The second chakra is strongly associated with
the moon and thus female sexuality and lunar cycles. It is also the centre of (female)
intuition and emotions, and the creative nerve originates here. It largely controls one's
self-confidence and perhaps even more so one's ability to relate to other people in an open and
friendly way. Many emotional repressions from childhood can get stuck here.

Statement: I want / I desire
One should therefore note in connection to this chakra the interconnection between the sacral
(sacred) and the sexual!!! It is in this chakra that the kundalini snake (which has been coiled and
perhaps dormant (?) around the root chakra), lifts its head and lets the power rise up through the body,
up through the chakras - that is, if you let it. And in order for it to be able to rise
further, it is an absolute condition that you look at the sexual energy and experience your own sexuality,
as something positive, as the Gods' gift to humanity, and the second chakra as a jewel of a fountain
as the source of our most vital life energy.

Tiger eye
This is a stone that is good for increasing self-confidence. It also counteracts hypochondria and generally
psychosomatic disorders. It gives strength and endurance and the will to overcome obstacles. It can
calm nervous tension (which is often associated with emotions and sex). Hold the stone and look for a while into the stripes, then place it over your second chakra.

If you're in a relationship, it can also help you tune in to your loved one in a telepathic way.

Carnelian
Carnelian is a red-orange agate with an immense range of qualities. It has a masculine energy and has a
stimulating effect on the genitals and sex drive. Joy Gardner calls it the ginseng of stones! She recommends placing it on the lower abdomen for physical pain (e.g. menstrual cramps) and when you have been hurt by a lover. It's great for relieving muscle tension and acts as a small heating pad.
It also works well for tension in the shoulders and between the shoulder blades. And you can place it
over your second chakra for indigestion.

Carnelian is also an excellent stone for boosting self-confidence (wear it in a ring), and to say things that you have trouble saying. Highly recommended! It also promotes good humour and an optimistic attitude. Carneol has also been used to prevent skin disorders, and against nosebleeds (hold the stone against the neck).

Moonstone
I have to include the moonstone here. It can work in so many ways, but in relation to this chakra,
it can have a very positive impact both in terms of developing emotional sensitivity and
balancing oversensitivity. It's also great to wear if you're having trouble conceiving, and for a man
and for a man it will help to awaken his anima (his inner female part).

Jade
Green jade is an effective stone for kidney disorders.
