Orange and yellow chakra development

[Louisabell]

This is what I would do.

I see orange ray as that centre that deals with the emotional relationship you have with your self (and what emotions you project onto others). I find connecting with your inner child here to be very helpful. Ask yourself, how would you react if a child you loved really wanted to play guitar, but was feeling anxious? How would you support and comfort this child? Then realise that this is the emotional resource you need to provide yourself  with.

I see yellow ray as the social self, meaning all the aspects of your selfhood given to you through your social environment. Usually this contains a lot of information because it includes so much, such as your "status", your values, your political leanings, etc etc. So if you're having any self limiting beliefs about learning the guitar (I.e. I'm too old, I'm not as talented as other people, I need to be doing something more productive with my time) then it is useful to go through each thought and balance it with self-enquiry. Ask yourself if you can know that it's absolutely true. Ask yourself if you can know that the antithesis of that thought is any less true. Ask yourself which thought causes suffering and a feeling of seperateness and which thoughts inspire you. Ask yourself if there are any good reasons to hold onto this thought.

I think we have a very heavy culture and we need to balance quite a lot of material so that we don't get inundated with expectations and comparisons.

Anyways, congrats on picking up the guitar. Enjoy the ride!
