Root Chakra Pick-a-Card

For this PAC, I want to start my longtime project of launching a general reading that has the themes of Chakra development. And since we're talking about the Root Chakra, also called Muladhara, this reading will be talking about your confidence, security, stability, earth energy, and strength.

Choose the picture that calls to you the most.

Pile 1 ➡️ 2

Pile 3 ➡️ 4

Pile 1

Ace of Swords • 10 of Pentacles • King of Swords • 4 of Swords

This pile is very straightforward with its message. In order for you to feel secure and safe in your life, you would need to fight for what you believe in, no matter how many people seem to be against it. Yes, there is a difference between fighting for your beliefs and being outright stubborn. But this pile isn't talking about stubbornness. It's giving the impression that a lot of people seem to knock down your ideas from the get-go. People have the tendency to nip your ideas in the bud, and this tends to affect you tremendously. You can only take so much rejection and disapproval from the people you thought had your back.

But in spite of that, you are called by the Universe — especially by your Highest Self — that you should always be at your corner even when no one else seems to be there any longer. As long as you know you're not hurting anyone and you're not committing something that will put you in harm's way, you have all the right reasons to believe in yourself and in your own voice. Part of developing our Root Chakra is creativity. So, be as creative in spearheading and executing your ideas to fruition as you can. You have the Ace of Swords with the King of Swords in this reading. Wield the sword of wisdom that you've always had inside you, and everything else will follow.

•—•—•—•—•—•—•

Pile 2

7 of Pentacles • 3 of Pentacles • The Morning • 2 of Cups

For those of you who chose this pile, you may have been doing things in your life all by yourself most of the time. It could be your upbringing that conditioned you to think that you can only rely on yourself. But Pile 2, there is absolutely nothing wrong with collaborating with people! I can see a lot of people around you who have genuine intentions of helping you achieve that security you yearn for. Allowing people to help you whenever they can won't make you a weak person. On the contrary, it makes you a self-assured kind of person because it illustrates that your ego isn't so easily damaged by people lending their hand to you.

In addition, this reading is telling you that it's okay to let your guard down. Being able to connect with people is your key to success in securing your safety and stability. I know a lot of you are the type to want to strive all by yourselves. But the old adage proves wisely: "two pairs of hands are better than one." Moreover, the 2 of Cups is signifying that you may also find safety with a romantic partner. There is a high chance that being in a relationship will actually prove to be helpful for you, and that your partner will be the one to aid you through finding security in this life. It could mean that they're very protective of you, being the one to help you with financial matters, or even just being your rock and pillar when you need them to be.

•—•—•—•—•—•—•

Pile 3

9 of Cups • The Night • 3 of Cups • The Tower

With this pile, I can see that generosity is what will bring you safety, stability, and security in this lifetime. By not being so tight-fisted about your resources, you can invite a positive energy into your life; thus, encouraging a string of good fortune and good karma. As long as you're choosing the right people to give assistance and resources to, you're bound to receive some sort of reward for your generous efforts in uplifting other people who need a helping hand from you. In addition, you would have gained alliances and connections with people in their most vulnerable state. I believe that people will remember the good deeds you have done to them, and it will come to your advantage in time.

Speaking of that, when you've given help towards the right kind of people, they will never forget it. I believe that people will remember the good deeds you have done to them, and it will come to your advantage in time. In return, you can rest assured that when the moment comes that you are the one in need of help and assistance, you will have a plethora of people to ask from, and you shall become a part of the cycle of a positive give-and-take. With that, you'll actually be more secure that you think because you have people to back you up instead of bearing your burden alone.

•—•—•—•—•—•—•

Pile 4

The Hermit • 4 of Pentacles • Judgment • The Tower

Wow, out of all the piles, this one is the most blatant in its message, and the opposite of Pile 3. If you've chosen this pile, you need to be wise and frugal with your resources. You cannot be loose with your money, time, efforts, and energy if you want to be safe and secure in this lifetime. I can see how many people prowl around you, ready to take advantage of your kindness and good-hearted nature. You need to wisen up, Pile 4! Not everyone has good intentions for you, and there are people waiting to see you fall and fail so they can pick up the pieces for themselves instead of helping you.

To aid you in this matter, you need to choose your circles very prudently. You cannot afford to be in bad company as it is a waste of time, energy, and they might just take what they can from you in the name of "friendship." Do not be flashy with your wealth or earnings because people can smell that like blood in a pool full of sharks. Avoid distributing your resources to people unless you know they will absolutely pay you back. Just keep on hustling quietly, keep your head down, and make sure that you're mingling with the right crowds.

