2nd Chakra In The Light: Chakra 2.0 Series

This is the second of a series where we will explore the chakras in their truest sense. We often know the chakras through the dysfunction in our bodies and minds. But our chakras are actually perfect. Let's look at how to step into their perfection regardless of where our lives have taken us.

How does the 2nd chakra light up our world? What does this flowing energy center do to create amazing experiences with others and the world around us?

Transcript

So today we're continuing our series,

Our chakra 2.

0 series,

And we're looking at the second chakra.

I highly recommend going and watching the first video at some point.

I'll put the first chakra,

And it will be uploaded on Insight Timer here too.

But I'll still give a bit of a premise here.

Because we've often studied chakras in the past.

They've been almost introduced to us through the dysfunction that we've experienced.

We look at the second chakra,

For example,

That we're going to look at today,

And we say,

Ah,

Yes.

Well,

You know that your second chakra is blocked when you have issues with money,

You have emotional struggles,

You have struggles with relationships,

Everything.

We have issues with our uterus,

Or our testes,

Or our urinary system.

Everything is based on the dysfunction of that chakra.

And what's subtly dangerous about this is that we actually have the idea that there's something wrong with our chakra.

We actually think that there's something internally wrong.

In the same way that we might say that my liver has issues,

The liver itself,

There's something wrong with it.

We kind of do the same thing to the chakras,

And we say,

Well,

My second chakra is damaged,

Or it's not working properly,

Or something like that.

And there's something weird about internalizing that,

Because it makes us feel like a leg has been cut off,

And there's nothing we can do about it now.

The leg is cut off,

And I'll always have to work around it.

So instead,

Imagine the chakras are divine energy whirling portals.

There's nothing wrong with our chakras.

They're energy.

They're part of our energy blueprint.

I'm not even 100% sure that your second chakra is any different than my second chakra.

They could be exactly the same energy,

Fueling this incarnation,

Or fueling your incarnation.

And how it looks kind of in my DNA blueprint is one thing.

But imagine that there's actually nothing wrong with it.

It's pure energy.

So I found this really interesting woman.

Her name is Cindy Dale,

And she teaches about chakras.

And she's very,

Very interesting.

She currently teaches.

And I just got this one idea from her.

The rest of her thoughts are fascinating and interesting.

But this one idea she had about that there are two concurrent worlds running.

There is a world of light and a world of shadow.

And the world of light is the world that the ancients speak of,

That the wise ones speak of.

And even inside of us,

We know it exists.

It's almost like this utopia.

And even the idea of utopia makes us immediately go,

Yeah,

As if that's going to be real ever.

There's an instant,

Yeah,

Whatever.

But we can smell it.

We can taste it.

I'm sure that even the fact that we're here,

That this very select group of people that are here know that this light world exists and is possible,

Because that's where we're walking towards.

We know it.

If we believe that the world was meant to be completely dysfunctional,

And all of our struggles and everything were just completely normal,

And the sea will always be stormy and will always feel like we're drowning,

We wouldn't be learning how to meditate.

We wouldn't be gathering here.

We can all feel this world of light,

This world of wisdom.

It's almost like when we meditate and those answers come,

They come in that place,

Because in that place,

Everything is living in harmony with each other.

We really are living in symbiosis.

We really are living in this thing that we can feel inside of us.

The chakras exist in that world.

Our chakras,

They exist in that world of light.

So if you imagine inside of you right now,

You are this beautiful weaving of all of these different aspects of the divine.

And all of these aspects are the things that we're bringing to this world.

They're the things we need to be humans on this planet and to have the human experience that we desire.

So they're perfect.

So here we come into this space-time continuum,

This 3D world perhaps,

Or maybe that's all we can perceive at times.

And we come into this world as these amazing energetic beings.

We talk about this all the time.

I'm an energetic being having a human experience.

But the world is the other world.

It's the shadow world.

Because no matter how optimistic we want to be,

It's a really difficult world out there.

There's sunsets and puppies and mountains and lovemaking and chocolate and great things too.

I'm not getting rid of all the joyous things in life.

But there's some real darkness out there.

There's real cruelty.

There's meanness.

There's disconnect.

There's disconnect from nature,

Disconnect from each other,

Disconnect from God.

There's just real cruelty out there.

And this is the shadow world.

So now you imagine you have this pure energy,

This pure light.

And it's like,

Oh,

Look at this.

It's almost like imagining you go to a world that's really cold.

So what do you do?

Well,

You put on clothing.

You put on winter coats.

You put on gloves.

You put on boots.

You put on hats.

You cover your face.

You just adapt to the environment.

So that's what we've done.

We've come to this Earth,

And we've had to adapt to the environment.

