How to heal Sacral Chakra - Beginner's 101 Guide

Transcript

[Music] in today's video I'm sharing practical ways to heal the sacral chakra now the human body has different oric layers and if you were to separate them out they would look something like this now an easy way to connect the oric layers with the chakras is think of layer one housing chak chakra 1 layer 2 housing chakra 2 and so on for our discussion today we will focus on the second layer of the oric body which houses the sacral chakra now at a physical body level this chakra is located 2 in below the navl and going by its location the associated organs are kidney bladder and reproductive organs so by extension we can say that the the second chakra has everything to do with sex and our gender now the second chakra is also connected to birthing children which is a form of creative expression and so our creativity is also connected to the second layer of the oric body and anytime we have problems in kidneys bladder or reproductive organs those can sometimes point to imbalances in the second chakra now the level of Mind associated with the second oric layer is called the instinctual mind another way to say this is that if we could discern how this second layer thinks we would say that it thinks it communicates through instincts also called instinctual behavior that which is pre-programmed in you that which you do without thinking the Primitive part of you so as an example we have all heard about a mother's instinct she intuitively knows when the baby is crying how to sue the baby and this is something no one has to teach her she just knows another example would be say someone cuts you off in traffic you immediately respond either in anger or rage now whenever there is a negative instinctual response that is going to be associated with big emotions of fear anger rage and the likes and so at one level we can say that our instincts and emotions are interrelated and the more unhealed pain we have chances are we are going to react in stressful situations rather than responding to them because our unaddressed pain tends to color our perceptions it tends to color how we look at people places things times and events now the second layer of the aura is the realm of feelings and emotions and unless we clear the pain in the second chakra we are going to struggle with seven core emotions of unworthiness Shame and guilt lack of trust self-doubt betrayal abandonment anger rage fear entrapment and enslavement now thoughts and emotions they form a continuous feedback loop and so when we struggle with negative emotions it's a given we are also going to struggle with negative thinking with negative thoughts now with what we have discussed so far as a baseline let's talk about how we become aware of the contents recorded in the second chakra now unlike other chakras the way we become present to the content in the sacral chakra is through through our interaction with other people and other people can include our parents primary caregivers siblings extended family friends colleagues members of opposite sex and even our children you know it is in our relating and relationships with others that we start to become present to our negative emotions our instinctual behaviors our NC reactions and even our emotional pain and conflicts so as an example say a person has gone through divorce or a heartbreak during such events they become acutely aware of their emotional pain and misery now when it comes to the second layer of the oric body the conditioning of this layer starts early in childhood through early interactions with your parents or caregivers that really starts to set the tone of how you are wired at an emotional level and again the quality of your relationship with your mother your father and how you were raised determines how you respond to situations at an emotional level so for example say you experien trauma in your early life that's going to color how you respond in stressful situations similarly say your parents were emotionally unavailable during your early years that could potentially cause emotional blockages the point being is when we have pain carried over from childhood and it's not addressed the child part in US becomes wounded and it's also called the wounded inner child and this unaddressed childhood pain can create a lot of unnecessary drama and conflict in your adult life now on that note sometimes children can internalize conflict with either parent and that can negatively impact their masculine and feminine energies now early interactions also includes relationship with siblings with extended family members and again the quality of these relationships dictates your emotional health and well-being you know when you Club all the early interactions with your parents siblings extended family all of them together they form the foundation or the blueprint of your emotional body and this blueprint dictates how you will relate to other people so as an example when you look at your relationships at this now moment in time reflect upon are you always assertive do you take responsibility in relationships do you stand in personal power and autonomy can you establish healthy boundaries or or do you end up in codependent relationships now how you respond is obviously not set in stone but if you want to change your relationship Dynamics you first have to be present to how you are showing up now moving along another big theme of the second layer body is sexuality who you are attracted to and why a lot of times it's an instinctual response now the sacral chakra also influences how you relate to the opposite sex for example do you see men and women as equal or do you think women are subservient to men chances are if you grew up in patriarchy unconsciously you may still accept that men call all the shots even though intellectually you know it to be otherwise now sexuality also includes themes of gender disc Foria gender mutilation and any issue pertaining to gender in general you know our gender energies or sexual