For many people, apprehension manifests itself in the physical self as a
potent feeling of heaviness or nausea situated in the depths of the lower
abdomen. And it is there, at the seat of the second or sacral chakra, that we
must lovingly and deliberately confront the anxiety. By rooting down into the
deepest physical reaches of ourselves, we can cleanse ourselves of unease and
replenish the space it has left behind with tranquil awareness. Much of what
we encounter in our daily lives has the potential to awaken feelings of
nervousness within us or make us question whether we are truly in control of
our lives. When you establish a den of peace within your core, you empower
yourself to act rather than react in distressing situations. Your balanced
second chakra helps you respond productively to the turmoil around you while
your inwardly directed attention steadies you.
There are many ways to restore your strength and clear negative energy from
your core. To ground yourself and regain your emotional equilibrium,
concentrate on the second chakra, picturing it as a funnel of vivid orange
light. Reach down toward that light with your awareness and channel your
breath into the space it occupies. As you balance the chakra, you will become
more adaptive and thus better able to stand strong when faced with rapidly changing
conditions. You can channel healing energy into your core by visualizing the
area below your belly button as an open space into which you channel white,
loving light. Like light and air, sound can be a wonderful tool that helps
you find your center. Your voice, when drawn from your core in the form of a
deep roar or loud shout, can be the vehicle upon which your anxiety is
conveyed into the ether. Take a low stance, much like a football player, root
your feet into the earth, and then roar like a lion. Really feel it in your
belly. It may sound silly, but chances are you will feel much less anxious
and much more grounded into your body.
A situation that seems hopeless when viewed from a perspective colored by
fear may become easily manageable when approached with a serene heart and
mind. As you root down into your core, you’ll discover that the trepidation
and helplessness you feel within you is not invincible. Rather, it will
respond readily to your efforts to eradicate it, leaving you feeling peaceful
and capable of calmly handling any challenging circumstances that
arise.
