XXXII — The Sacral Chakra
Moving further up the body, we find the Sacral Chakra. Its location is slightly below the navel and rests inside the body around the pelvic area. This Chakra is a very pleasurable one and one tinged with adventure. It enjoys sexual expression and delights in new experiences. It is a bold and spirited Chakra, suffused with an abundance of energy and confidence. The Sacral Chakra is a spirit and energy of acceptance, and allowing this energy to flow unchecked will bring new acquaintances and new relationships.
The colour of the Sacral Chakra is orange, a glowing and passionate orange; one full of fire and desirous for the need of new experience. The Sacral Chakra is the colour of the Sun and is the fuel and fire of Sun, giving to us the vitality and strength, and when you allow this Chakra to flourish without censorship, physical opportunities of pleasure will present themselves. The orange colour of the Sacral Chakra is also a very sensual colour inviting the gazer to touch its warm body and core.
Neglect of the Sacral Chakra brings a host of unwanted ailments. Because the Chakra is steeped in pleasure and sexual energy, this is where, most often than not, the signs of neglect will show. There will be a marked depreciation in the appetite of the physical kind. The loss of feeling or lack of feeling will interfere with any meaningful relationship, as the senses will become dulled and uninviting, and the more they descend into this realm, the more will they have to ability and force to change other Chakras of the body. This endless cycle will only lead to disaster and unhappiness for the recipient in the course of time and should be thoroughly shunned.

About Karl Swainston
Karl Swainston is a writer and storyteller whose work is forged from a life lived across the North of England and far beyond. Growing up on a Leeds council estate in the 1960s, Karl's journey was anything but linear. By the age of thirty, he had already lived a dozen lives: from the rigors of grammar school to a degree in Latin, a stint as a fishmonger, a period of discovery living in Marseille, and a return to the hustle of London. Whether working as a postman, a builder, or competing as a county-level chess player, he was, above all, an avid reader—constantly documenting the world around him. This restless spirit continued into his professional life. Karl later taught in Bradford, where he ran a specialist unit for 244 of the most excluded students from across the region—young people whom even the local Pupil Referral Units could not accommodate. Working alongside his old friend Malcolm, Karl spent his days navigating the volatility of Bradford's most aggressive and dysfunctional teenagers. Throughout his life, Karl has been an avid runner and has always shared his home with a rotating cast of beloved dogs and cats—companions who have been constant witnesses to his work. As a writer, Karl's range is as expansive as his history. He works across a wide breadth of genres, including fiction and short stories, autobiography and memoir, biography, non-fiction, and metaphysical writing, as well as providing sharp commentary, opinion, analysis, and essays. Whether writing about his years managing the Harrogate Arms or offering insights from his current adopted home in South East India, where he lives in a simple village with his dog, Bambi, Karl's voice reflects the full, untidy, and deeply human breadth of life. He continues to draw on the rich, decades-long tapestry of his experiences to tell stories that matter, proving that no matter where you live, the human story remains the same.
