Svadhisthana.

Svadhisthana is the sacral chakra, the second centre in the classical seven-chakra system. The Sanskrit name translates roughly as "one's own seat" or "the dwelling place of the self," and the chakra is associated with the felt life of the body: emotion, pleasure, creative impulse, and the watery quality of feelings that move and change.

It sits a few finger-widths below the navel and is pictured as a six-petalled orange lotus. Where the root holds steady ground, the sacral holds movement. In modern practice this chakra is invoked around creative blocks, low mood, difficulty feeling pleasure, and grief that has gone numb rather than passing through.

Stones favoured here tend to be orange or peach: carnelian, sunstone, orange calcite, and peach moonstone are common picks. Practical work for svadhisthana usually involves the body, not the head. A long bath, a dance, an afternoon spent making something with no purpose beyond the making. Stones are kept nearby as a quiet cue to come back into the body and let feeling move again.
