XXXIII — Sacral Chakra – Water and Oils
The Sacral Chakra, though, does have a caveat to follow. The sensation of pleasure is all pleasing and can be all-consuming since a degree of passion is always present and enjoying this is natural and good. But as with all emotional charges, there must be a balance, a harmony where total abandonment to pleasure compromises the natural state of affairs and well being. We must avoid the obsessive entrapment and aim, instead, for the golden mean to enjoy the physical pleasures of life. Only by this practice can we be truly happy in enjoying the luxurious pleasures of the physical.
Sacral Chakra's element is water, and this necessitates the practitioner to seek out places where water is lively, loud, and is abundant. The sea or even the vast expanse of an ocean are perfect places to cajole and liven your Sacral Chakra. But if you cannot reach these watery planes, a river, or a small stream will be just as good and beneficial to you. Failing all of these, there are many sounds on social networking sites of water running or falling, and adapting these sounds to a quiet place will be just as fruitful to your Sacral Chakra.
When you listen to these sounds, as hitherto mentioned, the historical self will become banished and in its place, there will be an inner calm inviting the sounds to flow from the water into you. Since the Sacral Chakra is steeped in pleasurable delights, so should you be, and you should enjoy the pleasure of being filled with one of nature's richest treasures. The cascading falls of water and the energy released is yours and you should receive this heavenly gift. Afterwards, you will feel much rewarded and fulfilled, and what was asking before or lacking will become satiated and filled with a sense of well-being.
Jasmine, fennel, orange and lavender are favourite oils and aromas of the Sacral Chakra. Each exudes a floral scent which is passionate and like the oil and aromas of the Root Chakra, these oils quickly enter the body and stimulate the pleasure senses within us.
Foods which are wholesome to the Sacral Chakra are fruits in abundance like lemons, oranges, and lime along with melons and coconuts. All are rich in juice and most have that zest, that sparkle of life within each one, which helps to tickle and tease the Sacral Chakra and helps to arouse the sensation of pleasure within it.

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.
