The amount of energy flowing through your third Chakra, the NEEDS chakra, affects the health of your reproductive system.
It is the center of all creative energies that bring ideas and thoughts into material form. Energies are released here to create inventions, artistic creations, buildings and products, as well as creating another human body. When energy is released from this center, it acts as a magnetic force to bring the thought … the desire, into material form.
NEEDS – the recognition that all people share the basic needs for food, health, shelter, love and sex. Specifically, it is the ability to satisfy these basic drives in a manner that enables all individuals to retain their self-respect.
It is important that you clearly understand the difference between your wants (See The 2nd Chakra – Wants) and your needs and have clearly defined goals for reaching both. If you are struggling to fulfill your needs, you will not have as much energy to direct towards your principle need, spiritual advancement, or your wants.
We all have physical needs that need attending to in order to survive and thrive on Planet Earth. Once you learn how to survive, you will go deeper into fulfilling your spiritual needs. Let me explain more about what your physical and spiritual needs are:
Food & Health:
This is a personal area because it has everything to do with your second loyalty; the health and well being of your physical body. Without your physical health, you can’t do what you invested all that energy growing up to do – fulfilling your life’s purpose.
If you are not doing what you need to do to keep your physical body in tune, you are putting unnecessary stress on yourself and limiting the energy flowing through you needs chakra. And, on some level, it is affecting your self-respect.
Shelter:
When you are really clear about what you want and organize your wants into actionable goals, your material needs will take care of themselves. In our society you need to earn enough money to meet your living expenses for housing, electricity, food, etc, etc. Once your living expenses are met, then you can start fulfilling your wants and living an abundant life.
No one has money problems. People have trouble discerning what they really want for themselves and getting organized to go get it. My master once told me, “If eating beans gets you where you want to be, then eating beans is good … for now.” You can have anything you want as long as you are willing to earn it. Earning it means investing you time in your goals. Wishful thinking gets you nowhere. The cycle is Feel, Think, Act. This means investing your energy into your goals in an organized manner.
A potential pit-fall within your needs is believing you need more than you really do at this time in your evolution. How much house, what type car, how much money do you need to accomplish YOUR GOALS at this time? “Keeping up with the Joneses,” has nothing to do with what you came here to accomplish. If you are living a life-style that puts pressure on you, how are you going to reach your personal goals? You are not really getting anywhere if you are not accomplishing the things you truly want.
Love:
Now we move into the spiritual needs. Love is the most important one. If you are looking for love outside yourself, you are looking in the wrong place. In my opinion, you are love. No one can give love to you and no one can take love away from you. You can share it. You can choose to be selfish, limited and manipulative with the love you are and share it only with certain people under certain conditions, or you can radiate it like the sun shines its light on all without conditions.
You may have been taught to share your love with only those who “deserve it.” If this is the case, you were trained to use your love to manipulate people to do what you want them to do. You are limiting the flow of energy through your needs chakra because you are limiting your love.
Spiritual freedom is to live lovingly. This means to give always to everybody, under all circumstances, the radiance of your love.
Anything else is an intellectual concept of love that attracts the same from others. If you want more loving relationships in your life, start by being love with everyone. This does not mean you are a doormat for anyone. Love is self-respect in action. It means having the inner strength to live and let live. You don’t have to like everyone. If individuals or groups act in a manner that you don’t want to be involved with, you can still accept them and love them for who they are at this time. You can choose not to interact with them, but still love them for where they are at. Love means not tolerating anything in your environment that puts pressure on you.
Sex:
Let’s talk about sex. Spiritually, sex is communication … all communication. One of the great aspects of being on Earth with a physical body is you have the opportunity to touch and be touched by the words, feelings and thoughts of many different levels of consciousness. Spiritually, you are living in a sea of thoughts and feeling generated by all the souls sharing this environment with you. When you radiate your love, you will never attract negativity from anyone.
In Western culture, a lot of baggage has been directed toward a very small box within the larger box of sex. Intercourse. Who you do it with, how you do it, when you do it has all been elevated to a level that has little spiritual relevance. Somewhere along the line, someone figured out that if taboos were associated with intercourse, that it would be easier to control people.
You can do anything you want on planet earth as long as you don’t feel guilty about it. If you break a man-made rule and don’t feel guilty, you are spiritually fine. You just need to accept that if society catches you breaking a rule; there could be a consequence. If you do something you feel guilty about, you are already caught. You will judge yourself and slow the flow of energy through your physical body. You may even seek out someone to punish you.
These are some keys to help you organize yourself to have everything you want and need in life. The principle key to keeping the energy flowing smoothly through your needs – don’t do anything that harms your self-respect. Satisfy your needs in your manner that maintains your self-respect. And allow others the same freedom.