We've had to adapt to this shadow world.

But in the same way that who we are inside all those winter coats doesn't change,

It's the same with our chakras.

They don't change.

But we do create an interface in between this and the world around us.

And what's really interesting is as we've gone through our life,

We have taken off coats and put them back on and created this and grabbed a sword and done whatever we needed to do to survive this world.

But they're all in the interface.

Now,

It's again like back to the whole winter coat analogy.

If your winter coat gets tattered and torn,

It's just your coat.

It's not you.

It's just the coat.

So that's what we're looking at here.

We're looking at the chakras in the light and then looking at the interface that maybe we can clean up now.

Maybe we had to adopt certain mannerisms and tools and protection mechanisms and all these kind of things to survive a certain time of our life,

A certain ancestral pattern,

A certain cultural norm,

Whatever,

But we needed this at that time to survive it.

But do we still need it?

Are we still wearing the winter coat,

But it's actually warm out?

And now we're suffering because we have this winter coat and we're sweating to death,

But all we have to do is take off the winter coat.

And that's really what we're looking at.

We're looking at this interface.

What can we look at?

And what's so wonderful about this is it's not so personal because one of the greatest challenges on our path,

You know,

When we talk about doing the work,

When we talk about whatever it is we have to look at,

If we think it's us that's broken,

We take it so personally,

All of us,

Like there's really something fundamentally wrong with me.

And then we have shame and then we feel like a loser.

And then we feel like I'm never gonna figure this out.

And then it's like,

We just get depressed.

And this is still us,

Like this emotional self that I'm talking about is still me.

And I still have to function through that.

It's not separate from me.

That is my reality.

So then what happens?

When you start feeling like that,

You just kind of,

If you imagine yourself walking along the road and you're walking along and you're doing the work,

Whatever the work is you're doing,

And you're doing the work,

And all of a sudden the thought comes in,

You're like,

You're never gonna figure it out anyway because you've always been like this.

And everyone in your family's always been like this and no one gets you.

And you're just gonna always be an outsider and no one's ever gonna.

And you just slowly you start walking and you start hunching and you walk slower and slower and slower until you go and you end up sitting on the side of the road,

Just giving up.

And that's what it feels like when we think,

And that's why I mention the difference between saying my second chakra is blocked and I have an interface with the world outside that doesn't allow me to express my true light.

It's very different feeling to be able to heal this thing that I created for very,

Very good reason,

Especially in the second chakra.

So what's the second chakra all about?

So the first chakra,

We have become manifest on the planet.

It's the ground.

It's literally,

You know,

We are made of stardust and of earth and therefore be humble and know your greatness idea.

So the first chakra,

Here we are.

We have arrived,

We're on earth and we can see the trees and we can enjoy food and we can do all these things.

This is amazing.

Second chakra allows us to look around and see each other.

It's like,

Oh,

How you doing?

Look,

There's other people here.

Hey,

Look,

There's a mountain.

Like we start to actually interact with the world around us.

This is like almost the beginning of duality,

Especially with people.

Like,

Well,

We're gonna talk specifically about people but this is where we actually start interacting with each other.

You see this with children.

Up until about the age six or seven,

They kind of play by themselves.

They're kind of in their first chakra.

It's like,

Oh,

Look,

Sand,

Right?

And even if they're all in the sandbox,

They're just co-playing.

They're not really playing with each other.

They're not interacting.

They're just playing in their own sandbox and there happen to be other kids around them.

Then around the age six,

Seven,

They start to realize,

Hey,

There's other people here.

I wanna go play with Bobby or I'm kind of looking at that girl over there or whatever.

It's sort of this,

Hey,

There's another person here.

This is the joy of the second chakra.

This is the energy of actually interacting with others and this can be joyful.

This is amazing.

I mean,

You can already feel like there's like,

Yeah,

But there's this,

The shadow world is coming in and saying,

Oh,

But they're not all nice and kids are cruel and you never know and there's all these things.

That's the shadow world.

But in the purest sense,

The second chakra simply says,

Wow,

Look at us all here like right now.

Look at us all here interacting with each other.

This is the second chakra.

If we all stayed in the first chakra,

We'd all just be enjoying our own lives by ourselves,

Doing our thing,

Interacting with nature,

Doing whatever we're doing.

But instead we're choosing second chakra energy and saying,

Hey,

How's it going?

You know,

What are you doing?

So what happens then?

Imagine perfection.

Imagine what this is in perfection.

So I come up to you and I go,

Hey,

How are you doing?

Like,

What's your name?

And you say,

Oh,

I'm so-and-so.

I'm like,

Oh,

I'm Katrina.

