Creative and Sexual Energy
The symbol of the second Chakra is a six-leaf, scarlet lotus flower. Along with the first Chakra, the second Chakra controls sexual energy. A person with a health second Chakra has strength, while a person with a blocked second Chakra easily feels fatigued.
The second Chakra mounts a defense system around the body to protect it from toxins in foodstuff, nervous disorders, and contragious diseases. It cleanses the body of deeply rooted tension and stress that inhibit procreative activities. Activation of the second Chakra also translates into maternal love and charity for others, resulting in harmonious relationships characterized by forgiveness and comfort. However, a blocked or impaired second Chakra may lead to negativity and jealousy, resulting in miscommunication with others. It may also lead to maternal love based on control and domination.

Source of All Energy
A four-leaf lotus flower with a deep red color represents the first Chakra. This Chakra is the place where the body meets the earth. It is the place where energy flows into the body. When this Chakra is weak, energy can also be lost through this area. The first Chakra is the source of all creation and growth, undulating with the pure energy of life. The fist Chakra must be fully functional in order to activate the other Chakras. It acts as a pump that helps the stream of energy rise along the spin. This imparts a sense of confidence and a love of life, creating a positive energy field that influence others.
A person with a healthy first Chakra is full of life and the will to grow. If your first Chakra is blocked or impeded, you will experience a lack of will, vigor, and passion. Without sufficient physical energy, the body cannot act as a solid anchor for consciousness, resulting in the lack of a sense of reality. This may result in the appearance of illness and oversensitivity to external circumstances. Spiritual richness can only arise with plenty of energy.

Locating the Chakras in Your Body
”Nae Gwan”directly translated, means “inner watching” Through Nae Gwan, you use the eye of your mind to look deeply into your body. You begin to awaken and activate the Chakras through deep relaxation and concentration. The law of energy movement, Shim-Ki-Hyul-Jung states: “Where mind goes, energy follows; where energy goes, blood follows; where blood goes, strength follows” Accordingly, we can activate the Chakras by concentrating with our mind. Let us exploere the sensation of each individual Chakra.
At first, due to unfamiliarity, it is difficult to feel the exact location of the Chakras within your body. The first step in the process is to identify the location of each Chakra and to focus on the feeling until you become familiar with its sensation. After a while, with concentration, you will quickly be able to locate the sensation of the individual Chakras.
As seen in the diagram, the Chakras are located roughly along the line of your spine. Because Chakras are energy centers, they do not necessarily correspond to specific anatomical locations. Since the Chakras are energy, they are not visible, like blood and bones. Therefore, it easier to try to imagine the exact location of each Chakra by locating its corresponding point on the front of the body. By identifying general physical landmarks on the front of the body, it will be possible to communicate the location of specific Chakras on which to concentrate.
The first and seventh Chakras do not have corresponding pints on the front of the body. However, the second Chakra corresponds to the lower Dahn-jon, the third Chakra to the Joong-wahn point, located tow inches above the navel, the fourth Chakra to the Dahn-joong, located at the sternum, and the fifth Chakra corresponds to the proverbial “third eye” on your forehead.
From the first through the seventh Chakra, we will touch upon the sensation of each individual Chakra.
