It is located on the spine near the reproductive organ and faces towards both, the front and back. This Chakra processes the energy in the aura and provides Jaltattva (water element) to the body. Water is the protective element in nature. It provides protection from destruction of the Akashtattva (space element), agitation of the Vayutattva (air element), and heat and speed of the Agnitattva (fire element). Its main function is in the fluids in the body such as blood, hormones, urine, sweat, saliva, semen and lubricants.

Swadhishthan Chakra is the center of creation in the body. It is represented by orange colour. Conservation is its subtle quality. Physical and mental development is dependent upon this Chakra. Sexual feelings originate from here. Jaltattva plays the important role of maintaining the flexibility, moistness and softness in the body. Sweating ensures temperature regulation in the body. Lubrication keeps the joints functioning smoothly. Blood provides nutrients to all cells in the body. Kidneys are able to discard the waste products through urine. Saliva and enzymes play a crucial role in digestion. Jaltattva is associated with emotions. A person whose Swadhishthan Chakra functions efficiently is sociable, loving and creative. If the Swadhishthan Chakra is weakened, the body experiences deficiency of Jaltattva. Due to this saliva, sweat, urine, lubricants and semen are reduced. This results in dryness in the body and lack of emotional warmth. If Swadhishthan Chakra becomes hyperactive, excess Jaltattva gets accumulated. The person becomes excessively emotional, suspicious and skeptical. Physical and psychological development slows down.
