Thank you Peregrine, and also thank you for joining the forum. I've really enjoyed reading your posts in the STS thread.
Your post on the chakras and use of catalyst is well timed. I've recently endeavored to take on the chakra archetype system as a means of tuning my own system in the hopes of finding greater harmony with myself and otherselves. This is especially helpful because I'm still learning what it is exactly to recognize a blocked chakra and then to unblock it.
It sounds to me (correct me if I'm off) that after you first realize something my be wrong (not getting work done, conflict with someone, etc) you try to identify the very essence of the problem. Do you go straight to the root (red ray) chakra first to see if it is relevant, then move upwards until the problem is identified? I'm a little fuzzy still on how to actively unblock as well. Do you hold the emotion of the problem in the fore-front of your mind and embrace it, then let go (as I have heard before)? Or do you seek the love in the moment, etc? It sounds from your post that you simply processed in a cerebral way what it was that was spooking you and found it's opposite energy, is that right?
Also since you obviously know your chakras, I have a question. The Ra material puts sexuality in with the red ray chakra, but a book I recently purchased (The Wheels of Life) says this is a yellow ray function. It seems to me it could fit both of them at the same time. Red ray if you (ahem) are not engaged with any otherselves or have some sexual hangup that is you-based, and yellow (or possibly orange??) if you are engaged with someone else. Any ideas?