Swadhisthana, a term derived from Sanskrit, translates to “where your being is established.” Breaking it down, “swa” means self, and “adhishthana” signifies established. In the realm of Hindu Tantrism, Swadhisthana stands as the second primary chakra, intricately connected to the exploration of fear, particularly the fear of death.

Which mudras are good for balancing the Muladhara chakra?

Balancing the Muladhara chakra, also known as the Root chakra, involves various practices, including specific mudras (hand gestures) that can help channel energy and promote stability and grounding. Two effective mudras for Muladhara chakra balancing are:

Prithvi Mudra (Earth Mudra): To perform this mudra, touch the tip of your ring finger to the tip of your thumb while keeping the other fingers extended. Prithvi Mudra is associated with the Earth element and helps to enhance feelings of stability, security, and grounding, which are key attributes of the Root chakra. It can also aid in digestion and overall well-being.

Ganesha Mudra: In this mudra, interlock your fingers with your palms facing you, then turn your left hand to face away from your body and press your hands together. Ganesha Mudra is associated with Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. It can help you overcome challenges and obstacles, fostering a sense of security and confidence in the Root chakra.

By practicing these mudras, you can connect with the energy of the Muladhara chakra, promote a sense of grounding, and enhance feelings of safety and stability in your life. Incorporate them into your meditation or yoga routine for maximum benefit.

A common idea was there among the scholars around the world about the nature and it's relation to human beings.

Truth or Wisdom or Reality is one and it was accepted by all the scholars throughout the world. So the Truth was explained by the ancient scholars in different ways or tastes depend upon the region and it's culture and the language.

Truth is one and only like the Sun which is common to all the region of the earth.

How and where the Kundalani

is seated?

நாபிக்குக் கீழே பன்னிரண்

டங்குலந்

தாபிக்கு மந்திரம் தன்னை அறிகிலர்

தாபிக்க மந்திரந் தன்னை அறிந்தபின்

கூவிக்கொண்டு ஈசன் குடியிருந்தானே. - Thirumular - Thirumanthiram

This mantra helps in the act of breath retention below the navel region . It is a rare art that helps the practitioner to advance on the Yoga path.

எருவிடும் வாசற் இருவிரல் மேலே

கருவிடும் வாசற் கிருவிரற் கீழே

உருவிடுஞ் சோதியை உள்க வல்லார்க்குக்

கருவிடுஞ் சோதி கலந்து நின்றானே. - Thirumular - Thirumanthiram

Two finger length above the anus

Two finger length below the sex organ,

Lies the Kundalani Fire

If you meditate on the Light

That burns there,

You shall be one with Lord,

Who all births ends.

Muladhara 🌱🔴

⚠️ Information provided is from my own opinions and research, please take this information at your own risk and do your own research ⚠️

Root chakra 🌎🌱

Muladhara In Sanskrit means “foundation”

It is the foundation of the physical structure and Energy body.

“Mula” = root

“Adhara” = support or base

The root chakra is the 1st chakra the foundation/base, located between anal outlet and genital organ (coccyx bone/ perineum area). Balancing root chakra creates a solid foundation for opening the chakras above. A firm and strong foundation is important so it can provide stability. If the root chakra is not stabilized one cannot maintain good health, well-being, sense of stability or completeness. If root chakra isn’t balanced everything else is also not balanced or working like it should. Organs related to the root chakra are large intestine, kidneys, bladder, rectum (organs that deal with elimination) sciatic nerve, bottom of the feet, feet, legs, genitals, digestive system, adrenal glands.

Instinctual- emotional survival center

Sense of smell

Flight or fight response

Responsible for fear

Basic needs are food, water, shelter, safety, security

Emotional needs of a person are related to root chakra if blocked, stagnant or imbalanced ➡️ persons sense of belonging to this world can be at risk

not stable or secure foundation ➡️ issues with safety and security

Survival, Safety, Security = Root chakra (activated in womb or birth).