And it's like,

Oh,

Have you ever done this?

Yeah,

I've done that.

That's really cool.

Hey,

Do you know where the local coffee shop is?

Yeah,

I do.

Hey,

Do you want to go there?

Sure.

And suddenly I'm having this interaction with another human and what's happening here?

It's flowing.

I'm saying something,

They're saying something,

We're doing this,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah.

And it's like,

Oh,

Isn't this amazing?

This is so much fun.

And the energy is moving back and forth between the people in beautiful flow.

This is very different energy than first chakra.

Hey,

Look at us hanging out on the earth,

But it's just me.

It's just me and the earth.

And now I'm in second chakra and I'm flowing with other people.

So what happens there?

We have new experiences.

We start to actually experience other people's realities.

And someone says,

I love to paint.

And you're like,

Really?

How do you do that or what do you do or can I see them?

So then I go and I see their paintings or they teach me how to paint.

And I have an experience.

But I only had the experience because I interacted with another person.

This is the joy of getting to interact with other people.

And then I say,

I'm really into Richard Feynman right now and I love reading his books and hearing about his physics and it's so interesting.

And they say,

Oh,

Have you ever heard of this guy?

Has he ever?

Really?

That's fascinating.

And this is this incredible flow in the second chakra,

Just pure flow.

And then maybe sometimes I meet someone and I don't particularly like being around them.

Maybe they're interested in things that I'm not interested in.

I'm not really good at talking about sports.

And if someone,

I meet another person and they're like,

Oh my gosh,

Did you see the hockey game last night?

It was so cool.

And then in the second thing,

They did the second,

I don't even know how to say it,

The second period,

They did this and this and this and this and this and I'm kind of bored.

And I can actually feel the magnetism,

Because realize magnetism is now playing in the second chakra.

Because we are magnetic beings.

We are electrical circuits that run on magnetism.

So how we interact with other people runs on magnetism.

And when we're attracted,

We play.

And when we're not attracted,

We're supposed to leave.

We're supposed to honor this magnetism.

It's our design.

So some guy,

They're talking about hockey and this and that and this and that and I'm standing there and I'm feeling no attraction anymore.

So my body and mind is actually kind of doing this.

In perfection,

That magnetism would simply disappear and he'd realize that he was actually always talking to himself anyway.

Because he sure wasn't talking to me.

And the other interesting thing about that is this magnetism is what helps us respond.

So let's say that person,

It wasn't just that they were talking about hockey.

Maybe they were really upset about something.

And maybe they even lashed out at me.

And I was upset.

And I got this horrible feeling inside like,

Oh,

This is horrible.

I hate being around this person.

And I just left.

That's a response.

That's a response to another person.

So that's an emotion.

When I'm around you,

Oh my god,

I feel so happy inside.

I feel so light.

I feel so excited.

I feel so excited to be alive.

I love it.

This is amazing.

And I listen to that emotion as the excellent biofeedback mechanism that it's designed for.

And I go,

Awesome.

I want to spend more time with you.

I'm enjoying this second chakra interaction.

It feeds my soul.

It just feels fantastic.

But then maybe you're around someone and it makes you sad.

And you go,

Hmm,

Sad.

I don't really want to feel sad.

So I don't want to hang out with you.

Right?

So here's where the problem comes.

We can already imagine what the problem in the shadowland is with all of this joyful interaction with others.

So on the one hand,

We have all of these weird constructs in society that tell us how we're supposed to act around people.

Regardless of the magnetism,

Regardless of our emotions,

Regardless of whether we want to be there,

Regardless of whether it's on our soul's path,

Here is how you have to act.

So what we're actually doing,

Society itself,

By creating these structures,

They're telling us you aren't allowed to listen to the flow of the second chakra.

It could be as simple as school.

You have to sit there.

But I'm not interested in this.

Yes,

But you have to sit there.

But that guy was mean to me at recess.

Yes,

That's OK.

You're just going to sit there.

There's this weird training that says whatever it is you're feeling inside is irrelevant.

And now,

Say,

Even in school,

You're interacting with a teacher.

And they are teaching you something,

Or they're showing you something.

And here's what you have to do.

And you're supposed to be interacting with them.

You're supposed to be having a second chakra experience with this person.

But it's empty,

Or it's mean,

Or it's controlled.

And you're not actually a human.

You're kind of just an object to be manipulated or to be formed or to be whatever.

So what happens there?

Like what happens to us when we get stuck in this structure?

It could be in the family.

How often in family you're not allowed to do this?

We were taught to be polite.

And there's a lot of politeness,

Which is really beautiful and creates really lovely flow.

True politeness can cause wonderful flow.

