Level 2 of the platform, focusses on ‘Safety & security Life Skills’. A group of life skills tool us up to fulfil the needs prescribed by Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, at the ‘Protecting Level.’ In other words, now that we have what we need to survive, how do we ensure that we keep hold it all, and ensure it is available to us in the future.
In ancient times, when humankind lived in tribal caves, the skills needed would have looked more brutal than those which most households need in a more modern world today, but either way, the skills are based around the need for Safety and Security. We can think of this in the sense of personal, family and friend. All of these 3 can be affected by physical and psychological threats, both in person and online.
 The equivalent ‘second’ level of the Japanese five elements, is known as ‘Water  Element’, also known as ‘Sui’, which is symbolised by the by the kanji, ‘水’. 
It focuses on responding with power and direction. Therefore, water element teaches us that we can respond and protect, as a progression from surviving the moment through harmonius adaptation
The equivalent of the chakra system is called is  ‘Svadhisthana’, which focuses on emotions and intimacy. Svadhisthana teaches us that we have emotions and intimacy, and that drives an urge to look after what we have together. 
In this way we look to grown the community, to celebrate and be safe in numbers. It is known as the sacral chakra. It is written in sanskrit as स्वाधिष्ठान
Both of these systems at this level, deal with protection by safety and security of the basic needs on level 1.  Success on this level needs a good level of proficiency on level 1, such that one has time to step back and look at where threats come from, and so prepare and be ready. 
The virtues of this chakra are, joy, creativity, adaptability, sensuality, fertility, pleasure and sexuality.