Root chakra ties in with our ancestors. We inherit our ancestors suffering/ trauma through DNA🧬Early life experiences get imprinted on root chakra. Childhood trauma affects root chakra. Any experiences your ancestors or family has had (traumatic) affect root chakra.👵🏽👴🏼👦🏽👧🏽👶🏻

Early childhood trauma

Early childhood instability in family life

Mom or dad leave or are absent in childhood

Moving a lot (homes) 🏠

Frequent sense of not having sufficient food or money (sense of scarcity) 💰

⚠️Sense of scarcity causes you to not enjoy what you have ⚠️

- compulsive shopping or hoarding

Imbalances in root chakra ⛔️

Anxiety, fears, nightmares

Loss of energy, insecure, restless, low self esteem, depression, suicidal thoughts 💭 ⬇️🪫

Physical imbalances manifest as problems in the colon, bladder , constipation, lower back, leg, feet issues

Eating disorders can be a sign of root chakra imbalances

For men prostate problems can occur

Weight, sciatica, hemorrhoids and knee problems

Healing/ Balance/ Remedies ⚖️

Meditation, and connection with your higher self and trust in a higher power 🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏻🧘🏻‍♂️

Smell is the sense connected to root chakra so focus on tip of your nose to help align root chakra 👃

Yoga, mantras,crystals (Garnet, red jasper, black tourmaline, bloodstone, Smoky quartz, hemitite, obsidian, malachite ) 🔮

Kegel exercises

LAM (sound)

Sound of drums 🥁

Red color associated with root chakra 🔴

Add more red food to your nutrition (root vegetables)🍓🍒🍎🌶🍉🥩🍄🍅🍝🥔🥕

Pelvic & lower back exercises

Grounding, connect with earth through physical activity outdoors or in nature ( swimming in a lake, walking barefoot on grass) 🏊🏼‍♀️🌷🌹🌻🌴🌼☘️🍃🌳

Psychotherapy, reiki healing, affirmations, sound vibration (drums)

Essential oils/ incense myrrh, ginger, rosemary, sandalwood, ylang ylang

Asana yoga poses ( yin yoga)

Moving body- dancing 🕺🏻💃🏻🪩

Slow down go with the flow 🌊

Animal proteins( or any proteins in general ) tofu.

Beef, chicken, turkey, eggs

Care for body

Get full body massage

Acupressure on feet & legs

Moving body

Journal work

Eat healthy food ( sweets/sugary foods lead to not having a strong root chakra 🛑) overindulge or emotional eating. Eat foods to nourish your body.

Healthy root chakra

Feels comfortable in your own skin. Feeling confident

A good healthy root chakra strengthens reproductive functions, adrenal glands, bladder, hips, knees & ankles

