Let Your Chakras Guide You to Your Deepest Yearning

by Priyanka Bakhru Talwar

The human story involves beginning with love, being wounded by those we love, seeking or escaping love, and then finally coming back to love. Every single aspect of our personality develops from this core, and it all starts with that first wound to the love in our hearts. The first blow in our formative years creates the original yearning to heal it, and so the shaping of our personality, beliefs and defense mechanisms begins. There are only two original yearnings -the yearning for belonging and the yearning for freedom. Both of which motivate us, drive us, torture us and fulfill us.

The Relationship of Our Chakras

Now, let’s study the relationship between the chakras, these soul yearnings and the emotional wounds that everything pivots around. The seven chakras can be the most magical guide to unearth our deepest yearning, and by association, the original wound to our innocent selves, which get formed during the formative early years of our lives. The first wounds are either abandonment or rejection.

Assessing the emotions that relate to the lower chakras, a blocked root chakra causes physical fears and patterns about the basics or roots – finances, food, home, survival and physical health, etc. The emotional belief that manifests all of these is ‘I don’t deserve to be on this earth,’ and therefore, a tendency to energetically manifest difficulty with the basics of living. A blocked sacral chakra involves fears and patterns around sexuality, guilt, joylessness and a seriousness of being. All of these stem from a core belief that ‘I have to prove my right to exist and to receive’ making everything tougher and harder.

Both of these harmful self-beliefs start with the wound of abandonment. In infancy or even in the womb, if a child is made to feel unwanted by its mother or if the mother is unable to care for the child, the soul’s introduction to this world is one of fear, anxiety and abandonment, and that forever becomes how we view and deal with the world. Depending on the degree of the wound and other family dynamics, this pattern would either create a weak, fearful and clingy person or an indifferent, aloof escapist. In either scenario, the soul’s deepest yearning is to feel a sense of belonging – one that it never received from the moment of birth.
