Exploring the Swadisthana (Sacral) Chakra - A Research-Based Perspective

By Tanmay Bhati -


        The Swadisthana Chakra, often referred to as the sacral chakra, is a key element in traditional yogic philosophy and energy systems. Located in the lower abdomen, just below the navel, the Swadisthana Chakra is associated with various aspects of human experience, including creativity, sexuality, and emotional well-being. 


Exploring the Swadisthana (Sacral) Chakra

Anatomical and Physiological Correlations -

    The Swadisthana Chakra is often linked to the reproductive and pelvic regions, which encompass the reproductive organs and associated structures. Research indicates that the autonomic nervous system, responsible for regulating involuntary bodily functions, plays a crucial role in the areas associated with the Swadisthana Chakra. The sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system are intricately connected to emotional and sexual responses, aligning with the traditional understanding of the sacral chakra's influence on emotions and creativity.


Emotional and Psychological Aspects -

    The Swadisthana Chakra is traditionally associated with emotions, particularly those related to pleasure, passion, and creativity. Scientific studies in psychology and neuroscience support the idea that certain brain regions, such as the limbic system, are involved in emotional processing and regulation.


Furthermore, research on the neural correlates of creativity suggests that the brain's default mode network, which involves spontaneous and imaginative thinking, may play a role in the creative aspects associated with the Swadisthana Chakra. 


Holistic Health and Wellness -


    In holistic health practices, the balance and alignment of the chakras are believed to contribute to overall well-being. Research in mind-body medicine emphasizes the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, and physical health. Practices that involve mindfulness, meditation, and yoga, including those focused on the Swadisthana Chakra, have been associated with reduced stress, improved emotional regulation, and enhanced quality of life.


       As research in mind-body connections continues to evolve, the exploration of chakras like Swadisthana contributes to a broader understanding of the intricate interplay between spirituality, science, and holistic well-being.

Trividha Nadi's - Ida, Pingala and Sushumna

  The fundamental question is, in a day, how much of your thoughts, emotion, physical activity, breath, heartbeat and everything else is conscious. - Sadhguru The Nadi's that  has always kept me captivating. It's like when i was in school, I heard about Ida, Pingala and Sushumna Nadi. But then these were mere mysteries, because Yoga was then unknown to me. Then after years of practicing, the series of asana, and keeping awareness of breath while maintaining the mahamudra, I began feeling the zilt of these Nadi's. I came across a subtle feeling that can only be felt and cant be explained. The left and right part inside my body are being distributed in genealogical form. It made me sensitive to vibration, and these vibrations were happening in these nadi's that brought change in me, a change impossible to explain with mere words.  - Tanmay Bhati  Ida, Pingla and Sushumna Nadi If we are not living in our bodies, honoring them as our temple. We are closing off the divine ch

"Listen to the Un-struck Sounds and What Sifts Through That Music"- Rumi An unstruck sound, deep inside the matter, when closely examined through magnification, can bump your ears with the Soundless Sound of vibrations, These are the strings of the quarks, or so, The Anahad Naad, a cosmic sound, that depicts a completeness of oneself, One who can hear this Naad, is so extrasensory perceptible, that he can know the entire working of the cosmos, and attains Nirvikalpa Samadhi. -Tanmay Bhati   Anahada Naad, An Un-struck Sound -     If you started out knowing everything theoretically, then there is no magic or wonder occurring in the cosmos. Here, I've connected the String Theory with the so-called Anahad Naada, a soundless sound. Since every particle in the universe, whether it contains life or not, is vibrating constantly. Additionally, practically everything in the universe has a fundamental sound that we are unable to perceive with our usual senses. As we move closer to t

Energy and Kundalini

  Energy and Kundalini Everything around us, including the silent mimicry of trees during the rainy season, the flow of water, the beauty of a rainbow, the free flow of an artist at his highest level of precision, the dance of the peacock, and the fragrance of a flower, transpires without flow when we are in our actual conditions, unquestionably in its most natural state, this is what Kundalini means. Kundalini awakening is not a process, it is the transformation of a physical being to an energy being, more subtly.   A 2017 study published in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology looked at the connection between spiritual experiences and Kundalini activation. The research discovered a variety of spiritual experiences, including mystical encounters, feelings of oneness with the universe, and heightened intuition, was linked to Kundalini rising. Kundalini" means "coiled serpent." At the base of the spine, robust and dormant energy is thought to reside. The chakras, or en