Os chakras

Os chakras vindos de conceitos que pertencem a vertentes indianas e tântricas e com ligação ao Yoga e Ayurveda, também chamados de Padma significando "Lótus" é um elo de energias que agem na mente, corpo e espírito, influenciando nas emoções, comportamento, aprendizado, comunicação e outros fatores. Esses pontos podem ser abertos ou fechados através de terapias ou cotidiano como Reiki, Pedras, Óleos Essências, Meditação, Yoga ou até mesmo alimentação. Todos nós temos 7 chakras e cada um deles está associado a um elemento. Estão organizados numa hierarquia evolutiva de necessidades humanas, iniciando pela sobrevivência e evoluindo para transformação espiritual. Se um chakra esta em equilíbrio esta energia flui pelo nosso corpo e se esta bloqueado tudo se trava sendo impossível a circulação, causando desequilíbrio físico, mental, espiritual e emocional. O corpo e a mente são influenciados pela sua energia interior e pela energia de um todo à sua volta, sendo necessário mante-los equilibrados para uma vida feliz e tranquila. Partindo de um conceito que a felicidade é um estado de espírito e não um facto. Apresentamos assim os chakras e o modo de como devemos cuidar de toda esta energia. CHAKRA DA RAIZ OU MULADHARA Significa: Suporte. Está ligado aos órgãos que dão estrutura ao corpo (osso, músculo, coluna, pernas e pés), além do cóccix (períneo) e glândulas suprarrenais (adrenalina). Cor: Vermelho. Elemento: Terra. Quando em desequilíbrio: estresse, solidão e sensação de insegurança. Você também pode sentir espasmos musculares. Alimentação: Como este é o chakra da nossa “raiz”, que representa nossa fundação/estrutura, procure ingerir as raízes da natureza, como beterraba, alho, gengibre, batatas, nabo, cenoura, cebola, etc. Alimentos vermelhos, a cor que simboliza o chakra, também são importantes para equilibrá-lo. Opte por maçã, tomate, romã, morango e cereja. Carne vermelha para aqueles que não são vegetarianos são ótimas para balancear esse chakra também. CHAKRA SEXUAL OU SACRO - SWADHISTHANA Significado: Cidade do prazer. Está relacionado às gônadas (ovários e testículos), à sexualidade, à energia feminina, procriação, ao baixo ventre e criação de projetos. Cor: Laranja Elemento: Água. Quando em desequilíbrio: Impotência, desânimo, incapacidade de se fazer entender pelos outros. Você também pode sentir dores na lombar, alterações de ciclos menstruais, infecções urinárias ou de rins. Alimentação: Seu elemento é a água, então água pura é o melhor que você pode dar ao corpo para equilibrar esse chakra. Porém, também pode aumentar a hidratação com chás e sopas/caldos. Salmão, sésamo, sementes de abóbora e girassol contém gorduras boas que nutrem esse chakra. E os alimentos laranjas, já que a cor do chakra está ligada aos alimentos que o equilibram. Então coma cenoura, laranja, abóbora, manga, pêssego e mamão. CHAKRA DO PLEXO SOLAR OU UMBILICAL - MANIPURA Significado: Cidade das joias. Representa o corpo mental, está ligado ao pâncreas, emoções densas (raiva, tristeza, medo, ansiedade, angústia), e a auto estima, transforma energia bruta em ação. Cor: Amarelo Elemento: Fogo. Quando em desequilíbrio: O Manipura desequilibrado pode gerar sensação de vergonha, baixa autoestima e falta de confiança em si mesmo. Você também pode ter complicações gastrointestinais como má digestão e gastrite. Alimentação: Alimentos amarelos como abacaxi, pimento amarelo, milho, melão e banana. Para o equilibrar, evite açúcar, farinha branca e alimentos muito processados, que são digeridos rapidamente, pois é um chakra que trabalha na transformação de energia, ou seja, precisa de alimentos complexos, como leguminosas (grão de bico, lentilhas e feijões) e cereais integrais (aveia, arroz integral, centeio) que são metabolizados mais lentamente e mantém a energia por mais tempo. Aposte em temperos como gengibre, curcuma e canela que são anti-inflamatórios e aquecem o corpo, energizando o Manipura chakra. CHAKRA CARDÍACO - ANAHATA Significado: Câmara secreta do coração. Localizado no centro do peito, coração, está ligado à glândula timo, ao pulmão, ao amor e relações interpessoais. Relacionado ao equilíbrio, compaixão e sistema imunitário. Representa o corpo astral. Cor: Verde Elemento: Ar Quando em desequilíbrio: Depressão, angústia, taquicardia, irritação. Você pode sentir dores no peito, ter alterações na pressão arterial e dificuldade na respiração. Alimentação: Apostar nos alimentos verdes, da cor do chakra é sempre uma boa ideia. Invista em couve, alface, espinafre, brócolos, couve flor, acelga, kiwi e ervilha. Algas como a espirulina também são ótimas. Além de ervas como orégão, manjericão, alecrim e coentro. CHAKRA LARÍNGEO - VISHUDHA Significado: Purificador do sangue. Está ligado às glândulas tireoide e paratireoide (Filtrar sangue e regular ciclos menstruais). Localizado na garganta, está relacionado à comunicação, expressão, voz, autenticidade, concretização. Cuida da boca, garganta e vias respiratórias. Cor: Azul celeste Elemento: Ar Quando em desequilíbrio: Com o Vishuddha desequilibrado, você pode sentir-se incapaz de tomar decisões, dores no pescoço, tosse, dor de garganta e gengivite. Alimentação: mirtilos e amoras são os alimentos que mais se assemelham a cor desse chakra, mas as frutas de árvores que são “verdadeiras às suas essências” (caem da árvore quando maduras) como maçã, pêssego, pera, damasco e ameixa, por exemplo, também fortalecem Vishuddha. Alimentação mais líquida como sopas, sumos e chás também são ótimas para esse chakra. CHAKRA FRONTAL - AJÑA Significado: Centro de controle, 3º olho. Localizado na testa, entre as sobrancelhas, está relacionado à glândula pituitária ou hipófise. Cuida do lobo frontal, representa nossa lógica, ideias, raciocínio, aprendizagem, intuição. Também está ligado à saúde de olhos e nariz. Cor: Azul índigo Elemento: Todos. Quando em desequilíbrio: falta de foco, sinusite, dor de cabeça, confusão mental, até problemas psíquicos. Quando Ajna está desequilibrado você pode sentir dificuldade de se conectar com seu lado espiritual e de pegar no sono. Alimentação: framboesa, uva roxa, amora, jabuticaba e mirtilo. Alimentos ricos em ômega 3, nutriente para o cérebro, como salmão, sardinha, linhaça, chia e nozes são excelentes para esse chakra. CHAKRA CORONÁRIO - SAHASRARA Significado: Lótus das mil pétalas. Localizado no topo da cabeça, está ligado à glândula pineal ou epífise. Energiza o cérebro, e está relacionado à consciência e a produção de serotonina (sono, apetite, humor), além da nossa porção espiritual, fé e evolução. Cor: Violeta Elemento: Todos. Quando em desequilíbrio: problemas neurológicos, falta de fé, fobias, depressão e tendências suicidas. Sahashara chakra é muito espiritual e pode ser melhor equilibrado com outros tipos de terapias. Porém, como está ligado à serotonina, é possível que se beneficie de alimentos que aumentem a produção desta hormona como o cacau e a banana, que são fontes de triptofano, precursor da serotonina.