You know,

They used to talk about if you had company over.

Because the original politeness was you must,

For example,

Like social,

Maybe it's not politeness,

Proper rules or whatever,

Like if you were to drink wine from a wineglass,

You must hold the stem.

And there's logical reasons for this,

That you don't warm the fluid.

But you hold it in the stem.

But if you had company over,

And they picked up their wineglass and held the goblet part,

They held the,

This part of it.

The polite thing is for you also then to hold it the way your guest does,

Because it makes them feel comfortable.

That actually allows flow.

Nobody's above anyone.

No one knows better.

No one's of some different class than another person that has different rules and all this nonsense.

It's just flow.

It allows for easy flow.

So there's a lot of the politeness training actually has very,

Very beautiful intention.

But a lot of it doesn't.

A lot of it says,

You're going to act like this whether you want to or not.

You're going to be nice to your Uncle Charlie,

Whether he's mean to you or whether he feels you up in the hallway or what no matter what he does.

This is what you're going to act like.

And so we create all of these weird programs inside of us,

Not only to kind of keep people at a distance,

Because it's not safe.

And I can't listen to my own feelings around you,

But also to protect ourselves.

Because in a pure flow state,

In a pure second chakra state,

We're listening to the clues.

We have so many navigational tools built into that second chakra.

When you really think about the perfection of the second chakra,

Why was it given to us?

To help us interact with other people.

To help us,

To guide us interacting with seven and a half billion people.

We were given magnetism.

Oh,

We were given emotional response.

We were given desire.

We were given all these things to navigate.

So much in the shadow world says,

Yeah,

You're not allowed to use any of those.

You're not allowed to leave.

You're not allowed to go after the things you want.

You're not allowed to listen.

You have to quiet your emotions.

You have to bury how you feel.

So this is really important.

When we look at and we say,

Well,

I think my second chakra is blocked.

Or I think maybe the interface that is surrounding me is not allowing my second chakra to flow.

To really understand that it's not you.

To really know that it's a kooky world.

That's the funniest thing about doing these series for me is that I feel like I'm just like totally bashing the world all the time.

But it's just the reality.

And then once,

And what's really interesting too is,

So I'm 52.

So for the first large portion of my life,

I didn't feel I didn't have choices to leave,

To honor my magnetism,

To listen to my emotions.

I was under the control of other people,

Parents,

Schools,

Whoever.

Then I got married.

And then I felt again,

Another control from the expectations of being married or the in-laws or the family or the church or whatever.

And then you start to realize,

Wait a minute,

This doesn't even make any sense.

Like I'm not supposed to be some robot that just follows the rules.

But in all of those years,

I had to create this way of surviving,

Almost like a way of surviving so that inside I could still feel like me.

But to you,

I'm going to show you this persona.

I'm going to act a certain way,

Maybe keep you at a bit of a distance.

I'm going to be sarcastic.

I'm going to be a little bit mean.

I'm going to be a little bit aloof.

I'm going to be a little bit I'm going to be a little louder.

I'm going to be a little quiet.

That's what you're going to see sometimes towards myivan or any of my Breattimes.

And I've seen that social circuit that then kind of kept me updated about my improvements in how I was thinking about myself.

And what happened?

And I think about something much bigger than what I experienced last year,

You know,

Asked who I knew then because I started around one of my best friends.

Little quiet that's what you're gonna see because I'm gonna keep the real me in here and that's this interesting thing.

But as we go on in life I now have the freedom to honor my magnetism.

I now know that my emotions are powerful feedback mechanisms and my emotions my feelings will tell me the truth.

Not only will they tell me the truth they'll guide me on my journey.

In this stage of my life I know this now and I have the autonomy to honor that.

So then I can the shadow world can still be the shadow world.

It can be still the exact same place that I was raised in but because I'm stronger and I'm more connected and I understand magnetism and emotional response and all these things I can clean up my interface.

I can be honest and I can tell you the truth and I can walk away or I can walk to words and I can respond honestly and completely clean that interface.

It's sort of that the journey of tantra one of the big big pieces of it is completely releasing all the structures of society and what that does is not only allows you to connect spiritually but allow it it allows us to actually access our natural gifts and this of course is this in this case is our second chakra natural response to others.

It's like I always imagine one of the things I love about Google Maps is when you follow Google Maps to help navigate it'll actually avoid traffic.

So when I live downtown Toronto I use Google Maps all the time even if I didn't know even if I was going someplace I'd gone many many times before because Google Maps would tell me if there was an accident or if there was a slowdown and it would reroute me and I thought this was brilliant.

Imagine if everybody used this and everybody was constantly kind of being rerouted around each other unbeknownst to them and then everything flowed so much better.

