Need advice please - Ovindu - 04-11-2021
Hello all,
Basically, for background information, I started to explore spirituality at the age of 13, around 3 years ago. I was very interested in advanced systems of spirituality, and I tried to advance my upper 3 chakras. I ignored the bottom 3 chakras, this made the bottom 3 very imbalanced and would often make me feel sad and exhausted, eventually I developed an addiction to masturbation and a negative sexual energy
(probably due to imbalanced 1st and 2nd chakras), which was in excess. This caused my spiritual burnout and eventually at the age of 14 I left spirituality and started again at the age of 15. Now I wish to balance my lower 3 chakras before moving onto anything advanced.Where ever I try to search for methods of balancing the lower chakras, I get esoteric information which I do not really understand. I would really appreciate if you could advice me on simple things I can apply to my life which will help balance the 3 physical chakras.
Thank you

Ground by doing things that you appreciate in the world around you.
Practice being content and grateful in the present moment.
Perhaps carry crystals that are red, orange, yellow and green.

Hello, I want to offer my perspective.
Whatever You do or take be carefull and ponder.
I wish You be well.
I would offer to change the attitude and expect everything to be complex and hard. This way it will be easier and simplier.
I asked some questions in my thread and wanted a detailed information on energy centers.
I did get only abstract ideas.
I think most people do not know themselves.
I think You provided very minimal information about Your experience.
Do You actually feel the energy?
Or is this only a concept to You?
If the latter, how do You know the energy centers are real?
Also,
Why do You need this spirituality?
What is negative sexual energy?

Look at life with a more realistic/physical perspective. You are a teenager, your hormones is turbocharged, the things you described are actually common with teens... masturbation, sexual drive, and mood swings.
I suggest you looking into traditional medicines and psychology first, and realize that you are actually "normal."
Also, learn about your physical body and mind. People on this forum tends to "float" into the "sky" when the thread start going further and further.... But when everyone gives it a break and get off their computers... We all realize we are bunch of nerds, and we still gotta go poo poo and pee pee, we sleep, eat, and drink water.... Then get right back into all these spiritual and philosophical talks again.
Don't worry about that right now, just do you, and when you have "some" life experience in this lifetime... maybe in your mid twenties or late twenties.. Then touch base with all the woo woo stuff. (not crazy, just you know? spiritual)
This doesn't mean you can't start now with spirituality and chakra and all that jazz..... Just understand that there is a very "real" reality you are in.... if you get a boo boo, you go to the doctor.... not burning incense or wearing crystals.... If you get a cut, you treat it with first aid... if you stink, you take a shower.... etc. etc.
You get the idea..
These are the simple things you are looking for.

Generally, embryonic breathing is what I used to root the root chakra. Solar plexus, I developed leading and directing teams in pseudo combat simulations or other "high stress" environments.
RE: Need advice please - Spaced - 04-11-2021
I think the situation you describe is fairly common among spiritual seekers. The lower energy centers aren't quite as glamorous as the higher ones so people often try to skip ahead which can lead to imbalance. I can share my views on the lower energy centers, but I feel everyone should come to their own understanding regarding their energetic system.
The red-ray/root chakra is all about having your basic needs for survival met, making sure you have a comfortable place to live, healthy food to eat, water to drink and air to breathe, as well as familial bonds to draw support from. Unless those needs can be met in a satisfactory manner it will be hard to work on the higher centers. This is a fairly generalized list of needs as different people can find comfort in different situations and I think one who has crystalized this center will be at ease in most situations and draw to them the things they need to survive (wandering sages who have nothing of their own but receive food and shelter from strangers as needed as though by chance), but I think for most that reassurance that we can meet our needs is enough.
For the orange-ray/sacral chakra the work of balancing involves the relationship of self to self. It's important to get to know yourself, what bring you pleasure, what is healthy for you physically and psychologically as well as what is unhealthy, what brings you feelings of accomplishment, etc. For me when I feel unbalanced here I do things that bring me back to a state of peace within myself like going for a hike, taking a hot bath, writing something or eating a good meal. I have to be careful with orange-ray energy because it can be tempting to indulge in things that bring some pleasure but aren't helpful like spending all day in my underwear playing videogames
The yellow-ray/solar plexus chakra is one that I find brings the most difficulty (especially wanderer types). Ra gives a succinct answer on how to balance this energy center:
Quote:102.11 Questioner: Now, is there— the two areas then that the instrument can look to for curing this problem… I understand that the yellow-ray blockage problem has completely repaired, shall I say. If this is not correct, could you make suggestions on that, please?
Ra: I am Ra. Each entity must, in order to completely unblock yellow ray, love all which are in relationship to it, with hope only of the other-selves’ joy, peace, and comfort.
But that might be easier said than done in this confused and confusing world. I think a good start is to have a social group that you engage with. Ra also mentions in another query things like team sports and even driving a car as activities that would offer catalyst to help develop this energy center. I think the crux of this work is engaging and being involved in the world around you.
There is also a variety of types of energy work that is helpful in maintaining the flow of energy through your energetic body and the energy centers, but unless you are consistent in using the catalyst offered to you by the universe blockages will keep coming back.
There's my thoughts on this topic, if they don't align with your own understanding then please disregard