Blasfemia

Le pregunté en que dios creía, y empezó a reírse con muchas ganas. -¿De qué te reís? -pregunté. -Dios es un chiste -me sirvió más whisky y agregó -este es tu cáliz, no te distraigas. Con una mano me agarró el kundalini y con la otra me metió el dedo en el tercer ojo, nunca estuvo en la frente, que ingenuo de mi parte. Pregunté si ahora lo que venía era sexo tántrico y me respondió que -No, eso es sadomasoquismo para quienes se creen aspirantes de santxs -y se apretó contra mi. Abracé su cuerpo y también el silencio, pero solo el del lenguaje, porque seguimos haciendo ruiditos y gemidos y unas cosas guturales que podrían sumarse a algún tema romántico de death metal si es que existe tal cosa. Además fue todo bastante oral, por eso también lo del silencio: somos personas educadas y no hablamos con la boca llena. Ella puso toda su concentración en mi chacra muladhara, por fuera y por dentro y más allá también, hasta que me hizo temblar como un poseso mientras me exorcizaba al mismo tiempo (et apprehéndas dracónem, serpéntem antíquum qui est diábolus et sátanas, et ligátum mittas in abyssum)*. -Me ensuciaste la alfombra con tu cordón de plata -dijo falsamente enojada. -Es que soy un demonio en rehabilitación -fue la única defensa que se me ocurrió. Ella me miró, miró al whisky, y cuando posó sus ojos en mí nuevamente ya estaba decidido que íbamos a blasfemar otra vez.

*”y sujeta al dragón, aquella antigua serpiente, que es el diablo y Satanás, para precipitarlo encadenado a los abismos” (Apocalipsis;20:2)

Family

[…]

In order to achieve the money, cleanliness, beauty and brains necessary to live the affluent middleclass life, the household had to run like clockwork. All members were expected to take responsibility and to perform according to their collective roles. Dad—perfect scholar, perfect athlete—was once the perfect son of perfect parents living by the power principle that originally drove him to his perfect goal. Mom, likewise bewitched by appearances, was typically a highly intelligent, ambitious woman who sacrificed her own career for her children, and then more or less unconsciously expected them to achieve what she did not. Her energy went into making her body, her brain, her life, her children into works of art.

The children's accomplishments were not the result of their own selfdetermined goals. They knew what they ought to do, needed to do, had to do, in order to please others. Mother cut her toast in half and used saccharine in her coffee and frowned if her daughter reached for the cream. She treated her own body like a machine and expected her children to perform like perfect machines. If the machine suddenly manifested a life of its own, she was shocked. Her creation was imperfect, perhaps sick, and regarded with veiled distrust. The family members clung to each other symbiotically, so that the individual egos did not mature. Their lives were so circumscribed by the family emotional system that they could not see themselves outside of it. Rather they looked into its mirrors and were caught by its reflections. Perfection in that world became a moral issue to which every member of the family was expected to adhere. No one mentioned that Mom was subject to debilitating depression, nor that Dad often stayed out very late. Fidelity to the family secrets, implicitly demanded, created the strangling bond.

A girl child in this situation will often have been a silent witness to her mother's castration of her father. She lived with her mother's resentment of her father, resentment that surfaced when he failed to be the herohusband her mother thought she married. A little girl caught in the middle may consciously decide that whatever her mother is, she will not be. She will never be a shrew who wages constant war with men. She will never be a cold and sexless body. She will never be "boss" in the household. Rather, she will be a cherishing, supportive wife and mother. In other words she identifies with her mother's shadow, the part of her mother that married her idealized masculine counterpart. Later, a mother in her own household, she attempts to be Earth Mother, abandoning herself to maternal instincts, natural childbirth, breast feeding, health foods and all good things for her children. As queen in her own home, she tries to be the sexy wife her father never had, and hopes her creativity will blossom through her family. The fact is, however, she is not an Earth Mother. Nothing in her background supports what she is attempting to do, nor is she sufficiently in touch with her body to rely on her instincts. She does her best, but she, her husband and her children know it is artificial.