Imagine it's the same thing what if all of us are always listening and we're honoring the magnetism.

Like I really felt this when I was dating and you would meet someone and there was either magnetism or there wasn't.

Like we can go into attractive and that all this stuff right which is mostly all in our head anyway but actual magnetism you either feel drawn towards or you don't.

It's not personal it's just magnetism and it doesn't even necessarily mean that that person is characteristically repulsive or characteristically attractive.

It's just these two beings and the only question is are we on each other's paths yes or no.

If we are there will be a mutual attraction and if there isn't there won't be.

It's not interesting it's just magnetism and there's a huge a huge joy in being able to just honor that all the time and really understand because one of the one of the hard things is that gets in the way of this that gets also programmed into this interface with other people is even all the movies,

Songs,

Media that we we ingest all the time.

For me one of the most damaging things in my interface was growing up as a teenager in the 80s and a million movies about nerds,

Revenge of the Nerds,

Every single movie was some interaction between the cool kids and the geeks or the outsiders and the dorks or whatever it was this massive thing and that went deep into my psyche and I was so convinced I was a nerd I was so convinced I was a loser I would never be popular and then it keeps going it says no one's gonna like you.

So imagine your second chakra it's and all you want to do is interact with others but no one's gonna like you Katrina because you're one of those nerds you're one of those dorks you don't look like those other people and if I if I would look like that person if I had big boobs and I wasn't covered in acne and all that kind of thing then maybe maybe boys would like me too and it's like it's all programmed in our brain has nothing to do with reality and it sure has nothing to do with our divine second chakra so then of course we spend a lot of time unpacking that and saying that's not true a lot of things in the shadow world do do look like that's the same thing if you don't go to the gym if you don't look a certain way if you aren't fit if you don't have a certain body type if you don't look a certain way people aren't gonna like you and we have all of this second chakra stuff and the second chakra is just saying yeah but but we came to earth to hang out with people like we were actually designed as social creatures why are we creating all these blocks why are we saying that some people have more it doesn't even make any sense like when you really go there you can't even make sentences out of it the other weird thing there was a movie called the day they invented lying or something like that or when lying was invented being taught to lie to people is a really it's also a strange aspect of the shadow world so all of a sudden you're interacting with someone and you're not allowed to be honest you're not allowed to respond according to your magnetism you're not allowed to respond according to your emotional response we must respond in the way societies told us to we must respond based on what that other person wants us to say we're so we become hyper concerned about the other person again because this shadow world is full of meanness and cruelty and difficulty and everything else so maybe we need to lie to the other person so we don't get hurt we need to lie to the other person so that they don't kick us out of the group we need to lie to the other person because they maybe they too have been really hurt and we don't want to hurt them anymore so we keep just saying whatever well how can we possibly interact with anyone we're not actually interacting with anyone we're just pretending it's like we're just writing scripts and throwing the scripts at each other so it's a fascinating thing and it's almost a real edgy thing to begin to interact honestly so how do we do it like how do we just simply live from this beautiful second chakra how do we allow flow and it all just comes down to this truth that it's just simply what it is do I want to hang out with you do I feel called to be here yes or no and when everybody understands that nobody's walking away because even I say taking it personally there's nothing to take personally it's not like that and yet we have all this programming that says oh it must be because I have a big bum or it must be because I don't have enough muscles or it must be because I don't look like Brad Pitt or something and it's not it's all all not true so one of the big things that we often look at in the second chakra is emotional health and again we look at the dysfunction we look at where the emotions get stuck but again the number one thing all emotions are good if I interact with you like even say grief if you and I are together and I lose you for some reason maybe you move away maybe you pass away maybe we just simply aren't together anymore there's gonna be real grief inside of me I'm gonna naturally feel a grief at the loss of this beautiful interaction and that's it I just feel grief there's no analysis there's no sadness there's no this always happens there's no why me why them why did we ever meet how come that's all that's all something else that's not even that kind of chatter doesn't belong in any of the chakras like that is a hundred percent just from the shadow world there is no reason to ever go into any of that the other challenge is when we don't use these emotional responses to do something with them that's when we get stuck people were to say you know if we go back to the whole idea that you know my second chakra is blocked or I'm stuck or I can't feel that energy of the second chakra let's say one of the number one things is we aren't listening to the emotions and then we're not using that information to make change to take action or to actually respond so if something makes me angry I need to do something about it if someone has breached a boundary then I need to do something about it I need to make I need to make a different change not that other person I need to make a different change but again we have so much deep training that says you are not allowed to respond in this and this in this way so for example even in relationships in the land of marriage up until like within my lifetime divorce wasn't allowed it's still not allowed in many countries or it's not economically feasible in many countries because still there's not an equality and working and