Guest guest Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Well, Elektra, Svadhisthana is talking to you because guilt is the demon of the second chakra. Listen to it and try to acknowledge and release it. Here's what Anodea Judith said about guilt and the second chakra in 'Eastern Body, Western Mind:' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Guilt curtails the free flow of movement, largely by taking the pleasure out of it. If I feel guilty about what I am doing, I do not fully enjoy it. I cannot fully sense the experience as one part of me is frozen off, restricting or trying to control what I am doing. Guilt polarizes the personality. It divides light against dark, good against bad. We are wonderful one day and horrible the next, all because of something we did. The brighter the light, the darker the shadow. The greater the guilt, the more we try to emancipate ourselves by flawless behavior. Flawless behavior inhibits the natural flow of energy moving up from the lower chakras and tends to polarize mind and body. A polarized personality is characterized by either-or thinking. Without the multiplicity of the rainbow, we find ourselves locked in black-and-white choices. There is, or course, a healthy place for guilt: as a feeling that allows us to examine our behavior before, during, or after our actions. When it’s not distorted, guilt tells us where the boundaries are and where we need to make change. In its appropriate place as feedback, guilt is not a demon but a guide. It is only when guilt becomes excessive, habitual, internalized, and toxic that it dominates the free flow of movement and the full sensate experience of life that is so necessary to the second chakra. Guilt is a teacher when it guides us, but a demon when it binds us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blessings & love to you, my friend, Claudia Elektra Fire <elektra.fire wrote: I've been feeling sh*t all day long, much guilt inside, I can see that it is this guilt that has closed down my sexual self. Lots of releasing going on, I've done a small fire ritual to burn some of my guilt and focused on forgiveness of self and others. Feeling weird, sore throat, edgyness. Hope I've achieved some good stuff, this guilt really needs to come out, it is also what causes my food allergies. I have been denying myself to feel pleasure, enjoy food, sex, desire.... The guilt in me shut it all down. I've been made to feel guilty my entire life by my family and teachers, by myself and the people around me. So much guilt, I think guilt is the thing I've felt most in my life, especially as a youngster. I'll keep on keeping on :-)) With all my love, have a wonderful day guys, Elektra x x x not guilty as charged.... ________ Want ideas for reducing your carbon footprint?
