Water, emotional identity, and an orientation to self-gratification are associated with the second chakra. Its corresponding developmental stage is six months to two years of age. This chakra is located in the abdomen, lower back, and sexual organs, making it a matrix for our emotions and sexuality. It connects us to others through feeling, desire, sensation, and movement. Ideally, it brings us fluidity and grace, depth of feeling, sexual fulfillment, and the ability to accept change. The demon of the second chakra is guilt.