energies are sacred and when there's a misuse or abuse of sexual energies it adds to pain and misery in the sacral chakra now another theme of the sacral chakra is addictions now when people are oblivious to their emotions to how they feel then a lot of time their negative emotions will outwardly manifest as addictions and this could be addiction to anything food money power sex social media Netflix tea coffee nicotine I mean the list is endless in 21st century so the bottom line is anytime there is emotional trauma you are going to see addiction of one sort or another now our desires are also housed in this layer and desire could be for anything like insatiable desire for money for sex for power control all of it stems from the second layer now the second layer is also called the lower emotional body because when we are operating from second chakra we are emotionally reactive emotionally we are on an automatic and we are not thinking through things and now let's talk about practical steps you can take to heal the second chakra my number one suggestion is really commit to your emotional awareness so that you are aware of your emotional pain conflicts behaviors and even challenges that's how you start to get present to how you are wired emotionally you know we can't change our instinctual responses without being aware of them another way to heal the sacral chakra is to really commit to Healing your inner child because the relationship you have with yourself that lays the foundation for every single relationship in your life and as you become more loving to yourself to your inner child you start to change the lens through which you see other people of how you relate to them of how you give and receive love and that in turn changes your relationship Dynamics perhaps the most Headway you can make in healing the second chakra is to actively work towards addressing your negative emotions that is not sweeping them under the rug or keeping a tight lid on them especially if your goal is unblocking the sacral chakra then you've got to commit to your inner work for example being able to identify your emotions of anger fear rage shame frustration in real time and add pressing them without shutting down without analyzing without overidentifying with them that's the Hallmark of a well-developed emotional body now another way to heal the second chakra is to consciously work towards addressing your addictions and depending upon the situation professional intervention may be required but as you let go of your addictions I can say this from personal experience it becomes so much easier to be present with yourself with your thoughts and emotions now an important theme we discussed earlier in the video was our sexuality and this is one area that can hold a lot of pain and mystery so healing the misuse and abuse of sexual pain whether it was intentional or unintentional on that note addressing any dysfunctional fears generated in sexual relationship ships because when you leave them unaddressed it can give rise to perversions to fetishes which is again not healthy for the healing of sacral chakra now a important way to heal the sacral chakra is to address the pain lodged in our relationships and this include every single relationship with our parents with siblings with friends family social work every single relationship is a fertile ground for healing our sacral chakra and what we need to do is bring the pain in the second chakra into our heart and transmute it dissolve it with unconditional love and forgiveness what we are essentially doing is we are moving the pain from the lower emotional body which is our second chakra to the higher emotional body which is our fourth chakra or our heart now when the second layer is not healed our definition of Love gets skewed because as long as we are operating from our instincts from our pain our actions and responses are going to be devoid of love as long as we are relating to other people from our second chakra we often confuse love with lust or power money sex or control and of course you and I both know that love is none of those things and the thing is that until you open your heart until you start tapping into your higher emotional body you really don't know what love is now based on our discussion so far perhaps you can now understand why second chakra is one of the hardest chakras to master because healing this layer means addressing your emotional pain mastering your emotions getting to the root cause of why your emotions are there acknowledge them without shutting down now in parting I want to briefly talk about the importance of setting realistic expectations when it comes to clearing your chakras you know when I started meditation like most people I quickly wanted to open my higher chakras tap into feelings of love expansion and that's all nice and dandy and I feel at one level we all crave Divine love and presence that's why we all want to hurry up and open our higher chakras however if we don't clear our emotional pain from this second chakra we can sustain those higher levels of awareness I want you to think of your seven chakras as different floors on a tall building and without a strong Foundation which is basically chakra 1 2 and 3 your building will eventually topple you know one of my teachers often says that Ascension is 99% emotional clearing in other words we can spiritually evolve without clearing our emotional pain and without mastering our relationships and when you think of all the complexities in human relationships in human relating and all the pain that is lodged there that is what needs to be cleared for the effective functioning of the sacral chakra and this of course takes time and energy especially in the initial stages but as you put in the hard work as you stay put with determination with perseverance eventually you will heal your sacral chakra I hope the suggestions we talked about in this video are supportive in your healing Journey now in the description below I have added links to the Articles
