What a syncronicity, I was just reading about the red ray in Anodea Judith's amazing book Eastern body Western mind. I had to put the book down because the information was too intense.
I think a lot of us spiritual people suffer from weak red rays due to our interest in the higher centers and perhaps also as a consequence of the reason we became spiritual in the first place, i.e. we might be wanderers and therefore feel we don't belong here or we've had difficult experiences growing up that prompted our seeking.
The red ray "demands" survival and procreation, nourishment, security, boundaries and grounding. The last two are the most interesting. Boundaries are often seen as limitations, being too attached to freedom, for example we don't want to work a meaningless job. However boundaries also allow a concentration of energy that can allow us to achieve goals like acquiring money. Being broke usually centers one in survival mode which is no freedom at all. Grounding doesn't primarily mean electrical grounding by placing the feet on the ground. I believe grounding is not about the energy of the south pole but rather the energy of the north pole, attention and willpower. A certain amount of attention needs to be allocated to matters of the red ray material world. Meditating all day centers one firmly in the head and imbalance easily occurs, I believe Carla spoke to this in 101.
