The Chakras are energy vortices of the energy body that comprise part of the energy system. When perfectly open and balanced, one is lead to the experience of a harmonious reality, connection to the Oneness in everything, and ultimately to union with the Divine Consciousness.
Svadisthana Yantra
Within Svadisthana is the white, shining, watery region of the shape of a half moon, stainless and white as the autumnal moon. He who meditates upon this stainless Lotus is free immediately from all his enemies. (Kama - lust, Krodha - anger, Lobha - greed, Moha - Delusion, Matsaryya - envy). - Sat Cakra Nirupana
Description of the Yantra
Number of petals: Four, symbolising the four directions and four qualities of bliss.
Colour: Vermilion in the ancient texts, but more generally orange today.
Element: Water, the essence of life.
Crescent moon: Regeneration.
Makara: Mythical fish-tailed alligator. Its serpentine movement reflects the sensuous aspects of someone dominated by their second chakra. The alligator is also associated with sexual power, as its fat was once used as an aid to male virility.
The Bija Mantra

Svadisthana’s bija mantra is VAM which, when spoken, nourishes and purifies body fluids and brings alignment with the waters.
Yantra Meditation for colour-breathing:
- Place the yantra in front of you.
- Begin breathing gently.
- Now start to ‘colour-breathe’ the orange hue of the six lotus petals. To do this, visualise the colour intensely as you breathe in - let orange flow around the inside of your body as you hold your breath for a moment; let it remove toxins and blocks from your body as you breathe out.
- After a minimum of ten minutes, begin to visualise the blue circle and the crescent moon at Svadisthana.
- Again continue for some minutes, as the Water element within your body is stabilised and the chakra balanced.
- When you are ready to finish, acknowledge the assistance you may have received from unseen realms and return to normal breathing.
- To prevent feeling ‘spaced out’ after a meditation, place a grounding stone under each foot during a meditation. When you finish, put both hands flat on the floor for a moment. Finally, relax and drink a glass of pure spring water.
