Interesting Space. Good to hear I'm not the only one going crazy:
Also, some imbalances I noted with certain effects:
-Feet: If I'm just floating with no real plan as to what I'm going to do in life, sometimes the soles of my feet have a sore pain for no reason. Background: I was for a month after I quit my job because I wanted to change careers but I didn't really think about what new job I wanted, I just was enjoying my time off just hanging out with friends, meditating, gaming, eating out, etc, but really in the back of my mind I was worried as what I was going to do with my life. I think this had to do with a lack of grounding in what I was going to do in my life.
-Root: When I've been really depressed, sometimes this area gets sensitized to pain. Also, low sex drive during depression.
-Sacral: When I felt guilty about "hookups". When I felt guilty or felt that being attracted to a girl who was not single was "wrong." When I felt that somehow red ray only sex, or orange ray only sex, or yellow ray only sex, was "vulgar." (Don't get me wrong, the higher up you go the better- gourmet pizza is awesome, but sometimes a pizza inn deep dish can hit the spot too
)
-Yellow Area in General: First a quote:
This technique has not seemed to help me. I don't think it's bad advice. I think rather, it is a necessary rather than sufficient belief to open the yellow. Or maybe I was mistaken. But I've always found it easy to love everyone; my perception of lack of power in life has revolved around two things: (1) external events and (2) eastern concepts of duty to family. The above mentioned technique did not help with (1), and at least as I understood it, has not helped me balance the fact that I need to respect my own desires as opposed to always doing what my family wants.
So while I don't think the quotation is incorrect, for me, the key to balancing this center were other concepts, perhaps because I already applied the concept Ra talks about but lacked other yellow subtleties.
-Yellow area imbalances: When I believed acceptance was of the future ("oh, I need to accept such and such won't change in the future"), it completely shut down this area. Once I started to practice acceptance was of the present ("I accept the present as a catalyst, and I believe that some day I can manifest a change in this when I have sufficiently learned from this catalyst"), this helped me believe that I had power over my future. Also, when I used to act based on "Shoulds" rather than what I truly wanted to do.
-Green ray: The only, obvious one, is thinking love is stupid, or love is earned/deserved.
-Blue Ray, specifically, Adam's apple area: This area shuts down when I thought that I should keep quiet and suppress my opinions and desires in order to increase harmony. This might have been ok for my heart, but it destroyed my blue and yellow.

Discovering and trying out beliefs, and life philosophies has been with me since I was born. It's how I found my spirituality - I decided one day to try out a philosophy that everything was good with great honesty, and then the Law of One fell into my lap.
Trying out, fully, new belief systems remains my primary method of spiritual evolution, and so I find this area immensely fascinating.

Quote:102.11 Questioner: Now, is there— the two areas then that the instrument can look to for curing this problem… I understand that the yellow-ray blockage problem has completely repaired, shall I say. If this is not correct, could you make suggestions on that, please?
Ra: I am Ra. Each entity must, in order to completely unblock yellow ray, love all which are in relationship to it, with hope only of the other-selves’ joy, peace, and comfort.