autonomy between the sexes but so all of a sudden the church says you can't leave economically you can't leave so now you're stuck so then all of a sudden what happens your emotions are irrelevant the bio biofeedback mechanism is meant to have change that's the point if inside of our body we have our skin says it's cold out here and it sends a message which is like a feeling or an emotion but it sends a message to the brain it says it's cold out here we need to shake to get warm so we shiver this is the point the shivering is the point of the biofeedback mechanism to make us this or if it's hot the message is sent and says okay we need to open up the sweat glands and sweat so that the body cools down the only point of having the feeling is to make change so that the body comes back into homeostasis so it's the same thing every emotion we feel in the second chakra is there to help us take a step to take action always which is why every emotion is so important and so powerful and as soon as we actually start responding what happens we get back into that flow I feel this so I make this change I feel this I make this change and suddenly we're flowing again and suddenly I'm not afraid of interacting with you because I know that however we interact I'm gonna respond and you're gonna respond and we're gonna flow this is why I love my friends because everybody's always honest there's no rules there's no constructs there's no need to lie there's no need to put up barriers everything just flows all the time we just flow and it's easy and you don't have to always agree and you don't have to have the same opinion about everything but you can always you can always flow and you can say wow I'm really upset about this do you what do you think it's like wow you're really upset oh that's interesting what about this what about this and you can just keep playing it's like you just keep playing tennis you just keep playing and you just keep them keep the whole thing flowing and this changes everything it's kind of the same with we often think of the second chakra and creativity how does that work so you you kind of have this idea but now you have to interact in the world to make it happen so you have to go out there and you have to try something and maybe it works and maybe it doesn't and then there's this and then there's that it's like yesterday I was in a zoom call with this woman who was a midwife and we were talking about the gestation period and all the metaphors for birth whether we ever have children or not doesn't matter but the metaphors for birth and I started kind of giggling to myself when you think of let's say you have a project or let's say you have something you really want to do if you actually imagined the journey to manifest manifesting that project was like the nine month period of pregnancy imagine like the first three months of of morning sickness so you have all these ideas and all these things going back and forth and back and forth but not all of it works so you end up kind of feeling tired and you feel sick and maybe you throw up then you have all these issues but all we're doing is interacting with this new idea and we're interacting with the world and we're trying to figure things out and we're doing this thing but we're interacting it's actually part of the creative process and sometimes it doesn't feel good and sometimes you have to kind of work around and sometimes yet but we have to get through the first three months and then once you get first through the first three months then the work starts and things start to be be created and all these interesting things and then right before like the last trimester you just feel like it's like this big and you just don't know and what if it's not gonna work it was a fascinating idea and it's the same with this second chakra all we have to do is keep flowing with it whether we're in a period of kind of that morning sickness time of I don't know and you know and this and this didn't work out and I thought this was right and what if it's not all these kind of things and then then there's this time of really chewing it up and then the birthing of it well you can imagine the requirement of the flow of the second chakra it's the same thing but we the beautiful thing about listening to that second chakra is just trusting the flow just trusting it all the time like in the same way in the first chakra we trust our connection to the earth we trust the abundance of the world we trust that there will be food and shelter we trust that and then we enjoy it imagine we actually trusted the flow in the second chakra we trusted that you know what I meant to be here to interact with people so how do I do this in a flow state okay maybe I need to be a little bit more honest okay I have I'm having an emotional response what am I gonna do with that oh what am I gonna do with this weird magnetism I feel how come I suddenly want to leave the room like remember one time I was at a I was at a retreat it was a dowsing retreat you know learning how to dows with pendulums and rods and all that kind of thing a long time ago maybe like 18 years ago and we're all sitting around there and I was really new to all that kind of energy just that whole dynamic I'd never been so I was I was all kind of naive in many ways like I would just sort of flow with whatever they were doing but I wasn't really checking in with me and if I didn't know what they were doing I just assumed well I just was ignorant I just didn't know so I should just listen more but there were so we're sitting in this huge circle like maybe 30 people in this cabin in the woods and we're learning about something and I think what happened is we had to do this thing where we had to move energy around the circle you know and like one hand is up and one hand is I guess the left hand is up and the right hand is down and you do this energy transfer through the circle and I saw this woman get up and leave the circle and she just went and she stood way at the back watching and I'm staring at her like that's interesting because of course I'm also deep in my people-pleasing phase at this time so I'm not gonna do anything that breaks team and I did the exercise whatever it was and then I went over to her after because I was so intrigued and I said so how come you left the circle she said I don't know I just felt this energy pushing me out of the circle and I'd never heard anyone say that before and that's that interesting magnetism that just goes mmm and she trusted it completely and then it turned out that she lived ten minutes from me and like