The sacral chakra is located in the lower abdomen between the navel and the pelvic region, and is orange in color and is also associated with creativity, joy, pleasure, hope, sexuality and self-confidence. The element associated with the Swadhisthana Chakra is water and just like water, the Chakra symbolizes softness and fluidity but also immense power.

It is also the seat of the subconscious in which all the experiences and impressions of our life are stored.