Read thru the "A question for the advanced" thread, this is basically what is getting addressed.
If you are more on the practical side (like me) rather than the isoteric side, getting into psychology and the nature of self and relationships can be quite helpful. The book "The mastery of love" by Don Miguel Ruiz is very straightforward but very powerful in how it frames ourself and others in the world. And I'll pitch my shadow work/meditation method again (link below), it's like a self assessment routine that helps clear out the mind trash and put one into a state of acceptance and forgiveness. Playing with tarot spreads is a fun assessment tool as it forces you to interpret yourself, especially when using larger spreads like the Celtic cross. I also really enjoy spirit animal type spreads for different archetypes. But most importantly, have fun, do activities you enjoy, be carefree but responsible. And if you feel you are getting too carried away by some activities (like fantacy or masterbation), just try to moderate yourself some limits and boundaries that you can deal with, without chastising yourself either (pun intended

Another take on this could be that, prior to working with energy centers, you first need to discipline the mind. It is the mind which informs you of such things, and its own biases can mislead before you ever get to balancing anything.
Ra says something like, if the mind is a lock, silence is the key.
First know your mind--not the endless contents--but its footfalls and heartbeats. You will come to know it in silence as it offers itself to you. Then allow it to offer you answers to your other questions. Try not to ride it like a beast, but to befriend it.

Most of my life until now has been with unbalanced red ray and was deliberate. It can be good and bad all at once. Take your time and follow your path. The route to healing may make itself clear one day soon.

Why was that deliberate? Do you prefer a bumptious ride? Do you feel you learned more that way or benefited from it somehow?
RE: Need advice please - BrotherInWaiting - 04-12-2021
To make me more of a servant/tool type personality and unafraid to put myself at risk all the time... the decision was taken by whatever designed me this time around *shrug*

Hey BIW!!!
May I ask you a question please?
Why would you choose to be a servant tool and not the Master Carver of your own reality? What risks would you have that do not already exist for the role you now are playing which is the servant/tool?
By definition, of what is beyond what we see in 3rd density, is that we are guided by The Creator's Will in all that we do as It is our source of Life. Yet, on the other hand of this great paradox we can take what has been given to each of us and carve a piece of art that is to our liking according to our own heart's desire. The Creator, I am sure appreciates you recognizing that you are open to receive it's power and glory but we need to use it here in 3rd density to create our heaven on earth. We do this for ourselves and we do it for all others.
There are times we must be passive and resting, and there are times we must be engaged and active just as nature has these very cycles.
These are just my thoughts and not judgements at all. As I see that each of us being perfect within a moment.

The most simple answer sometimes is the best. You nailed it here.
Use ordinary everyday experiences to work on the lower rays. And the crystals to use as a reminder.

Your situation is not unique as it has happened to many. You can bring this back to a nice balance that will work for you. I sort did the same thing as yourself years ago with some differences in the sexuality aspect. I worked upon the higher rays ignoring the lower and got tangled up and throw off course.
To work on the rays (especially the lower) will mean to work on yourself while using life experience as a teacher and the humans around you as a mirror to mirror back information to you regarding the hidden parts of you.

In a war, you need soldiers. When the fighting is over, perhaps one is wiser to take up 'carving', as you put it very nicely
