Important Functions
The considered chakra is a container of all emotions and sexual energies. She is a symbol of transformation and personalization through awareness of the uniqueness of others. Her energy flows from the main chakra, and if the latter is balanced, then Swadhistan will function properly. If there are problems with Muladhara, a person is not confident in his abilities, loses his creative potential and is disappointed in the world around him.
The second, equally important function of Swadhistan is the development of the ability to understand other people. A good opening of this chakra provides attentiveness and caring for the feelings of others and for life in general. All this comes when a person feels himself a full-fledged independent personality. It is noteworthy that this priceless feeling develops at a very young age and depends on how the immediate environment and parents relate to the child.
Intimate sphere
Chakra Swadhistan is the focus of sexuality, sensual pleasures, attraction to the opposite sex. In addition, its effect is directed to sexual intercourse, to our perception of sexuality and attitude to sex received at birth. It is this chakra that is responsible for our choice of sexual partners, sexual stereotypes and norms.

Positive alignment
If the chakra of Swadhistan performs its functions properly, a person is confident in his personality, at the same time he is completely open to the feelings of others. It is easy for him to make acquaintances with representatives of the opposite sex, he has a healthy attitude to sex. At the same time, the individual uses his sexuality and attractive external data not to achieve personal goals, but to sincerely express feelings and establish a connection with those to whom his heart belongs.

If something goes wrong
All 7 chakras play an important role in the development and formation of personality. With an imbalance in any of them, a certain sphere of life suffers. Thus, the lack of harmony in Swadhistan negatively affects the sexual relationship of the individual and his self-confidence. The roots of the problem should be sought in adolescence, filled with uncertainty in the intimate sphere, introspection and attempts to realize the characteristics of their gender.
In a person unfamiliar sexual energies begin to rage . Unfortunately, parents, teachers and the closest associates are not always able to correctly answer questions and direct thoughts in the right direction. The inability to properly direct unfamiliar energies makes the emerging personality feel ashamed of their feelings, consider them something shameful. Suppression of emotions destroys self-esteem and self-perception.
A person finds himself in a much more serious situation if he is brought up in an overly conservative family, where sexuality is associated with sinfulness. This translates into an inability to express oneself in the intimate sphere. In addition, sensuality is suppressed, the ability to normally communicate with the opposite sex, the absence of creative impulses, the joy of life. A person feels constantly tired, he is notorious and restrained.
It should be understood that suppressed desires do not disappear anywhere. The conflict between aspirations and the inability to realize them causes a feeling of complete emptiness and constant dissatisfaction. Often this vacuum is filled with pernicious addictions - to food, alcohol, money, promiscuous sexual contacts, etc.
An unbalanced Swadhistana is disturbing and prevents self-realization. Often a person with similar problems is locked in himself, leads a hermit lifestyle. However, he does not know where to look for the root of the problem, while the reason is not in those around him, but in himself.
Correct the situation
How to develop Swadhistan? To do this, you need to seriously work on yourself. First of all, it is necessary to learn how to transmit to the Universe an energy message about your desires. In addition, it is important to clear the emotional and mental layer of unconscious stereotypes that interfere with the right path.
Exercises
Above, we examined what problems might arise if Swadhistan is not balanced. How to open the chakra? Performing the first effective exercise in this matter will take you no more than five minutes a day. To do this, take a horizontal position (the surface must be solid), bend your legs at the knees, while the feet completely touch the plane. It is necessary to take the deepest possible breath, and on the exhale, raise the pelvis as high as possible, as if squeezing the breath between the legs. Then relax, take a starting position, and then repeat the above steps again. With proper and regular exercise, the effect will be noticeable after a month.
To achieve the desired regular regular massage massage or amateur self-massage of any part of the body will help. The main thing is that at this time you experience positive emotions and not think bad.
There is another way for the Swadhistana (chakra) to function normally. How to develop it with meditation? To do this, you will often need to be alone with yourself. Take the lotus position. Take a deep breath and exhale, and they should be the same in duration. In this way, breathe continuously, mentally erasing the boundaries between inhalation and exhalation. At the same time, imagine the orange chakra at its location in your body. The minimum duration of the exercise is ten minutes. A success can be considered a sensation of tingling, cold, burning, etc. between the pubic bones. This is a sign that the goal has been achieved: now you have the Swadhistana (chakra).
How to develop sexual energy with food?
Swadhistana simply cannot be in a balanced state if a person consumes smoked, salted, fried, fatty and pickled foods. It is necessary to try to switch to mono-nutrition in order to consume one product at a time. For example, if it’s a potato, then without oil, salt, sour cream, etc. If an egg, then without salt, seasoning. Before eating, drink a glass of liquid, preferably pure drinking water, but you can also tea or juice. Take at least four-hour breaks between meals, with at least twelve hours allocated for a night break.
It is very important to eat any product, experiencing a feeling of deep respect and love for it, because it gives all of itself so that you continue your existence. Pay special attention to serving. Take your time to eat and drink, enjoy this process, perform actions not automatically, but meaningfully.
