It’s been said before here in the ToZ about how humanity has fallen to a low level.

The Sacral chakra rules sexuality, creativity, pleasure. Blockages here result in neuroticism, and this has manifested as a neurotic obsession over physical appearance. When people have no access to their higher chakras (higher states of consciousness), they are stuck on the level of what is or isn’t considered physically attractive.

An example about the neurotic obsession over what is or isn’t considered physically attractive: a lot of what is considered to be beautiful, objectively is not. Many clothing trends are objectively ugly, yet because fashion companies push them as attractive, the lower people with low consciousness believe them, without thinking for themselves if it is truly beautiful or not. And a lot of clothes and hairstyles that are objectively beautiful are harshly disregarded as being “outdated” and called ugly, simply because the media says so. Most people don’t even try thinking for themselves, they are programmed.

Another manifestation is neuroticism over food (Sacral chakra rules pleasure, this ties in with the sense of taste). Anorexia and other eating habits are prevalent, in fact anorexia has risen among young men (but is still far more common among women due to society’s pressure on women to be “skinny”).

You might remember the “armpit fat” craze some years ago, with celebrities being shamed for having a tiny bit of flesh showing at the top of their armpits. Magazines and internet articles would have pictures with red circles around women’s armpits when they wore strapless or thin strap dresses, showcasing the tiny bit of flesh. This is neurotic.

Paying attention to one’s looks is fine, such as wearing the best colors for your skin tone and having a flattering haircut. But people who are mentally low and stuck on the Sacral level with blockages in this chakra can’t even get a grip on reality. It’s not just women; too many men these days spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make their hair look like an anime character, and obsessing over removing body hair, or trying to squeeze into the skinniest jeans they can.

It’s healthy to care about your baseline physical appearance:

-exercise so you feel good and have vitality (without being obsessed over precise body fat percentages or a number on the scale; and not harshly judging those who have “armpit fat” or a “muffin top”)

-wear clothes that you like and flatter your individual body type with colors that flatter your skin tone (without obsessing over what is currently trendy; and not harshly judging those who are wearing clothes that are “outdated”)

-have a hairstyle you like (without spending an hour or more every day styling it; and not harshly judging those who don’t have a hairstyle that is considered modern and trendy)

-for women who want to, wear makeup that accentuates your looks (not spending over an hour every day making your face look like plastic with tons of “contouring/ highlighting/ bronzing/ etc”; and not harshly judging those who prefer to look more natural)

When you free your mind and your Sacral chakra, you can rise upwards. You will have a more relaxed attitude about how you look, you will be more accepting of your appearance and less judgmental of how other people look. By this I don’t mean accepting obesity and disregard for personal hygiene, I mean you won’t obsess endlessly over a freckle or a stray eyebrow hair or exact body fat percentages.

Something far more important than physical appearance is the personality. As in, the actual person: your attributes, character, interests, hobbies, habits, way of speech, qualities, things you have mastered, and so on.

The personality develops properly when all the chakras are clean and open. A person with a closed, blocked, dirty Throat chakra doesn’t even have a real functioning personality yet, so why stay stuck on the Sacral level? It’s pointless, when there is so much more to a person. Humans have so much more potential than just the physical appearance; we have our minds and our souls to develop as well.

For young members here, don’t care so much about what your peers and the media say about your looks. Know that they are on a lower level of consciousness, and there are far more important things to care about. As for eating disorders, you need to eat enough to properly fuel your body and mind; it’s as simple as that. Don’t ever starve yourself. Ignore what they say, and just do what is best for you.

Clean your chakras, heal your mind, rise to a higher state of consciousness. Become a fully-functioning human on the road to Divinity.
