Meaning & origin
Svadhisthana
Also known as: Sacral chakra; second chakra; Svadhisthana
Svadhisthana is the sacral chakra of creativity, emotion, pleasure, and adaptable movement through life.
About this symbol
Svadhisthana is represented by an orange six-petaled lotus, commonly enclosing a white crescent associated with water. Symbolically located below the navel, it relates to emotional flow, sensuality, imagination, and the ability to welcome change. The emblem suits designs focused on creativity, relationships, and reconnecting with personal desire in a balanced way. Esoteric reading: modern yogic and occult systems use this sign as a meditation mandala for attuning the corresponding subtle-energy center and contemplating its qualities. It is a spiritual map for practice, not an anatomical diagram.