This kind of woman is a powerful magnet to a man until the babies start to arrive. The scenario works quite well so long as she plays out her husband's anima and takes care of the feelings between them. Once she becomes involved with the first child, however, her energy cannot focus exclusively on her husband. As the child begins to develop an ego, the motherchild relationship is turned around, since the feminine side of the mother has not matured. The woman lacks grounding in the feeling values that would support her individual identity. She cannot cope. Genuine relationship she does not understand, and when the child asserts itself the woman cannot affirm her own standpoint. She tends to accept the projection of the child, its evaluation of her. Whatever it wants, it gets. If it strikes out at her, she goes down. She cannot enact the loving discipline that any creature of nature needs in order to build its own strong container. Without boundaries, the child loses its sense of security and becomes tyrannically demanding. If, for instance, a mother loses her sense of identity when her child rejects the natural orange juice she has prepared, she is setting herself up for martyrdom. She becomes depressed and thinks the solution might lie in having another baby. The cycle repeats. That baby too begins to be a little person; it exhibits unexpected emotions, "filthy habits" and boundless energy. Again the stress is too much. The woman again regresses into her Earth Mother fantasy, seeking to heal her injured ego by having yet another baby.

Eventually she may say, "Having a baby is setting out to destroy myself. The efficiency I hated so desperately in my mother is the same efficiency I see in myself in a different guise. I'm chauffeur for skating, swimming, dancing, and all the time there's this hole at the center. And all the time I feel my husband's criticism of my inability to cope." If her husband is not in fact critical, her inner man is. Her sole desire in becoming good wife and mother had been to please men, to compensate for her mother's lack of femininity toward her father. Her overwhelming desire to please makes her into a walking power principle because by pleasing others she is better able to manipulate them, albeit unconsciously. Her persona mask is saying, "Please Daddy by being Earth Mother." At the same time, her shadow is saying, "Stop the chaos. There's got to be order or I'll die." This kind of woman is another version of "Daddy's little girl," and her shadow sister ''takes it like a man." Without the feminine strength to be who she is, her energy swings from the instinctual pole to the spiritual, unable to take a stand as a human being at the center—even as she is unable to stand firm at either pole.

While the family background varies from individual to individual, one aspect seems to be constant. The feminine principle was missing from the family, and this loss was suffered by father and brothers as well as by mother and daughters. "Where love reigns, there is no will to power," wrote Jung, "and where the will to power is paramount, love is lacking." The opposite to love is not hate but power. Power obliterates another's individuality. Where power dominated the household, Dad's feminine soul was as devastatingly raped by the power principle as was that of his wife, especially if he was the beloved son of a domineering mother whom he tried to please. Moreover as a leader in the community he tried to please Mother Society. From a psychological point of view, the whole family—mother, father, daughters, sons—were motherless children who did not receive positive mothering and were, therefore, themselves powerless to give it. In performing their perfect roles, acting out "the good life,'' life itself was somehow neglected.

Children from this kind of home feel they have been waiting all their lives for something to happen, but it never comes. And in the perpetual waiting they are missing the here and now. While the parents may genuinely have felt they were doing their best for their children, they were unconsciously repeating what was done to them—molding their children into a collective image. In order to survive, the children may conform, but underneath there is constellated a "heart of darkness."

Such children may unconsciously develop eating disorders as a defiant rebellion against becoming clones. In a culture whose media extols thinness as the great panacea that will bring happiness, sexuality, selfrespect and social acceptance, they are blind to the insidious lies of the false goddess. Possessed by their own damaged instincts, and ironically driven by the same desire for power that their parents used in raising them, some children wolf down food, or reject it, or vomit it out. Whether that rejection of life is concretized in 200 pounds of armor, or 90 pounds of bone, or vomit in the toilet, the surest way out of the neurosis is to try to understand what food symbolizes in the individual psyche and why the energy is pulled in that direction.

Imagine two magnets. The energy field in one reacts to the energy field in the other. As they come closer, the pull between positive and negative becomes more intense until they leap together. If the magnets have the same energy field, they repel each other. They refuse to connect. Similarly, something in addicts reacts to the food and they are compulsively drawn to or repelled by its energy. "I'll die if I eat, I'll die if I don't." They may be trapped into going with the compulsion (binging), rigidly withstanding it (starving), or be alternately attracted to and repelled by it (bulimic eating and vomiting). Whatever their reaction, food is the magnet around which their lives circulate. In that context, food symbolizes the life force, the Great Mother, with which the wisdom of the body is desperately attempting to connect.

