For sharing your energies in an open manner, it is essential to trust your partner. The root chakra is responsible for letting you trust your partner.

The second Chakra is the Sacral Chakra, and it is present between the root chakra and the belly button. This chakra governs the sex organs in the body. Feelings of guilt and shame can negatively influence the sacral chakra and would prohibit an individual from enjoying sexual intimacy like the one they are supposed to. Acceptance is the aspect affected by this chakra. Unless and until you accept yourself as a sexual being and your partner as well, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy intimacy.
