Energy Centers and Cancer🔗

Svādhiṣṭāna cakra- Gaining Confidence

There are 7 major energy centers in our body, called cakras in Sanskrit. They are directly connected to our emotions and impact different aspects of our personality and the way we relate to ourselves, others, and to Existence.

Each planet resonates with a particular energy center in the body. The watery energy of the Moon is connected to Svādhiṣṭāna cakra located below the navel region. Its energy can sometimes imbalance the cakra, especially when the person has too many fears! Svādhiṣṭāna flowers when you face your fears, and stop fearing them.

First of all understand that all small fears are mere projections of the ultimate fear of death. Second, don't resist the fear in you. Just keep repeating to yourself that you are scared and go through it, that's all! You will soon find that the fear is no longer there because you saw it through. Start doing this every time you feel fear.

When you consciously work on this, you will understand that what you call fear is nothing but your response or reaction to an incident or thought. Depending on how you respond, you can claim that you did not have fear or had fear. And, with more and more awareness, you can respond towards fear without fear!

Remember one thing: No one can claim to be fearless. One can only learn to handle fear without fear, that’s all.

In a birth chart, many influences have to be considered to find out one's body type. Consulting an experienced Ayurvedic doctor will help you to understand your body constitution.

Generally, the Ayurvedic dośa (body constitution) related to Cancer is kapha.

Let's use this scale:

If you experience symptoms such as lethargy, a feeling of heaviness, nausea, chills, looseness of the limbs, coughing, mucus discharges, breathing difficulties and a tendency to sleep too much and high cholesterol, you may be suffering from kapha imbalance. Other symptoms can be inertia, congestion, stagnation and circulation problems. There may be a tendency toward obesity and boredom, depression, apathy, laziness, and mental dullness may be present.

If you are easy going, forgiving, physically strong, stable and reliable, slow to anger, active and positive minded, have a strong immune system, full of mental resolve, rational thinking, endurance, adaptability, long term memory, then your kapha is balanced.

Here are some of the common characteristics of people who have predominantly kapha body constitution:

○ Relaxed disposition, slow paced

○ Loving, forgiving, compassionate personality

○ Stable nature, reliable

○ Faithful

○ Physically strong and heavy and large body, enduring constitution

○ Slow speech, good memory power,

○ Large watery eyes

○ Prone to heavy depression ○ Gentle, self sufficient

○ Excellent health, strong resistance to disease,

○ Slow to anger, greedy, envious

○ Tend to hold on to things, possessive of people, money

○ Physical problems generally include colds and congestion, sinus, headaches, respiratory problems including asthma and wheezing, hay fever, allergies, and atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and constipation.

Kapha people are prone to lethargy, sluggishness and overweight. Therefore, they need activity and stimulation more than the other types of constitution. Daily exercise is a must for them. Getting out of the house, walking and actively seeking new and different experiences, breaking their routine is also valuable. They should learn to be receptive to useful change, renounce impediments to progress, implement life solutions and choose foods, mental attitudes, behaviors, exercise, relationships which can help them to balance kapha characteristics.

Food items to balance kapha:

Kapha people should consume little fried or fatty foods; avoid icy drinks, sweets or excessive amounts of bread. Butter, ice cream, cheese and milk should be avoided; they are among the worst foods which aggravates kapha. The consumption of salt should be kept in check, as it creates water retention in kapha body types.

They should enjoy plenty of fresh vegetables, raw fruits and salads. Pungent, bitter, and astringent tastes decrease kapha influences. Black pepper, ginger, cumin, chili, and some other spices provide the pungent taste; bitterness is provided by some green leafy vegetables like lettuce, endive and some green vegetables and beans provide the astringent taste, like cucumber and unripe fruits.

Moon natives can be benefitted through techniques which boost their body, enable them to let go of their emotions, and counter their mental stagnation. Cancer people should do more active forms of meditation, including mantra chanting or meditation combined with activity. Yoga and the practice of rituals are also excellent techniques for them.

Here is a meditation for you:

Keep a picture of Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s eyes in front of you.

Total Duration: 41 minutes.

Step 1-Duration: 10 minutes - Sit in vajrāsana (kneel and sit on your heels). Place your hands on your hips. By doing this, you are establishing a connection between the upper and lower parts of your body. Chant ‘hoo’ for as long as possible with each exhalation. Begin again with each inhalation, holding the chant as long as possible as you exhale. Visualize clearly a white light rising within you, going out from the top of the head and circling back into you.

Step 2-Duration: 21 minutes - Continue sitting in vajrāsana. With the hands on the hips, bend down at the hips to touch the forehead to the ground. Continue to chant the 'hoo' sound in this position. Continue to visualize clearly a white light rising within you, going out from the top of the head and circling back into you.

Step 3-Duration: 10 minutes - Open your eyes. Through your third eye, look at Master's third eye in the picture. Clearly visualize a beam of light from Master's third eye entering your third eye.

This meditation is tantra-mantra-yantra, all three put together:

Mantra means using the body physically to get the desired effect sitting in a particular posture and chanting.

Tantra means using the body and mind together to get the desired effect adding the visualization of white light.

Yantra means using an external object to get the desired effect using the picture of Master's eyes.

Swimming proves to be good for this watery sign. Whenever he or she is free, the native can spend time near rivers, lakes, sea shores, as water brings relaxation to this watery sign. Also, gentle yoga postures which work on svādhiṣṭāna cakra, as well as Sūrya Namaskār (the ancient Sun salutation), can be practiced by all natives!

Śalabhāsana :

Sūrya Namaskār (the Sun salutation) is called the king of asanas. It is a sequence of 12 postures, each symbolizing a sign of the zodiac. This sequence of asanas has the amazing ability to activate the best characteristics of your birth chart by bringing energy to your body, a clearer thinking through emotional balancing, and a restored health, thereby enabling you to express your intelligence and uniqueness. It is a technique to experience a conflict-free life, fulfillment and eternal bliss.

Its practice awakens the body's innate intelligence to produce energy from the sun. It is designed to access the etheric energy all around you. When performed facing the East in the first rays of the morning sun, along with the appropriate breathing technique and the mantra, the effect on the individual mind, body and spirit is incomparable.

It is said that the daily practice of Sūrya Namaskār is enough to work on the whole body organs, cakras and mindfor the whole day.

A mantra is a composition of syllables, words or sentences that, when repeated with awareness and visualization, has a powerful and penetrating influence on the mind. Before each repetition of Sūrya Namaskār, one chants the corresponding mantra, which is a glorification of the Sun. This simple method leads us to the experience that the outer Sun symbolizes the shining intelligence in our inner sky. We come to understand our connectivity to the cosmic energy that pervades all the grahas. The characteristics of our sign get activated to unfold its inherent potential.

● Auṁ hrāṁ mitrāya namaḥ Salutations to the friend of all

● Auṁ hrīṁ ravaye namaḥ Salutations to the shining one

● Auṁ hrūṁ sūryāya namaḥ Salutations to the one who induces activity

To blissfully enjoy the benefits of any āsana, make sure your body is warmed up, the spine limber and stretched out before entering the postures.

Nithya Yoga is Paramahamsa Nithyananda's unique offering to the world, helping the practitioner to be in the state of yoga every moment. You will find further details on the benefits of Sūrya Namaskār in the book titled: Nithya Yoga - The Ultimate Practice for Body Mind and Being.
