The Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras

Hi folks !

Life's getting better?!

I take it that you have started thinking seriously over your ROOT or THE FIRST CHAKRA and are spending some time meditating over it.

If you have, you will have started to feel calmer.

Let's recap this.

The ROOT CHAKRA is about our feelings of Safety, Security,Survival and our grounding in the physical world. Its about understanding and conquering our fears, about rooting them out of our minds and feeling lighter and more open to life.

Even if certain things seem illogical and unjust, we have to trust that there is a bigger picture which we are not aware of right now, and also that we will get to it.

Sooner, if we are open to accepting it.

The SACRAL or THE SECOND CHAKRA is just below the navel and is about feelings, relationships and sexuality. After getting over individual fears, this is all about creating partnerships and sexual and reproductive capacity.

The energy of this Chakra ensures that we learn our chosen spiritual lessons through our relationships. It gives us the wisdom to see an enhancing one through and teaches us to close one which is sapping and debilitating. Even a failed relationship teaches lessons which are valuable for our overall growth. We have to start again with faith and not fear.

Most of our digestive problems can be traced to a Sacral which is not functioning correctly, which is blocked. It also leads to depression and problems related to the sexual organs like impotence and infertility.

An overactive one would lead to dissatisfaction in these same areas.

The SOLAR PLEXUS is our THIRD lower CHAKRA and it is the seat of emotions and ego.

Remember your stomach curling or feeling a pit right in your stomach ? Thats because it's the core of our being and diligently stores all the emotons felt. Mainly, all the fears. This is also the reason why this is the seat of our self-esteem and self-respect.

A properly functioning Solar gives us a sense of personal power and well-being. When blocked, there will be anger and fear and painful consequences.

An overactive one would throw us off-kilter too.

The 3 lower Chakras ground us to our reality, to mother-earth. These are the three that we work out of fear. Fear or sheer basic survival, of sexuality and reproductive ability and of self-esteem. They hold all the basic issues essential for our physical survival.

Many who are attracted to the spiritual path, tend to ignore their physical and mental needs. They may not invest enough in a relationship, or if it has not worked out, they are unable to let it go. They push it deep into their mind's dark recesses and think their brand of spirituality will help them 'get over it'.

No brand of spirituality can do that.

One should not try to 'get over' anything.

'Go 'through' it.

The longer you take to face these issues, the deeper they go and fester painfully until they explode.

Feel them, learn to watch them dispassionately and let go.

Meditate.

Meditate.

Meditate.

The chakras above these pertain to the emotional and mental energies.From tangible, we move to the intangible.

ALL the chakras function all the time. Like many parts of our body work at the same time. Without waiting for our permission, to the best of their abilities.

Overeating and starving will cause harm.

Similarly,an uncontrolled or tightly leashed mind is going to upset the Chakras and consequently cause physical, mental and spiritual harm.

So become aware and remain aware.
