How to Heal Lower Chakras (for Mental Health)

Introduction

Your predominant thoughts are a telltale sign of the workings of your lower chakras.

Want to know how a person thinks?

Simple.

Observe their behavior.

Your thoughts & behaviors go hand in hand. Both, in turn, shape your personality.

In the Chakra framework, the lower chakras (that is, Chakra 1, 2, and 3) form your personality matrix (or ego). In other words, how you think & behave is intimately tied and connected to the health of your lower chakras.

If the majority of your thoughts are negative, so is your behavior.  You are likely to have a big/toxic ego. Your positive thoughts feed into positive behaviors. If you have balanced your lower chakras, you are like to a healthy ego.

How do you change your default thinking patterns? Commit to healing your lower chakras.

The Core Reason for your Negative Thoughts

There are three mind matrices connected with the lower chakras. These are the Subconscious mind, the Instinctual Mind & the Conscious mind. Together, these three matrices are responsible for the quality of your thinking. So if you get struggle with fear or anxiety, then the lower chakras are what you need to work with.

Of the three mind matrices, we are only are somewhat aware of the Conscious Mind. That’s because we live in the third dimension (3D reality). 

The first step in healing your lower chakra is to cultivate self-awareness. Because that’s how you become aware of the content stored in the mind matrices. As you learn to quiet your mind, you will become present to how you think. You will become familiar with your emotional encumbrances, and coping mechanisms. Your addictive tendencies become glaringly obvious.

For example, overeating was how I dealt with feeling afraid, confused or vulnerable. Perhaps your choice of addiction looks different. The billion-dollar question to ask is Why the Addiction? Why we struggle with shame, guilt, fear, worry and other negative thoughts?

Dr. Gabor Mate says, Addiction is a response to Emotional pain. I’d go a step further & assert, Negative Thoughts as a response to Emotional Pain.

Where does your Emotional Pain stem from?

In the Chakra framework, Chakra 1 is the storehouse of your emotional memories. And Chakras 2 houses the emotional pain. The tragedy is we have zero awareness of the information stored in these two lower chakras.

Your emotional pain cam stem from varied experiences. For example,

• Having experienced abuse or trauma at a physical, mental, emotional & spiritual level.
• Having experienced heartbreak.
• Bad things happening. And also good things not happening.
• Issues connected with the second chakra. That is, relationships, emotions, intimacy, bonding, childhood pain & trauma.
• Issues connected with the base desires. That’s everything related to sex and sexual energy. Including themes of porn, strip clubs, and dating sex-hookup websites. When there’s misuse or abuse of your sexual energies, it adds to inner pain & disconnection.

Without awareness of emotional pain, you get stuck in negative thoughts & addictions.

Why Positive Thinking (alone) doesn’t work?

The first line of defense against negative thinking for most people is to think positive.

Do you go out of your way to be generous? Or have you become obsessed about discipline as a way to get a handle on your thinking? Or you try to be kind to random strangers. These strategies, while admirable, don’t offer permanent relief.

To get rid of your negative thoughts, you must commit to deep dive into your psyche.  You must commit to befriending your shadow.

If you struggle with chronic negative thinking, you are likely to have a bloated ego. People might nudge you to tame your ego. They’ll tell you to humble yourself, or to not brag about your success, or learn to put others first. These suggestions don’t work in the long run because they don’t address the source of causation.

Why you get stuck in your Negative Thoughts?

Do you struggle to get a handle on your negative thoughts? Overtime, chronic negative thoughts become permanent fixtures in your psyche. Like house guests that refuse to leave.

Everything you think or feel becomes colored by your negative thoughts. Once your negative thinking becomes hardwired, negative spirits can become attached to your aura.

Do you remember the Tuning Fork experiment from high school? In this experiment, a vibrating tuning fork makes sound, and causes other things to vibrate with the same frequency.

Using the tuning fork analogy, when your predominant thinking is negative, you magnetize negative situations towards yourself. As within, so without

What is Predator Mind Thinking?

Your hardwired negative thoughts and emotional pain make you think like a predator. Like a wild animal, a predator mind preys on the weak and vulnerable, instinctively. For example, domestic violence & child abuse is a manifestation of the predator mind.

The core ideology of the predator mind is that it’s superior to everyone else. So it plays out the Superiority complex of the polarity, and projects inferiority on others.

Without awareness, your inner pain & disconnection can manifest as untrustworthy behaviors. Such as lying, cheating, gas lighting, lack of empathy for self & others. Acting entitled, exploiting others and not respecting their boundaries.

How to heal your Unhealthy Ego?

Let’s discuss practical steps you can take to heal your unhealthy ego.

Solution #1:

Identifying the superior & inferior thinking in everyday life. Make an inventory of your thoughts and classify them as Inferior or Superior thoughts, Love thoughts or Fear thoughts.

Superior Thinking includes: Intolerance, Impatience, Arrogance, Manipulation, Attack, Anger, Judgmental thinking.

Inferior Thinking includes: Worry, Low Self Love or Esteem, Jealousy, Guilt, Hurt, Fear, Attachment, and Martyrdom.

Reflect on how do these thoughts serve you? What would it take to cultivate neutral mindset? The best antidote to the superiority complex is emotional & psychological centering.

Solution #2

Commit to addressing any & all repressed pain. Be it from your childhood or adult years.

Your emotional pain is the root cause of your negative thinking. You can’t escape this pain, not if your goal is to change your thinking & mindset. Healing your emotional pain will also contribute to healing your lower chakras.

Solution #3

Contemplate on the positive polarity thoughts. Such as, purity, generosity, patience, generosity, kindness, discipline and humility.

Often, reflection alone can nudge you to act and think in positive ways.

Gentle Reminder

To make headway with inner work, you’ll need to learn to quiet down your busy mind. If it feels supportive, consider cultivating a daily meditation practice.

Being angry, or judgmental, is a manifestation of the unresolved ego. It means more work needs to be done in the lower three chakras.

Healing your lower chakras takes time, effort, patience and devotion. So please be kind towards yourself. Healing the 3 lower chakras is like running a marathon. It is highly unlikely you can run 26 miles overnight. The same applies to healing your negative ego & your lower chakras.
