Shape:
Swadhisthana is described as a black lotus, with six vermillion-colored petals. Inside of this lotus is a white crescent moon, formed by two different sized inner circles, one inside of the other. The crescent moon is the water region presided over by Varuna, who is white in color, four-armed, holds a noose and is seated on a crocodile. The two inner circles also have petals, the larger one has eight outward facing petals, and the smaller one has eight inward facing petals.
The Swadhisthana hakra lies about three centimetres above the Muladhara Chakra between the coccyx and the sacrum. It marks the second stage of human evolvement. In earlier periods of evolvement the seat of the Kundalinī Shakti was located in this Chakra, but in Kali Yuga , our present age, spiritual energy has sunk down into the Muladhara Chakra – into unconsciousness - because of the rampant materialism and egoistic behaviour of humans..jpg)
Swadhisthana is located near the tailbone, two finger-widths above the Muladhara chakra. It has six petals which match the following modes of consciousness, also known as vrittis: affection, pitilessness, feeling of all-destructiveness, delusion, disdain and suspicion.
Its corresponding point in the front of the body (i.e. its kshetram) is at the pubic bone.

Petals

Swadhisthana is associated with the unconscious, and with emotion. It is closely related to the Muladhara in that Svadhisthana is where the different samskaras (potential karmas), lie dormant, and Muladhara is where these samskaras find expression. It is associated with the element of water, the sense of taste, and the act of procreation.
Swadhisthana contains unconscious desires, especially sexual desire, and it is saidto raise the kundalini shakti (energy of consciousness) above Swadhisthana is extremely difficult for this reason. Many saints have had to face the sexual temptations associated with this chakra.
Through meditation on Swadhisthana the following siddhis or occult powers are said to be obtained. One is freed from all his enemies, and becomes a lord among yogis. His words flow like nectar in well-reasoned discourse. One gains loss of fear of water, awareness of astral entities and the ability to taste anything desired for oneself or others.
