The second chakra is the svadhishthan. Its color is orange and its beej mantra is Vum. Vum is said like Some. At the first chakra Muladhara we are just beings. At svadhishthan we start to become humans. The literal meaning of the word Sva-Adhishtan means the abode of the self. It is the chakra which lets us have connections and interactions with other beings. It is also the seat of the subconscious. Hence alongwith Muladhara it is the place where past trauma gets stored.
It is also the center for creation. Literal creation of an offspring. But also any creation, be it any kind of art. A open svadhishthan means high creative energy. It is also the center for pleasure.
The element for this chakra is taste. The taste for food in particular, but also taste in aesthetics, beauty and art. It is also the center of emotion. It is connected to Vishudha chakra in terms of emotion. Remember that lump in the throat which comes sadness. The tongue and the lips are also connected to this Svadhishthan.
Visually it is shown as a hexagon. The upward pointing triangle and the downward pointing triangle in balance. For creation you need both the male and female energy playing with each other but in balance. The color of this chakra is orange. If a sadhu is wearing orange robes, most probably they keep svadhishthan as their center for sadhna. Red colored robes for Muladhar sadhna and Yellow ones for Manipura.
The mantra for this chakra is VUM. This is said like Come, or Some.
