This chakra goes beyond survival and takes the first step to self-actualisation. It's all about emotions, sexuality, relationships and abundance. An important key principle here is the pleasure principle. It teaches us that we humans feel drawn towards things/activities that please us, which is an indication for a safe situation :"Every perfect action is accomponied by pleasure. By that you can tell that you ought to do it." You can say that it is the next step to connect with your body and feelings in order to go to the next level of fullfilment. Wheareas a way to get stuck in this chakra is by overindulging in it. I'm sure that you noticed that experiencing pleasure is not why we are here for, although an imporant step to build self-esteem and to go beyond this chakra. Pleasure cannot be fullfilling as a whole, because it is unreal. All activities that seem to bring you your happiness, are used to distract you from your original sadness. So when you really want to experience JOY, try to meditate on your sadness when you are alone. Of course the oppsite is avoiding pleasure at all, and even in the western society there are still many people who do not have the ability to get some pleasure rolling. Pleasures and emotions are the roots of desire which leads to movement and change and conscioussness thrives on change.
I'll give you some examples for sexuality and relationships:
Fucking around like a rooster, will keep you trapped in your sexuality and makes you feel bad over all. The same with repression: Denying your feelings is denying your body mind and soul also which means denying god.
For relationships it could mean that when your front is closed you will have trouble approaching girls, because you will probably think that you are not enough and the feeling could be too strong for your will to overcome. Closed in the back could make problems with closing the deal.
The three major obstacles for modern man to overcome here are to realize that you:
1. are enough
2. have to let go of what is not needed and welcome change
3. are abundant