this retreat was way off like three four hours away and it turns out she like was practically a neighbor and we became friends but so it's a fascinating thing to just simply trust it that says no matter what no matter what I'm doing whether I'm creating something whether I'm interacting with other people no matter what I'm doing the flow state is the natural state that's where all the energy is that's where all the power is so if I come to a place where I can't flow then I need to look at that and that's all that's it it's just in this interface with the shadow world there's something that's not allowing flow let's look at that so flow happens and you and then it it's just it's just so much easier and honestly for me I think it always just comes down to truth just to whatever that truth is whether it's an emotional truth whether it's magnetic truth whether it's spiritual truth whether it's your soul's path whatever I use that all the time and I say it like I use it but I don't use it but it's like the number of times something doesn't feel right and someone will ask well then but why won't you do that or why don't you want it and I'm like I don't know it must just not be on my path and that's sort of if I have a pat answer for someone who doesn't really get it who doesn't really honor that emotional truth Satya magnetism in their own life that's kind of my my final answer because otherwise I feel no flow and I just can't do anything feel empty and sad frequently for some reason and don't know why feel depressed and can't seem to pass that everybody has a different reason that we get feeling empty and sad sometimes and I'm sure that there are extenuating extenuating circumstances around your question Carolyn mace used to write about dark nights of the soul and she would often say that we would have it sometimes we have a dark night of the soul because we've asked for guidance and we got an answer but we didn't like it so or for whatever reason we don't feel like we can take that action or do that thing so it's like we wait for a second option but there is no second option there's only the first option like there's only truth there's not there's not two realities there's not two journeys there's just just our journey so sometimes we feel sad and empty because we got our answer but for some reason we don't feel like we can do it so we're just totally stuck the other thing that I've experienced is if I'm feeling empty and sad it's like I have to remember all the other things I love doing and just doing them adding them back going out for coffee with someone taking a painting class volunteering at a dog shelter and cuddling dogs and walking them there really is an action step needed that takes us out there again because we all get stuck in places all the time but it really is a it's a question in prayer right so for me it's always I sit and I ask what is the step not why nothing like that just what can I do what's my next step what's the next step on my path and then when the answer comes I just have to have the faith to do it fear keeps us away from flow so much and it's funny how much fear has also been programmed into us but and a lot of the fear was real again because the societal construct said you can't escape can't leave you can't get away and so fear is a huge deal but again even fear fear is supposed to be situational it's supposed to be there might be something that comes up and fear is a very valuable emotion if you ever had that where you go somewhere and suddenly you're gripped with fear but this is important this is the fear that fear is what causes the deer to run this is really really important to just whatever like if there's a real fear then we need to do something about it but then we have to look at the fears are just simply programmed into the shadow world to control us because that's a thing they're just they're nonsense and when you really look at them you realize there's nothing there there's nothing there's no substance to it it's that saying you know when how many times like for example and this is a weird example but because of course it's about being naked you know I remember the first time I ever went to a nude beach in Jamaica it was on my bucket list I totally wanted to do it and the fears inside of me all programmed from the shadow world children aren't afraid of being naked every single fear I had about being naked was all just programmed into my brain just some weird software that got programmed in there and I was gonna do it no matter what and I stood on that beach and I sat down on my chair and I took off my sarong and I laid down on the chaise lounge watched people walk around talking having drinks eating burgers going for a swim and I realized it was all nonsense and there's this saying about so many fears you think there's a tiger blocking the door you think there's a tiger stopping you from doing the thing you want to do and then when you finally say I don't care I'm gonna do it anyway and you summon that courage and you walk up and you realize the tiger was made of paper it was never real and I don't know what percentage I would want to make up at this point about what percentage of the fears inside of us are paper tigers but it's a huge huge number this whole week I've been fighting guilt about not wanting to be around my mother who always upsets and hurts me because we're taught that we must be with them we must hang out with them it's my mother after all she birthed me she like me but these are all just intellectual things forcing you to stay in a situation like if you actually feel the second chakra like if you actually tune in with that second chakra it's it's telling you something very clearly and so here's the other piece this is the other thing that's really important so thank you for saying that when we listen to the flow of the chakras what are we listening to these are divine energy centers what if the guidance from the second chakra is our divine guidance so if we feel the need to be apart from someone for any reason imagine that to be divine guidance that as much as the societal structures say one thing which we know where those go they're not functional they don't work the proof is in the pudding on that one but what if that second chakra energy that says we need to be apart for a while is divine guidance and then we have to just close our eyes and trust it because we always think of divine guidance as only coming up here but every single chakra is divine and if our second chakra is guiding us in the interactions with other people and we feel a need to separate ourselves