II. Water Chakra

Located: Abdomen Deals with: Pleasure Blocked by: Guilt

Look at all the guilt that burdens you so. What do you blame yourself for?

~~~~~~~~~~

I feel guilty whenever I take care of myself before anything else. I take naps when my body physically can do no more. I slept for 12 hours last night because I couldn’t stay awake. 

And I feel bad about that. I have so much to do and not enough time to do it, I don’t have the time to sleep as often as I do. But I do it anyway. 

I blame myself for a lot of my mental illness. I know it’s not my fault I have it, but I should do better about taking care of it. I don’t do everything I could to make myself function better with it, I don’t always take my medication. 

~~~~~~~~~~

Now accept the reality that these things happened. But do not let them cloud and poison your energy. If you are to be a positive influence on the world, you need to forgive yourself.

Svadhishthana (Sacral Chakra)

Situated in the reproductive area, the svadhishthana chakra is a water based chakra that relates to sexuality, creativity, emotions and feelings. 

This chakra tends to be blocked by eating disorders, low self-confidende, unbalanced emotions, dependency issues and low libido. As you may have noticed sexuality and the flow of connections is an important part of this chakra so if you are having issues with relationships, or how you view and life your sexuality it could probably go with some work. Once you are done you will be more confident in your relationships and connections, feeling more balanced in your emotions and creativity.

Some ways to heal it are: 

POSSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS: I FEEL

I am a sensual and creative being. I attract only whole and nurturing relationships. My senses are alive and connected. I embrace life with passion and feel abundant joy. I am radiantly beautiful, healthy and strong. 

CRYSTALS:

Red and brown aventurine, red garnet, red jasper, carnelian. 

AROMATHERAPY:

Orange, tangarine,neroll, jasmine, rosewood, clary sage, grape fruit, bergamot, geranium. Specially in baths. 

SOUND THERAPY: 

Keynote: D

Frequency: 288 Hz

YOGA POSES: 

Trikonasana, bhujangasana, natarajasana, badhakonasana.

WITCHY TIP: 

Water magic and spells, obviously. Meditate around water, give yourself baths (with the aromas I’ve put above). If creativity is the issue try one of those creativity challenges, to get the juices going. 

Quick ritual to help get rid of those pesky thoughts blocking your chakra? Try writting in your skin with ink all of them negative feelings and thoughts about your sensuality, sexuality, emotions and relationships and stay in the bath untill most of them are gone or blurred. To finish it you can scrub them away with salt. 

As always with water related magic, try to tag along with the moon cycles.

Accept the reality that these things happened, but do not let them cloud and poison your energy. If you are to be a positive influence on the world, you need to forgive yourself.

The Chakra's of Avatar Korra: Opening the Water Chakra

“You must gain balance within yourself before you can bring balance to the world.” 

Shall we begin? 

-----

This is the Water Chakra, known as the Swadhisthana. It is located at the sacrum and it's color is vermilion or orange. The Swadhisthana deals with pleasure and is blocked by guilt and shame.

If the guilt and shame that blocks this chakra is not dealt with it can poison our energies and if left unchecked it will eat us alive. Guilt clouds our judgement pulling us away from the positive as we come to feel deep down that we don't deserve anything positive. Negativity takes hold and overflows making it impossible to stay in balance with the the world around us and the people we care about the most.

Carrying these feelings are like climbing a mountain and for every time you hit your toe on a rock you pick it up to carry it with you. It may be simple to carry at first but as time passes the weight becomes unbearable, slowing you down and ultimately keeping you from reaching the top. In order to open this chakra you must address your guilt and your shame. What is it that you feel guilty or ashamed of?

  Accept and embrace your guilt and shame for they are your feelings and these moments have happened. They are yours alone and you must face them, because in ignoring them you allow guilt a back door into your mind. Only you can control how you react and the act of examining, owning and letting go of our guilt allows us to reach a higher level in spirituality. If you stub your toe as you climb the mountain, stop and pick up the offending rock. Look at the problem, learn from it and then place it back on the ground. Become aware of the rocks that make you stumble and you will learn to recognize and avoid them. 

In addition to to this (and this is the most important part) you must learn to forgive yourself. It is arguably the hardest lesson the Water Chakra has to teach, because forgiving others comes so easily in comparison to forgiving ourselves. Yet we must forgive ourselves in order to heal not only our own spirits but that of others.
