2) Intuition and Seeing, 3) Motherhood and Creativity, 4) Spirituality and Bliss, and then wrapping it all up with 5) 21 Ways to Care for Your 2nd Chakra.

As in most chakra systems, the 1st chakra is at the tailbone, and you work your way up to the 7th at the crown of the head. The mapping most Westerners are familiar with places the 2nd and 3rd chakras differently from this picture – the 2nd is typically at or just under the navel (where the 3rd is here) and the 3rd is at the solar plexus (where there is just a black dot here designating a minor energy [...]

2nd Chakra Series – Spirituality and Bliss

This is the fourth in a marathon series I am doing this week on the 2nd, or sacral chakra, in women. The prior posts were on Tantric Sexuality, Intuition and Seeing, and Motherhood and Creating, and the post after this is on 21 Ways to Care for Your 2nd Chakra. As you can see, I am a bit of a chakra geek. We all need our obsessions.

I ask this because in the yogic and meditative traditions that address women’s 2nd chakras, it is associated with a certain kind of bliss. Not happiness, or connectivity, or mindfulness, or love, or clarity, or even epiphany, but specifically bliss. So what is bliss?

In meditative traditions that address it, women’s 2nd chakras are specifically associated with bliss, as is the entire female, or yin, aspect of existence. Men can of course experience it too, because any human can experience any state, but energetically women’s 2nd chakras are the most direct access to it. In fact, as I mentioned, this is one of the approaches within Tantric [...]

BlissQuest: Starting a Yoga Practice

I have been doing yoga for about 13 years. The very first yoga I did was from pictures in the Deepak Chopra book, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind.

I remember we were living in our attic apartment, with windows that had the tops of trees as our main view. It was hot hot hot in the summer, but there was something lovely about it -- very like a tree house or a bird's nest.

I would study a picture and then imitate it, yelling to Marcy, "Does this look right?"

Now there are much better ways to get into yoga.

My first VCR tape was the Erich Schiffmann/Ali McGraw yoga. I still recommend this to people for great asana sequencing and beautiful production values. (Hey! How can it be bad if they use Dead Can Dance in the background?)

I picked that tape, because the cover felt calm! Luckily it worked out.

Over the years, I have tried all sorts of DVD's and read many, many books, and I am now, as you know, a big proponent of Kundalini yoga, especially as taught by Ravi [...]

Kundalini and Tantra

According to the philosophy of Tantra, the entire universe is a manifestation of pure consciousness. In manifesting the universe, this pure consciousness seems to become divided into two poles or aspects, neither of which can exist without the other.
