Sacral Chakra: Blockages and Imbalance
Like other aspects of our life, there may be elements that cause imbalance to your Svadisthana chakra. You may not know it, but there are obvious signs and symptoms when your sacral chakra is blocked or imbalanced.
Every chakra in your body is interconnected. This means if one chakra is experiencing blockages of imbalance, all the others are affected. The flow is disrupted, which leads to mind, body, and spirit struggles.
A blocked sacral chakra can manifest in two ways, namely, underactive and overactive.
Underactive Sacral Chakra
When the sacral chakra is underactive, it means that the chakra is not distributing to the energy flow. An underactive sacral chakra also means that there is a blockage in that certain energy point.
When your chakra is blocked or underactive, you may lose your sense of control in coping with changes. The blockages may detach you from your emotions and those around you.

Overactive Sacral Chakra
This is the opposite of the underactive sacral chakra. You can only have enough of the things in the world. Too much of everything is not suitable for you. The same goes for the energy of the sacral chakra.
When the sacral chakra is overactive, it means it is distributing too much energy. The activity is excessive and causes an imbalance in the flow of energy. When this energy point is filled with too much, this will overwhelm you. You may become oversensitive, feel emotions more intensely, experience mood swings, and more.
