when i feel useful in life, i have good self-esteem.

when i feel useless, i feel worthless.

i have terrible mood swings i have suffered from for many years. sometimes i feel on top of the world, at peace and at one.
other times i feel as though everything is crashing down. i feel completely alone and disconnected.

could there be an imbalance in my chakras?

i do think maybe there is too much base chakra energy.

do i need to visualize this energy rising up through meditation?

i wonder whether this would help my mood-swings.
i have also wondered whether i had a premature kundalini awakening after reading something about it. i have always phased out a lot into my own thoughts and own world. sometimes when i am singing i get this tingling feeling at the top of my head..........

i don't know- i am asking a lot of questions here really. does anyone think any of these things are related?

would i benefit from some mainstream medication to help balance things out? i don't generally trust the pharmaceutical industry, but maybe there is just good and bad in everything; maybe it could help.

any thoughts?

i don't know if this will be relevant for you, but it has helped me, and i too am prone to mood swings. ra said that we need to be careful to balance the lower centers before we try to activate the higher ones. when i feel myself crashing to earth i try to remember to do a chakra meditation, where i start with red, spending a good long time there, and then slowly, step by step move up to orange, yellow, green, etc. for each chakra i try to visualize the colo(u)r associated with it and also to bring to mind the principles associated with it.

it can also be done quickly if you're not in a situation where you can take a long time for a meditation.

hello ameliejolie,

i have had some issues with mood swings as well. i think this is probably a common obstacle among highly empathic and sensitive people. i can share a little of my own experience with you. i find that when i am stressed out and becoming overwhelmed i start to eat poorly and don't get good quality or enough rest which in effect makes me cranky and irritable and the negative side of me starts to come out. i am prone to becoming kind of frantic with a lot of frenetic nervous energy and i start to get run-down and tired, so, i start to drink a lot of caffeine which gets me through the next few hours but really makes the mood swings worse. i have found that the best thing, for me, is a good water fast or a juice cleanse or a raw vegetable cleanse depending on your level of experience with these things. this really calms me down and i start to feel alive, energetic, clear-headed and have a sense of happiness and well-being. of course, lots of meditation throughout this is fantastic. after the cleanse i try to keep up the healthy diet by eating as many raw fruits and veggies as possible which helps me to cope with the general anxiety of our existence with more stability and positivity.

the bottom line is that your diet can play a big role in mood swings, especially for people who are coping with a lot of stress and self medicating with caffeine, sugar and white flour is also quite bad for you. hope that helps, it was several months of adjustment before i cut out the bad and got used to eating mostly raw fruits and veggies.

curious forum. energy levels are everything. i go out of my way to eat right. i go to bed early. i this and that. but i still get zapped. it's apparently unavoidable.
today, it's like a war, imo. we are bombarded by everything from chemtrails to scalar intrusions. i think half the negative vibes are from others.
this thing about self worth and performance is the curse of mankind...

i agree with you in that energy is everything. my experience with water fasting and cleansing is that it creates a sense of clarity or transparency which allows energy to flow freely through and around you. whereas when the body is murky and cloudy the energy meets resistance and creates friction. when the blood is clean and clear the energy can flow naturally and you become one with your world.

on another note, a big problem in north america is a condition called "candidiasis" or also known as a yeast infection. your body is born with an abundance of friendly bacteria such as lactus bacillus which fights and kills off bad bacteria which enter your body from outside sources. through heavy consumption of acid forming foods such as processed foods, bleached white flour or a prolonged use of antibiotics or steroids will kill off this good bacteria which will allow the bad yeast bacteria to multiply and overcome the body. the symptoms of this condition include things like depression, grogginess, never feeling refreshed after sleep and numerous others.

here is more info i found quickly on a whim but there is a lot of info out there:

you're preaching to the choir on this end. and don't forget parasites. i really do wonder if those black walnut etc. extracts do anything.

i take extra virgin coconut oil for candida maint. i hardly ever eat grains and junk sugar anymore. no processed milk....
my body is thanking me i guess. but as mentioned, i get these days where my energy is very low - for no apparent reason.

btw for anyone curious; i've taken up the pendulum, so to speak. after some practice i picked the the pre-selected card, out of ten, on the first try. so there is certainly something to this. finally!
but i have found (as similar to above) there are days where the signals are more erratic....

amelie--i've been journeying through mood swings as well--as others have stated here, it seems to come with the territory of being psychic empaths (feeling and thinking thoughts of others, and experiencing them as our own). there is a massive amount of suggestions flowing through mass consciousness--any one can manifest as our truth/experience by our focusing on it.

one simple shift (simple in stating but takes practice) that's helped me is to think of this life as a human as an experiment being conducted by my spiritual/higher/the-one-with-the-broadest-viewpoint self using all that i am.

a scientist (observer) will propose a way of looking at something (a suggestion of possible truth), conduct his experiment and then allow, acknowledge and note all the results--and they are going to be objective (physical) and subjective (mental and emotional).

a scientist doesn't look at his experiment as right or wrong--he's just putting things together in a certain combination and noting what happens. if he decides he wants something a bit different or a lot different in his results, he will change slightly or a great deal his choices or components of his experiment--and then note those results.

with this idea then, when thoughts and feelings (suggestions of what is truth) start bombarding me i give myself the safe space (and this can be anywhere, doing anything--often i'm painting or taking a walk, having a cappuccino, talking to myself in the mirror--whatever strikes me in the moment to nurture myself) to allow them all to flow through my mind without trying stop what i deem to be bad or dark or wrong.

i'm just flowing the energies through and out without focusing on them.

when i try to stop from thinking a bad or negative way, i actually stop the energy flow, hold that concept, and actually end up manifesting it due to trying not to focus on it. the battle within becomes manifested without.

the universe/cosmos loves me so much it manifests out of love for me, everything thing i focus on--and try not to focus on.

and intention is everything--i know that i intend no harm to anyone or anything. that is why i give myself a safe space and that is why i can allow even the darkest thoughts to flow through without actually manifesting them and doing any harm.

anyway--hope this helps. it's been helping me to stay centered and at peace--and to love and appreciate (see their gift in being to me) all where each is at.

bless you for your timely post--there is a lot of this...

much love,
penny
