15 Sacral Chakra Affirmations for Joy & Emotional Healing

What is the Sacral Chakra?

Chakras are energy centers in the body that help us find balance. When we tap into the chakras, we tap into the emotions and energies they hold. These energy centers give us an individual look at different ways to heal and connect with ourselves.

How to Use Sacral Chakra Affirmations 

Affirmations are a powerful & accessible way to practice energy healing. Popular in the world of manifestation, affirmations help create a positive mindset. In the spiritual community, mindset is everything. You may have heard the phrase “your thoughts create your reality.” That’s essentially the power behind affirmations. If you like, you could use chakra affirmations for each of the seven chakras.

Not to be confused with mantras, affirmations are positive, declarative statements. Mantras are universal codes encased in repetitive chants.  With affirmations, the power is in the words being stated. With mantras, the power is the energetic & audial vibration of the words. If you’re interested in chakra mantras, check out our piece on bija mantras for the chakras.

So when you use affirmations, you’re reaffirming the existence you’d like to see for yourself. If you remember to tell yourself every day: “I am grateful for everything I have,” it will eventually become part of your nature to exist in a state of gratitude.

Before we dive into our sacral chakra affirmations, let’s take a look at when you might need them.

What Imbalance in the Sacral Chakra Feels Like

With all chakras, there is a state of balance and imbalance. It’s constantly shifting, and there’s never an end-of-the-road moment when everything is perfectly aligned. As energy centers, chakras are always ebbing and flowing. With this practice, we’re not striving to make everything “perfectly balanced.” Instead, identifying imbalances is a way to help us make informed and intentional decisions when it comes to our spiritual and energetic healing.

Each of the chakras has its own unique set of imbalances and how they manifest. Some can even take the form of physical symptoms in the body. We’ll take a look at some imbalances for the sacral chakra here.

Poor Boundaries & Other Signs of an Underactive Sacral Chakra

When the sacral chakra is deficient, there’s a lack of empowerment when it comes to how we interact with the outside world. A common manifestation of this is poor boundaries: saying yes to everything, being afraid to stand up for yourself, etc.

Other signs of an underactive sacral chakra are:

• Lack of creative energies. When the sacral chakra is flowing and healthy, creativity is an easy and natural part of life. An underactive sacral chakra can mean creative energy is blocked.
• Shame around your sexuality. A powerful sacral chakra teaches you to embrace and respect your sexuality. If there is any fear or shame around the genitals and your sensuality, this means you may need to do some healing around the sacral chakra.
• Lack of passion. Depression, fatigue, and a general lackluster approach to life are clear signs of a blocked sacral chakra.
• Lack of confidence. A powerful sacral chakra wants you to express yourself in a passionate way. If you are not connected to your sense of self and your place in the world, this can be tied to an underactive sacral chakra.
• Lower back pain. Energetic frequencies often have physical manifestations. If you’re having chronic back pain, it may be tied to the energy of your sacral chakra. Prostate issues could also mean the sacral chakra needs balancing.

Emotional Overflow & Other Symptoms of an Overactive Sacral Chakra

Just as chakras can be deficient, they can also be overactive. Oftentimes, trauma or past circumstances teach us to strengthen and rely on certain emotions or ways of being. If there is an excess of energy within a chakra, it also needs balancing. Excess energy in the sacral chakra could mean that you thrive on drama, or easily experience emotional overwhelm.

Other signs of an overactive sacral chakra are:

• The constant need to receive pleasure. This often manifests as addictive personalities or extreme attachment to external things.
• Emotional overreactions. Though there are many reasons for emotions, chronic over-reactions or over-identification with the emotional body can indicate a hyperactive sacral chakra.
• A need for drama. Much like the previous sign, those who feed on unnecessary drama may want to create a more healthy relationship with their sacral chakra.
• Codependency. This is the chakra of sexuality and relationships. So, those who find their individual identity within a partnership or another person need to find balance within this chakra.
• Excessive sex drive. While pleasure and empowerment are necessary for a healthy emotional body, an unconscious attachment to external sources means deep healing is needed.
