Mother’s protection
It is a universal finding that goes beyond humans and indeed beyond mammals that mother’s presence is the most soothing and reassuring for the children. It is indeed the complete security of mother’s bond of love that we are meant to experience first in this world. Any lacking in that has long term consequences, psychologically and not only. Of course such a key aspect of our gross as well as subtle constitution is given a central place in our subtle system. The sense of security, of being looked after by a loving, stronger / higher power resides in our centre heart. It is thus right in the middle of our subtle system, from a vertical as well as horizontal perspective, a true focal point of balance and symmetry. When all is well with our centre heart, the power of it can flow towards others through the left and right heart chakras and give them emotional comfort and security as well as physical protection and safety respectively. Vertically it is also a transition point from the chakras dealing more with our own personal life and conduct to the ones through which we report more to each other as well as the divine power.
It is easy to see that this chakra is under constant and growing pressure in the modern world. Social and economical realities of our time limit the expression of the ideal mother - child bond in a myriad ways. There are also countless little fears and a growing number of big fears that confront us every day. From a physical perspective the immune system of a very large and increasing number of people is not functioning well and reacts in exaggerated and misdirected ways to either innocuous stimuli or to to our own body, giving rise to allergies and autoimmune diseases. In fact current knowledge has started to accept that immunity has a key role to play in cancer as well and that restoring and enhancing it are key ways for a lasting cure. From a psychological perspective the epidemic of anxiety and related conditions is overwhelming the health systems everywhere to the extent that we are now turning to artificial chatbots for help…
When our Kundalini awakens, she relaxes and re-energizes our centre heart. The strength in our center heart will also manifest though many facets that we can easily associate with mother’s care - a sleep without worries, feeling at peace, expressing affection and forgiveness and many others. It is also a fact that a pure, innocent chid is the best to both elicit as well as appreciate the presence and protection of the mother. Thus, the more we are expressing that eternal child-like nature, the easier it will be to allow both our Kundalini as well as the all-pervading power to look after us. Just as the child surrenders most things to his or her mother, we also learn to surrender the inner process of evolution to our motherly energy and our worldly tribulations to the care of the divine power. We not only understand but we actualize the reality that security and fearlessness are one side of the power and surrender is the other, as neither can exist in separation.
