Orange and yellow chakra development part 2

[Plenum]

Does anybody have any good info or advice concerning the healing, balancing, or overall development of the orange and yellow chakras?

it's good to know what you're starting with, before you can really get into things.

But in terms of my own (current) understandings, I would use this as a baseline:

Orange Ray: deals with the incarnate Personality, and our innermost desires.  When there is a real freedom of the self, we don't in any way feel confined or restricted, and we are just happy being who we are.  

This is love (and acceptance) of self.  We actually really like who we are!  


Yellow Ray: we also develop a socially-constructed self, starting from an early age.  This is an 'image' of how we see ourselves/would like others to see us.  Many internal conflicts can arise here.

We may have an unrealistic self image - in terms of being able to socially fulfill what we 'expect' of ourselves.  Disappointments will follow, when we think we have to match up to some standard (a self constructed one), and we don't have the means to do so.  Shame is a good barometer of this.

We can also have an overly rigid self image.  If others don't see us *exactly* like we want to be seen, this can trigger resentment.  Why is someone putting me down, not acknowledging all my awesome qualities

in terms of moving forward (with development) it's good to gauge what your starting point is.

What the current issues and patterns are.  

Tuning into family relationships - how one relates to male members of your family, how you relate to female members of your family - how you relate to your mother as opposed to your father - how you relate to your grandparents (on both sides) - and how you relate to your cousins - will usually reveal many sticking points, in terms of acceptance, and shared Experiences (from childhood).

You can then dig into those to gain greater Acceptance.

We usually have all the catalyst that we need.  It's more a matter of RECOGNITION, and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, which begins to unlock the inner doorways.

I would start with orange-ray first.  If you can't accept yourself fully, it just creates ongoing difficulties in trying to work with your socially-constructed self.
