Problems Caused By Closed Chakras
For some people, reading about the chakra system is nothing more than entertainment. It’s little more than an interesting and pleasant diversion that they will probably stop thinking about as soon as they finish reading the book or article that they’ve picked up. However, those who actively implement the chakra system into their lives have found it to be a powerful tool for better understanding themselves- and for better understanding the problems that they have in life. The chakra system is, above all, a great way to diagnose and cure the various problems that you encounter in your life, working as a truly holistic healing system.
The very basis of the Chakra system is the idea that the root of physical problems tends to lie in energetic problems. If you are having a specific physical issue that you can’t shake, it is likely nothing more or less than a manifestation of an area of your life that you need to work on. Likewise, energetic and emotional areas of your being that are problematic are easy enough to fix by treating the physical areas that they correspond with.
The second chakra physically lies around the area of your body called your “sacrum.” Most newcomers to the field are probably unaware of what their “sacrum” actually is. Simply put, your sacrum lies at the small of your back. Most people have an easier time understanding the second chakra through its other physical association- your sexual organs. The connection between your sacrum and your sexual organs is actually a direct one. For example, a man’s ejaculation is known in many spiritual sexual circles as little more than an involuntary reaction that originates from the buildup of sexual energy in your lower spine- your sacrum. The sacrum also sits in very close proximity to a woman’s internal sexual organs.
Problems with your sexuality are Sacral Chakra problems. This includes both physical sexual problems and less tangible problems. For example, impotence or a severely reduced sex drive points to serious problems with your Sacral Chakra. Similarly, dangerous sexual behaviors and habits also point to Sacral Chakra problems. It’s important that you don’t jump to conclusions about what constitutes “dangerous sexual behaviors,” as there are plenty of unconventional ways of expressing sexuality that are healthy and have nothing to do with second chakra issues.
Other problems associated with the Root Chakra lie in your feelings about security- more specifically your feelings about money. While money is simply one energy system among many in the world, the feeling that you constantly never have enough is a debilitating problem lying in your first chakra. Those feelings of scarcity and that fear of being close to running out may seem petty to some, but they will undermine all other progress and growth that you endeavor in your life. Similarly, constantly feeling worried about your physical well-being (of being hungry, of being attacked, or being vulnerable at all times) all are tied to problems with your Root Chakra. Too many people who are spiritually minded pay little heed to their physical well being, and in encouraging feelings of material security. If you consider these problems picayune, than consider all the wasted time and energy you have spent in life that could be put to better use. The base of all health, whether spiritual or physical, lie in a properly functioning Root Chakra.
