The sacral chakra is your enjoyment and physical quality of life. We prioritize and continue doing things we enjoy.  What prevents you from doing the activities you want to do, and how can you overcome those barriers?  Tweak your form, your schedule, your choice of exercises, to better enjoy your workouts.

Psychology: Freud’s Oral Stage (Birth – 1 year old): While the root chakra corelates to the survival aspect of things going into the mouth, the sacral chakra also connects to this Freudian psychosexual stage. They both concern a primal search for pleasure. Erikson’s Stages 2 and 3 (Autonomy vs Shame & Doubt and Initiative Vs Guilt): Developing a sense of independence and taking initiative, Maslow’s Love & Belonging Needs: friendship, family, intimacy, sense of connection. The sacral chakra is what allows us to let go and feel change & transformation occurring in our body. This chakra’s challenge is for us to overcome societal conditioning.
