The Japanese Phrase Hara means ones true nature as a human being. The Hara and the Sacral chakra are one in the same. This chakra connects us to creativity, sexual energy, zest for life, and our emotional connection to others/surroundings.

It is best to invision the Sacral as an electrical outlet where you get plugged into the show of life. When you are plugged in correctly there is an energy flow where you can act out your true nature with ease. If you are not plugged in properly there is little energy for you to function.