An addict lives a life of selfdenial. Where the parents for their own narcissistic reasons are unable to mirror their child, the child lives with little sense of its own authenticity. When it grows up, it continues to love mother, or father as mother, as a power principle, not as an individual person. Mother gives, mother controls, mother demands performance; the grownup child is still helpless, its very life dependent on pleasing mother. The dependent—and often rebellious—child in the addict typically constellates the controlling mother in the partner, whose underlying message is, "You won't be competent. I will eventually have to be responsible and take care of you, my helpless child." That is power, characteristic of the partner's unconscious attitude, and indeed that of the addict as well. The demanding negative mother, whether internalized or projected onto the partner, destroys the feminine ego in a woman and the anima in a man because it leaves no room for individual feeling. It leaves both addict and partner with only two ways of relating: power or identification with each other.

If, for example, a child kicks its mother in the shin, her natural response is anger. If she can be honest and accept her human condition, and if she genuinely loves the child, she can return a good shout and automatically forgive. If, instead, she responds out of power, then she says, "It's alright, dear, I understand," and does nothing. Her failure to acknowledge her own natural response is inhuman; the child in turn feels its own anger is denied—it is not loved as a whole human being. The unspoken script determining the mother's attitude is, "I will not express what I feel. Neither should you. That would be wrong. And what I do is right." The undifferentiated animus in a

woman locks feeling into this kind of either/or situation. Without a natural exchange, the child is forced into an "accept or rebel" response because it is smothered inside the mother's psychic space. Individual response is not considered and real feeling goes underground, only to erupt in later life in statements like, "If I let my feelings out, I'd blow other people away," or in secret behavior unacceptable to the conscious ego. The either/or animus forces both the outer child and the woman's inner child into manipulation and lying. By rejecting both, the woman causes both to reject themselves. Such rejection fosters revenge.

Positive energy is life, light, god, love. It holds atoms together. When it is recognized as sacred, and when the soul is able to contain it and still allow it to flow, then the virgin is sitting on the lap of the Great Mother. The woman has become conscious of herself as an individual soul. Out of her individual feeling, she loves individually. Her baby kicks and pukes and pees and she holds the paradox: the soul is incarnate. She changes the diapers in the blossoming love of raising the child. Linked to the Great Mother, she sees in the body the soul in action. Securely related to the feminine side of God, she is capable of personal relationships that are no longer based on power or dependency, but on empathy. She is free. Now she can displease the collective and, instead of feeling the terror of rejection, know that she is blessed among women. And her child, inner

and outer, is free to act out of its own nature, able to accept discipline because it is secure in its mother's love. It is no longer outside of life, terrified of rejection and therefore driven to please.

When the veils that surround the addict are stripped away, the obsessive ritualistic behavior can be seen as protection against unendurable pain. To rip away those veils by, for example, forcefeeding an anorexic, or forcing an obese woman onto scales, or forcing a bulimic to stop her rituals, provokes compensatory forces in the unconscious whose strength may far outweigh ego control. To attempt to enforce strict discipline on an ego that has been raped all its life merely reinforces the psychology of the victim and with it the compensatory rebel and liar. Compulsive dieting reinforces already firmly entrenched compulsive patterns and releases more violent compensatory instinctual needs, creating a conflict which tears the soul to shreds and may lead to a psychotic break or suicide. So long as a woman secretly despises her own womanhood, fears her own sexuality, flagellates her body with curses and starvation or food that is poison to her, no healing can take place, however fat or thin she may become.

Addicts relate to the addictive object as helpless children relate to a mother who has total power over them; they have not the individual feeling values which can make them stand up for their own lives. Once trapped in parental images, they are later trapped in these introjected images of themselves. They observe their own behavior by judging how it is going to look from outside, then switch into false feeling. Then they are caught in the complex. (Will I hurt her feelings if I don't eat her cake? If my conversation sparkles, they won't notice I'm not eating.) Impersonalizing themselves permeates every decision. In lifelong eating disorders, addicts have denied the body not only permission to eat but permission to enjoy life. Is it any wonder that it finally succumbs to allergies to almost every food or that its immune system can no longer protect it? Masochism feeds on itself. The oppressed become the oppressors. Delighting in the same vicious games that destroyed them, they corner other people and themselves with their deceitful tricks, then laugh, and smile smugly at their own power.

