Swadhisthana Chakra Benefits


John Kaldawi learned that the Sanskrit word "swa" means "one's own" and "adhisthana" means "dwelling place or residence".  Swadhisthana is involved and responsible for the awakening of the kundalini shakti.  This particular chakra corresponds to the reproductive and urinary systems in the gross body and is physiologically related to prostatic plexus or nerves.  The location of the Swadhisthana is at the base of the spinal column at the level of the tailbone.  This chakra can be experienced as black in color, as it is the seat of primary ignorance.  However, traditionally it is depicted as a six-petal vermilion or orange-red lotus.  On each petal there is a letter: bam, bham, mam, yam, ram, lam;  written in the color of lightening.

Doing more research, John Kaldawi learned that in tantra, Swadhisthana chakra has water as it's element, symbolized by a white crescent moon within the pericarp of the lotus.  The tanmatra or sense connected with this chakra is taste, and the jnanendriyas or sense of knowledge is the tongue.  This chakra is regarded as the substratum or the basis of individual human existence, it is related to the unconscious mind and is the storehouse of mental impressions or samskaras.  It is said that all the karmas, the past lives, the previous experiences, the greater dimension of human personality that is unconscious can be symbolized by Swadhisthana chakra.

John Kaldawi also learned that the one meditates on kundalini in Swadhisthana chakra is freed from his internal enemies, like: lust, anger, greed, etc.  His nectar-like words flow in prose and verse and in well-reasoned discourse.  He becomes like the sun, illuminating the darkness of ignorance.

John Kaldawi was inspired by the virtues of Compassion which is the complete flowering of true love in human beings. Love is our intrinsic quality, we are born with it, it is just a matter of being aware of it.   Awareness makes our love stronger and makes it a virtue and brings out the Compassion within us.   Doing more research, John learned that Compassion is the ability to identify and understand the emotional state of another person.   It has the element of reducing the suffering of another associated with the feeling to help.   If someone try to hurt us, instead of having negative feeling towards them, we assume instead that they had a good reason for doing what they did given their particular circumstances.
