Quick testamonial-second chakra

[Guest guest]

Hi Loop-

 

I have been working on the second chakra for unrelated reasons

for about a month now, and was really surprised

just to have finished my monthly

cycle ~without~ mood swings and horrible cramps

(I've bought ibuprofen in bulk for years).

 

I hope it isn't a fluke. It is so extraordinary

for me to have a pain-free menses, I wanted to share.

 

My first three cycles while doing k-yoga had cramps as usual and

mood swings that were an entire order of magnitude worse than

usual. I for example completely lost my composure

over a minor difficulty with a clerk,

and I have never had such a thing happen before.

The point is, my difficulties

increased to an acute level before they disappeared.

 

Alongside the yoga practice focusing on the second

chakra came much introspection leading to

some empowering conclusions/decisions related to my sexual life-

this seemed to happen pretty naturally alongside the practice.

This is the healing/growth I was going for in doing the second chakra

work, and I got even more than I hoped for.

 

Oh, my hair and nails are also growing much thicker/faster. :-)

I read with interest your e-mail, it seems another case of info coming when

you need it! I had been asking my teacher why I could feel so great, but

then run into a situation either with myself or other and it was like I got

one a slide and WHOOSH down I went along with my mood..lol...second chakra

she said..

 

Then your letter talking about your monthly cycle. I have the same problems,

as well as nails that refuse to grow even with a good diet. Eight dollar

bottles of nail enhancer don't work. And then Sadant's recommendations! Wow.

Must be my lucky day. Thanks you all. Its a little frustrating though that I

have been practising and I am still having second chakra issues. I guess

this is what I am judging my progress by....

 

P.S- Would you mind sharing you routine with me Ardas? My email is

Anyhow, enjoy the first day of spring !!

Hi Dara! I am glad that you got some encouragement from my post

about my progress with second chakra issues.

I didn't know why I was moved to write

that post, since I'm not usually prone to testamonials about anything

(since what works for one person may not work for another).

But it is just one more reminder for me to share as Spirit moves

me and trust that there is some purpose to it. :-)

 

I don't practice in an orthodox way and I designed my own

kriya for the second chakra. I read all the second-chakra commentaries

and reviewed all the second chakra sets that I could lay

my eyes upon, noted commonalities among authors, and asked

my gut. I did not do the same exercises every day either;

my routine was fluid. I think that fluidity is somehow connected

to the second chakra work and it was probably necessary

for me personally to progress.

 

There are obviously people here on the list who can well advise

you about appropriate sets. I am not one of them because

of the ideosyncratic way in which I work, so I think I will

pass your request on to others. I recommend learning to search the

list archives for topics of interest; doing so helped me a lot with my

researches.

 

I would enjoy a discussion of second chakra issues... I think for me, the

process of releasing a nervous/fearful

dependence on orthodoxy has been ~the~

second chakra issue... learning to seek/trust my own values and

thinking about my body, sexuality, emotions etc. Does anyone relate?

 

As a result of my recent growth spurt, I am finding myself more aware

of "fear-mongering" strategies of promoting orthodox thinking

whenever I encounter them.

I notice it when someone is using fear to sell a certain notion, and

I consciously decline. I think fear-based living is what I am

being strengthened to reject by doing this work.