Consider a simple situation like writing an essay. A food addict begins. to write the paper, then starts to eat. Food becomes more important than ideas; peanut butter jams the typewriter. At that point, if she can stop eating and ask herself what is going on, the addict can separate her own feelings from the complex. The negative mother complex will not want her to accomplish anything for herself. That would be selfish. Only giving is safe. What she has to see is that giving can be rank manipulation. Moreover, the complex interprets receiving as being manipulated, because as helpless child the woman received from powerful, bountiful parents until she had no ego to speak for herself. In her dreams, the complex may manifest as a dutiful sister who parrots all the clichés of the culture. If she can bring the negative mother to consciousness and realize that it is the complex that will not allow her to achieve, "because it isn't nice to be ambitious," then she can stop deceiving herself and decide whether she wants to write the paper or whether she never wanted to go to university in the first place.

Our culture is moving at an alarming pace, spurred by collective values that have little time for individuals. Institutions reinforce the complexes: Mother Church, Mother Social Security, Father Law. People trapped in a negative mother complex fear gifts, whether they are given by persons, state or God; always someone is trying to exploit them and later on the hidden motive will be revealed. The negative mother attempts to twist everything into power and the weak ego colludes in this treachery by failing to believe in its own worth.

In analysis, this power game goes on so long as the analysand projects negative mother or father onto the analyst and attempts to retain power by maintaining the compliant persona which blocks the analyst out. Once a beam of love penetrates to the uncherished child within, out come the tears and repressed rage, and the process begins. Nor can intellectual insight alone release the abandoned child. The body too must go into the fire. The life force manifests biologically as well as psychically. In situations where the child was not wanted, or where a child of the opposite sex was ardently desired, there was nothing the infant could do to be acceptable. That realization would murder the little soul, as a canary dies if it is left alone in a cage. To protect the soul, the Self seems to set up a block, so that the unendurable pain is channelled into the body where nature deals with it as best it can. Because the pain is somatized, its psychological component is not consciously experienced. Obsessive ritualistic behavior is a magical way of holding the unbearable truth at bay, while erratic eating behavior is an attempt to nourish the animal and at the same time kill it. (Introverted intuitives in particular take refuge in the numinosity of their unconscious extroverted sensation, creating elaborate eating rituals to defend themselves.)

In the analytic situation, trust constellates terror of dependency, and vice versa. As the analysis proceeds, the energy pendulum swings farther and with more force, activating dormant resonators that have their source in the primal rejection. An increase in conscious trust between analyst and analysand constellates increasing fear of rejection in the analysand, and a compensatory determination to be the one to do the rejecting. (This is true not only of addicts, and not only in analysis. Anyone rejected as a child will unconsciously attempt to set up a situation in which she or he has to be rejected, or defend against the possibility by being the first to reject.) Until a woman can receive herself, she will unconsciously force others to reject her, despite the fact that her most conscious desire is to be loved. Rejection is annihilating, but even worse is the total collapse of the frail defensive framework when acceptance threatens. "What do I do if someone actually loves me?" At this threshold the full terror of dependency manifests. The stubborn resistance to change which is characteristic of most addicts is often protecting the ego from the abject despair of the primal rejection. Repeatedly, the energy of the dreams circles back to pick up the abandoned baby, or even unborn foetus. When the psyche is strong enough to take the pain of knowing it was unloved, then the body can release its somatized pain. Sometimes with good body work that happens literally from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

Some knowledge of energy centers in the body—the chakras of Kundalini yoga—is invaluable during this period because the mysterious symptoms that appear in various parts of the body may be physically and spiritually related. The wisdom of the East can bring profound insight into what is otherwise blank terror. This is not to belittle Western medical science, which is also necessary during this period, but physical and spiritual awakening belong together. It seems, for example, that when the prime connection was never made with the lowest chakra, muladhara, the individual has survived by sheer will power. When that will power breaks, the individual may be overwhelmed with sloth and an irresistible desire to stay in bed. The psyche, trapped in its somatizations and addictions, may be waiting for the strength to activate the muladhara area, where the real life force is.

At the deepest levels of the psyche, distilled grief often lies in a poisoned pool. The lotus blossom that opens to the sun must have a firm root in clean mud, and when the spiritual eye is activated the area of the perineum is often in turmoil until the entrenched attitude is released. The soul flower finds its nourishment in the roots that go deepest into the dark, rich mud.
