Svadhistana represents sweetness. The purpose of this chakra is movement and relation, hence the element is water to represent a flow.
The energy is focused on emotions and sensations with regards to pleasure and desire. The Weekness is expressed in the form of guilt. Location of this chakra is the lower abdomen.
When our senses receive a new sensation it leads to feelings which leads to emotions and finally a reaction. Although these steps seem instinctual, with true awareness the emotions would no longer govern our reaction.
The movement aspect of this chakra does not pertain only to energy but also to the body. Nervousness makes us shake, sadness makes us limp or we control our anger my gritting our teeth. So the body is a way to release energy as well as conserve.
An object of desire is not necessary but the feeling of desire is the soul's longing to move forward.
Knowing our feelings defines our desire and knowing our desire clarifies our Will.
"You are what your desire, and this desire drives your Will And your will reflects in your deeds and your deeds lead you to your destiny." - Brhadaranya Upanishad
