Our chakras respond directly to how we think or feel. Positive emotions allow good energy to flow freely and negative emotions close or weaken the chakras. Positive emotions transmit positive vibrations to the universe which in turn attract to us manifestations associating with those emotions. Feeling of harmony brings harmony. Our exterior world is first created in our mind. Balancing or healing the sacral chakra starts with having good emotions that supports the sacral chakra.

The alternative color is gold and amber.
