• 2nd Gate - Sacral Chakra

  2^nd Gate – Sacral Gate: This gate represents pleasure and is blocked by guilt. To open this gate, one must let go of the guilt that ties them down.

   

              This gate is all about pleasure. Pleasure, in this sense, means general feelings of happiness brought on by an action or experience. With the last Gate, we removed our fear of our actions and now enter into this area. At some point, you are going to bump into some actions that cause you to feel guilty. This guilt will cause you to regress and you will close not only this gate, but the 1^st as well.

             

  Feeling guilty about something is a natural thing. It is how we come to experience what is right and wrong for ourselves. What is unhealthy is to let that guilt control you and your advancement in life. The proper way to deal with that guilt is to learn from the experience and move on. Feeling sorry for yourself won’t fix anything and you’ll just harbor on the feelings. By learning from it, you’ve validated the experience and have become a stronger individual in the process.

   

  As a Christian, this way made simple by understanding, for myself at least, that things happen for a reason and if we take the time to understand, we can learn from just about everything that comes our way. Due to this, I have been able to look back on my past decisions and correct what I felt was not helping me. Some things were pretty black and white while other events weren’t so distinct.

   

  If you aren’t a Christian, go with what you feel. If guilt sets in after something, it might not be the thing for you. Reflect on your actions and take what you can from the experience then move on. Life is far too short to dwell on guilt. What ever you use as a basis for your morality will be better understood or maybe even expanded by opening this gate.

   

  Once we allow ourselves to be free of whatever fear, the obvious backlash could be overindulgence. By recognizing and opening this gate, you allow yourself to observe temperance that isn’t perpetuated by a fear mongering concept. It is a self-induced sense of moderation that isn’t a burden to observe.
