Part 2/8:
The second chakra, associated with emotion, pleasure, and sensuality, plays a significant role in personal and social expression. According to the text “Eastern Body, Western Mind” by Anodea Judith, the second chakra is linked to various aspects of life. Deficiencies in this chakra often manifest in rigid attitudes, fear of social interactions, and lack of passion. Conversely, excess in energy can lead to over-sensitivity and emotional dependency. Thus, yoga practices aim to balance these characteristics and cultivate an empowered and harmonious emotional state.
