Product Description
The 2nd, or Swadisthana chakra located in the area near the sexual organs. Color is warm orange and expresses the element of water with its message of flexibility and fluid movement toward non-attachment. The qualities of the 2nd chakra are exemplified in these flower essences:
Almond Essence for its moral vigor or integrity, self control or moderation in all activities and thoughts, and it’s interiorized yet strong flow of energy.
Blackberry Essence for innocent purity of thought in transitioning from the simplicity of the 1st chakra, and sense of honor, seeing the best in others, and intuitive perception, as well as an awareness of higher realities.
Fig Essence for a water-like flexibility to “go with the flow” which also implies relaxed self-acceptance, and for a sense of humor.

Affirmation: Affirm mentally, with a sense of deep inner peace and freedom
I flow ever freely with the tides of grace.
Meditation on the Second Chakra: Water Element
First, center your consciousness about an inch and a half above the base of the spine. Mentally chant AUM at that chakra. Look up at the point between the eyebrows. Feel the energy of the second chakra being directed upwards, toward that point.
Imagine yourself standing up to your neck in a river. Feel the water on your body. Let your body melt into the river as though it were made of sand. The river gently flows around you. Whatever comes, let it come. Whatever passes by you, let it pass. You are free. You own nothing; you are owned by nothing. You own no one; no one owns you. Offer everything that you own into that flow, and let it be taken away. Be free and complete in yourself.
Chakra Challenge Journaling for the 2nd Chakra’s Water Element
1. The 2nd chakra is very intuitive and creative. What is my understanding of what intuition is? Do I feel I use mine often, and if so, in what ways do I use it?
2. What does creativity mean to me? How do I evaluate my own level of creativity? Do I feel stifled with too few opportunities to be creative? How can I change that?
3. Am I able to flow with life’s changes? Or am I too wishy-washy, easily swayed by other’s opinions, unable to make and/or stick by my decisions? What can I do to change my attitudes in this area?
4. How do I feel about sexuality and spirituality in myself and in others?
5. Do my first and second chakras work well with each other? That is, am I able to remain loyal to truth as I perceive it, and still able to be as flexible or open-minded as needed, especially in new or unknown situations? What do I need to work on, to find balance between these 2 chakras?
6. How do I experience and relate to the water element within me?
7. What insights have I gained on the 2st Chakra Blend, especially during the first 3 days?
8. Now set aside all thoughts of what you have read or heard about this chakra. Close your eyes and meditate on the 2nd chakra for at least 5 minutes. What does it look like to you – shapes, colors, forms, symbols? What does it smell like, taste like, sound like, feel like? Draw a picture or make a simple abstract diagram of what you saw or felt in your meditation. Write a poem or a few lines of verse or prose to go with this chakra. What music or chant do you know that would give the feeling of this chakra, either your own musical composition or someone else’s?
Testimonials for the Flower Essences
My husband, myself and my 2 children have been using the flower essences for the last 4 months and I feel they have really addressed and dealt with problems that we knew and many we didn’t know of. The essences are very powerful and deeply spiritual in nature. My family started with orange and strawberry flower essence and within a week of taking them we are felt uplifted and with a deeper and higher energy and free from a many issues. Since then we have taken many different ones as had been indicated by the test and each time the essence prescribed has been exactly what was needed to fix the problem at that point in time. For us the essences have opened a new, deep, and very powerful door allowing us to improve ourselves and evolve. I deeply recommend everyone should take them. ~ S.P., New Delhi

I was going through a ‘big’ situation of change of work, from working in a comfortable job as a Head of Finance in a large multinational company, to deciding to start my entrepreneurship in the area that really attracted me of people development as a trainer and life coach. I was badly ‘caught’ in the test, as it felt like a very confusing change to me. My mind was mostly puzzled, unclear and I really didn’t know if I was even thinking right! The only thing I was sure of then, was that I needed to somehow put all my energies in trying to do what felt right, even if it was very difficult. It was the tomato flower essence that provided that extra Mental Strength and ability to Endure with a deep sense of patience and calmness. With endurance came also the ability to Focus and I found my-self changing almost immediately and started to view ‘difficulties’ on the way, as ‘opportunities’! ~ Dipti Bhatia, Gurgaon
I am a homeopathic practitioner since 18 years. I have gone through the book The Essential Flower Essence Handbook. After my in-depth studies, I prescribed more than 100 essences to my patients, especially on their mood and nature. I used Avocado Essence for memory and concentration in school children and observed their results are improving from their next test only. I used Cherry Essence for cheerfulness and Pineapple for confidence. In the next follow up patients reported that they feel improvement as soon as they took the first drop. Many patients have started reading The Essential Flower Essences Handbook and want to know more about the essences for their use and help others also. ~ Dr. Ketan Shah, MD (Homeopath), Ahmedabad
I have two sons, both are very active children. My elder son is diagnosed with ADHD (mild). I get overworked due to many personal reasons and i tend to loose my peace and sense of balance. I have been working very hard with my elder one, but now seems to loose my patience. One day on some refernce i contacted Dipti ji and she adviced Tomato and Spinach essences for me. This worked very well, specially Spinach essence. I am trying Avocado essence for my child now. ~ R.S.
Jena came from North East and joined me as assistant sales executive in my office. First week went off well. The second week I found her disturbed and most distracted. Turned out she had lost her mother some time back and she was missing her that day. And all in all she was demotivated to concentrate on work. Corn Essence was handy. One dose under the tongue and 20 minutes later Jena was sitting in front of me asking me how to deal with a certain difficult customer! ~ Kamini, Bangalore
