Neediness, Longing and the Work of the Chakras — YouTube from the CEC Library

While walking down the street, I thought about longing—an interesting subject. Longing is neediness for some kind of energy, has different levels, and is connected to our emotions. I am exploring human behavior and spirituality. Perhaps at some point I lost the fear of thinking about this, and I decided to see what is in front of me while studying fear, anger, and spirituality.

Demystifying myself, rather than what was said, was essential. I moved away from things I believed but could not prove: unverifiable absolute truths and beliefs. Fear is always used by those in power to control people, and human beings are still at this level. Longing exists at every level within us. By analyzing the emotional chakras, we can discover forms of neediness and absences that generate longing.

The base chakra contains daydreams, fears, births, and deaths, as well as difficulties and pathologies. The spleen chakra is compulsive, desiring things without reflection, fueled by society and the media. The navel chakra deals with relationships, competition, and conflicts. In these three chakras we find forms of neediness that we needed to learn better. Forms of neediness linked to passions and physical needs are in the base chakra. When we miss something, this can become a fixation that is difficult to overcome. Understanding these issues is crucial to avoiding a clouded life.

The loss of someone, whether through death or separation, generates longing—an absence of that person's energies. This can involve good or bad energies, because everything is emotion. An affectionate person or someone who treats us badly occupies an emotional space. When that person moves away, we feel longing because of the absence. Absence awakens a need for what we had, and changing without suffering is difficult because we have not learned how to do so.

Our life should be about building and caring, but we often destroy our history in the name of progress. In the end, we are a story. Each life is a story that can be good or bad, individually or collectively. Doing something individually can be as laborious as doing it in a group because of our human limitations. We feel longing for things that are sometimes romantic, but true absence is more complicated because it hurts.