from someone for a time there may be a time where there's a shift in the wind and a reconnection happens what if we trust that that's right even though society says it's not what if that's the leap of faith to really really really honor it and and really think about this too because the second you know we talked about the feminine we talked about the wisdom of the feminine the divine feminine and how important it is in this time and this is in all people all genders every just people all of all of us incarnate souls on the planet what does our divine feminine tell us it guides us on our path so if we're feeling guided to become towards people and that's where we're meant to go and if we're feeling called to move away then that's where we're meant to go think of how messed up the feminine is in society in all people and its relation to emotions and emotional health think of a woman's menstrual cycle as she cycles through this emotional chemical monthly shift if we were designed and we knew that honoring those emotions brought us great wisdom how different those cycles would be so in a woman's cycle for example there's two homeopathic remedies for that premenstrual time when is pulsatilla the desire to just go into a corner and cry but the other one basically is where you want to grab an Uzi machine gun and kill everybody or at least shoot them maybe you don't want to kill them but these are the two sort of extreme emotional responses but that's in all of us when we don't listen because we're not listening to sepia we're not listening to our divine wisdom to our divine feminine that's what we're not listening to every one of us so listening to this so if you imagine our reproductive health our urinary health our creativity all these things our interactions with other people all we have to do is honor that truth and even know that just know that there's great wisdom there at work there are times when total control is all around and I feel this tightening my body and just want to leave and escape yeah and you never know and again sometimes if you're in a position in life that for whatever reason you can't really just leave right now sometimes all you need to know is hmm I feel a lot of inner tightening when I'm at work something's not right here we just have to listen and honor it and then say you know what I need to start considering my options I'm getting a message I need to start considering my options today night may not be that day but I am listening I heard it when do we speak up or choose not to say anything and let it go I feel like it's so dependent on this situation you're interacting with another being so there's another being in this equation it's not just you there's another being so would speaking up help the flow would just letting it go and walking away help the flow what is it what is it that would allow truth what is it with that it would allow the honoring of each person but it's always just important because it might be a different answer depending on who you're interacting with there's some the people in my life the best thing is always to speak up because they'll flow with me it'll help there's other people that the only thing that works is actually walking away and creating a boundary or a wall and then they have to kind of bang against the wall for a bit realize that you really mean it then you have a chance of them coming around and saying okay like no really can we talk about this just depends on what what the answer is how do we honor ourselves and the other two without being selfish so this is where to me it it's this divine guidance question that one of the things about emotional health in the second chakra is being very clear what are my emotions what are their emotions what's my path what's their path if we're going to interact with other people we have to remember that they're different people they are their own incarnate beings and each person has different desires and each person has different intentions and each person may be playing out different dramas and issues and hopes and dreams and all these things we did we can't be responsible for what the other person wants or wishes or whatever so it's the same thing as if one person has a habit of lashing out at people and they don't see anything wrong with it they think it's fine to be sarcastic they think it's fine to be mean they think it's fine to be like that and you don't like being around that you're allowed to find a new way to interact with this person whether it's at a distance or whether it's over the phone or whether it's less often or whatever that's your soul's path we're not responsible for that person's soul's path no matter how we're connected through society we're just souls so there's not it's not about all I don't actually know it's an interesting question because we use those words a lot like what does it mean to honor the other person so if I'm gonna go against my truth to allow someone else to have a reality that I don't see I once had a friend who believed truly that he should be allowed to treat anyone any way he wants and they should stick around he even said once that the friendship should be bomb proof I thought he said to me I thought our friendship was bomb proof I said why do you keep setting off bombs around me it's like that's not why I have friends I don't have friends who set off bombs that might hurt me he'd say no no but you need to be okay with it or else you're not a good friend but he doesn't have to be wrong and I don't have to be right he just simply wants people he wants to be able to do whatever he wants all the time and everyone has to stay I don't want to and that's it our souls desire something different in friendship that's it it's not interesting so for me to remain friends with him or for me to remain hanging out with him is me accepting a reality that isn't mine like that that's all and so we really really have to look at this we have to really look at what is this I remember even when when I ended my marriage that's what I finally actually came to I realized that this man simply wanted something very different out of marriage than I did I mean we had 20 years together but we had very different desires and that was it which I think is why in the end we're still really good friends because he wasn't wrong I wasn't right and so it's just it's really really interesting to allow each other to be unique people and that no one has to live in someone else's reality it's a great question it's a big question so thank you so much for being here I hope you have a wonderful day I'll see you soon
