When fully enlightened by the Kundalini, the Nabhi chakra gives us unconditional generosity, complete contentment and profound inner peace. The Nabhi Chakra is the center of our seeking and of our balance. We seek food, shelter and comfort. Ultimately, even though we may not be aware of it, we seek to evolve into a higher state of spiritual awareness.
THE RIGHT NABHI looks after the upper part of our liver, the seat of our attention. If the right Nabhi is blocked, then it is difficult to settle peacefully in meditation. Liver problems also cause irritability expressed through aggressiveness, discontent and a grumbling nature.
CAUSES OF PROBLEMS IN THE RIGHT NABHI
controlling people or things; materialism; greed; fanaticism; liver imbalance from eating heavy foods, by thinking too much, by taking alcohol or drugs.
TREATMENT: Take cold foot soaks; place right left hand on liver; place an icepack on liver (RIGHT SWADHISTHAN/NABHI). SEE: CLEARING THE RIGHT SIDE
NUTRITION FOR THE RIGHT SIDE
Cut out red meat, fish, fried and processed foods from our diet and eat more steamed vegetables and carbohydrates. Again, mung beans and mung dal are good sources of protein for the right side as they are light and easy to digest. Nuts and seeds, dried fruits are heating and, if eaten, should be consumed in small amounts
Coffee, black tea, caffeinated soft drinks, chocolate, and fermented foods also produce heat and should be avoided.
THE LEFT NABHI is the center which sustains our household and family, our food and shelter. If the Left Nabhi center is blocked we feel agitated, unsettled and dissatisfied
CAUSES OF PROBLEMS IN THE LEFT NABHI: greed / lack of generosity / selfishness; worry; mess / disorder; family and household problems.
TREATMENT: work on the chakra with a candle or a camphor flame. Place the right hand on the Left Nabhi and say: (IN MY SPIRIT) I AM CONTENT / I AM FILLED WITH PEACE
SHRI MATAJI’S ADVICE ON THE NABHI
So at the Nabhi Chakra one has to know that one should not hanker after money too much. Now, those who hanker too much after money, may develop their right side better. They may have money, no doubt, but they miss their left side. Left side is GRUHA LAKSHMI (HOUSEWIFE QUALITIES). They have no Gruha Lakshmi in their house. They are very hectic people, they run about. They run the rat-race, they get heart attacks. If not heart attacks they will get leukemia, they will get diabetes, liver problems – all such diseases. Because their attention is on money and not on God.
Attachment to money, attachment to people, attachment to this, is nothing but a hook which hooks you to baser levels. You have to rise above and then you really enjoy the beauty of richness. As I told you the other day, I see all beautiful things, it’s nice that I don’t possess them. See now these carpets are spread here. If they were mine I should worry, ‘oh god, I hope they are not going to be spoiled, I hope nobody sits on them .
I hope they are insured and nobody runs away with them.’ But when they don’t belong to me I am enjoying them better – other peoples things, is a better idea. This myth carries us to such an extent of stupidity that sometimes I wonder whether these human beings are human beings or they are their possessions. Their Spirit is lost, everything is lost – they are not bothered. But if their little possession is lost they weep and weep, as if they are dead.
“The third centre which we call as the Nahbi Chakra, this centre is on one side is made of water, another side with fire, around it are our ten valencies which we can call as our innate religion within ourselves
Now this Nahbi itself, or we can call it the Solar Plexus, or we can say the Navel chakra, as soon as the Kundalini rises, she awakens this. And the light, when it spreads, you become religious. I don’t have to tell you anything – you just become. I don’t have to say that you don’t take drugs – you just don’t take it
Overnight I have seen people have given up drugs, alcoholism, everything! And they enjoy their virtues, that’s the best part of it. Some people think ‘oh then what is the fun?’ What is this that you take something in the pub and next day you have a hangover? Here you take something and next day
you’re much better off. It never comes down. It never gives you a reaction.
It’s not artificial, its not intoxicating, it is from your nerves it’s bubbling out. So this is the centre which is very important in us because most of us have a problem with this centre. And here we have a capacity, by this centre, that we enjoy our generosity
Now we are materialistic. It’s a good idea, to be materialistic. But the aesthetics of matter are that you can give it to others
suggesting your love. I think that’s the only thing matter can do. And in a very special way you can express that love.
For example somebody likes a particular thing and you go all the way to get it and give that small thing, very small thing to the person and the joy, not out of the money that you have spent, but the feelings you have expressed, of knowing what that person would love; and this kind of a depth develops within you. Such a loveable beautiful society you enter into, and you don’t need anything because everybody is looking after your needs.”
