2. The second center of force, Swadhisthana chakra has as area of physical projection the area placed above the sexual organs, represents the sensual consciousness, imagination, and is associated with the sexual potential energy.

On a physical level, this center of force is responsible for desire, imagination, hallucinations, sensuality, and need to have a family. It is responsible for assimilation, procreation, lymphatic system, and menstrual secretions.

The yogic literature says that the disharmonious activation of this chakra may produce states of agitation and mental confusion.

The persons that are under the influence of this chakra may have an effect of "aspiration" of the psychic in a downward direction.

The persons that have predominance in the activation of this chakra are highly impressionable, have an active and fertile imagination, as well as the aptitude of verbalizing their perceptions - which makes them quite suited for guidance and healing.

"The person that focuses and meditates on this chakra and on the energies correspondent to it will not fear water. He may gain great psychic capacities, genial creative imagination, intuitive knowledge and a perfect mastering over the sexual function and of the senses and easily knows the astral worlds. Imprisoning passions, anger, attachments, vanity, jealousy, and other psychical impurities are easily cast away. Such a person will be young-looking, will have a great regenerative capacity, and finally overcomes death." (Swami Shivananda)
