How does someone with yellow ray clarity relate to themselves and others? What are the essential points? This is really my central question.
From my point of view, the blockage stems from low self esteem. It is the result of putting others up on a pedestal. If you put others on a pedestal, you simultaneously put yourself on a lower one. So there is constantly a dread of judgment by those you hold in high esteem because your attention is inordinately occupied by what others are thinking about you. Yellow ray being blocked, your thoughts are deflected back into orange ray vibratory expression.
The solution to balancing imbalanced self worth, is to OVERLY inflate your sense of self worth. To someone struggling with self esteem issues, they might even want to go overboard with it, meaning to build yourself mentally up even more than you see the others around you. Why? Because in a person with low self esteem they already have psychological forces that are going to bring themselves down slightly, so by seeing yourself as even greater it will, in reality, actually result in an equalizing effect with those around you.
Unfortunately, there is no real shortcut to doing this, you just have to gradually build up your self concept to the point where you think you are the bees knees. It helps to make lists of things you are good at. Recognize your talents. Imagine yourself in situations that brought you uneasiness and then reimagine them going how you want them to go, acting assertive and confident. Concentrate on the molding the images to match the feeling you want to feel in those situations and try to feel the essence of that. You have to learn to carry that feeling with you until you don't have to think about it anymore and it becomes a subconscious habit. It may even seem like nothing is happening at first, but if you do it repeatedly for a few minutes a day for a couple weeks it will improve mightily.
