1st BODY = SOUL

KEY PHRASE:

“Heart vs. Head”

ARQUETYPE

The wise/ The holy person

KEY QUESTIONS:

How can appreciate even more the compassion and creativity that I have with myself while I’m sharing it with others?
Does this feels like my soul’s purpose?
Do I come from the heart?

Guru Nanak

He was the creative force of the Sikh Dharma. He was known because his humility a quality that appears when mastering the 1st body. You become humble when you bow your head so your heart is higher that you r head. He use to say things like this “I am the worm of the worms, the lowest of the low. I am heathen. I’ve done many ruthless things in life. I’m worse that any other person. It’s only out of your mercy that I have found your wonder”.

EXPLANATION

Intellect vs. Emotions – Heart. Overly Intellectual

Soul is the connection with your inner self. It also corresponds with apana, the elimination energy. In Yoga it said that a person should have a bowel movement after each meal. In other words if you have three meals a day you should have three bowel eliminations a day.

Apana is also related with sexual energy. When the first body is working well you feel very creative and sexy about life. If you are afraid of connecting to your inner self, your soul, you will provably have a difficult time enjoying sex.

The 1st body also corresponds with the first Chakra. The characteristics of the 1st Chakra are the felling of grounded, security, and survival.

It’s also were the Kundalini energy resides. The nuclear energy of the human being.

Soul Body never dies. When our physical body dies the subtle body encapsulates the soul body and then you move on. From the yogis point of view the soul body has an exact weight of an ounce. How something that travels through time and space can have weight? Is like energy, it can’t be destroy.

The soul body has a purpose on your existence. Meaning the impact of your actions won’t be just now but also in the future. So is god to ask ourselves how the reactions of our actions will impact ourselves and other people in the future. In 5 years, 10 years, 500 lifetimes, 1000 lifetimesï¿½.., etc.

Yogi Bhajan said that it takes 8.4 million lifetimes to become a human.

It’s the inner connection with your inner self. Is the balance between heart and head. Heart as compassion, love, affection, gratitude, forgiveness, etc, and head as the intellect, ego. We need them both in harmony. In a society that pays more attention to the intellect and the ego more than the heart’s intuition and gratitude.

There is a connection between the inner body and the physical body. When you start to notice something going on in the physical body start checking your inner body, your soul. The body is always warning you with signals. The aptitude of self denial is very typical in America. If the cholesterol is high, forget it never check it again. Lacking to take care of the self is a sign that the first body is not working as well as you think.

The soul needs attention. He travels with you beyond this life and sometimes we don’t hear him.

When the soul is balance you feel intuitive, creative, compassionate, etc. For example you won’t put yourself out of balance by putting yourself in another’s place.

FEELING

When the number 1 is in a challenge position it needs to learn to balance the male energy within themselves, and integrate with other people. They need to learn to gain a respected leadership; otherwise they can be “quick from the gate”.

The 2nd body corresponds with the second Chakra. The element is water, and it’s properties are fluidity, flexibility, and connection. In an intercourse the water in the man will be the semen, also known as ojas, and in the woman will be the lubricant. In a yogic life style you can enjoy a sexual life with your partner, but it’s also important to restrain the sexual activity, with the goal of preserve that potent energy. This energy strengthens the immune system, makes the skin shine, and makes you physically very active.

It’s not a negative thing. This is necessary to have. It protects you!

Set boundaries are a good thing. You won’t need attorneys in the future.

Every 2 wants to become 1. Urge to merge. Want to belong to something like a group, a relationship, job, etc. The idea is to merge into something so you are different because of it.
