The Svadhisthanna Chakra – the lower part of the fourth finger corresponding to the sacral plexus, urogenital system
The second chakra has six vermillion lotus petals.
The moon-shaped crescent is the yantra of this chakra.
The vital relationship between water and the moon is shown by
the crescent yantra within the white circle of the water chakra.
The aspects of Svadhisthana chakra are: procreation, family, fantasy. The earth element of Muladhara chakra dissolves into the water element of Svadhisthana chakra. Fantasy enters as the person begins interrelating with family and friends. The inspiration to create begins in the second chakra.
The seed mantra is Vam and the vital breath of the chakra is Prana.
Above the mantra is seated the presiding deity Vishnu, the lord of preservation,
in shining dark-blue, and he wears a dhoti of golden yellow.
