e an energy block or could that pooled energy be utilized to activate and awaken a<br />

chakra?<br />

Swami Vivekananda: It can be used to activate if the psychological blockages are<br />

eliminated.<br />

Swami Shankardevananda: I think there is a difference between storage and<br />

blockage. The ability to hold or store energy takes place consciously, whilst having an<br />

unconscious or subconscious blockage leads to repression.<br />

Swami Vivekananda: And repression of a highly energized chakra can produce all<br />

sorts of physical symptoms, such as muscle tension, malfunctioning of internal organs,<br />

etc., as well as emotional problems.<br />

Swami Shankardevananda: What are the psychological effects of mooladhara<br />

awakening?<br />

Swami Vivekananda: As I have already said, renunciation.<br />

Swami Shankardevananda: The feeling of separation, the beginning of your<br />

individual awareness; awakening to the fact that you are separate from something else.<br />

Swami Nischalananda: Primal alienation or something like that.<br />

Swami Shankardevananda: Do you think that the basic energy at mooladhara is<br />

anxiety, fear, or is it insecurity?<br />

Swami Vivekananda: The basic emotion? Well, it depends on the energization of the<br />

circuit. If there is not much energy it will tend to be depression and hopelessness. But if<br />

there is a lot of energy it will then depend upon the evolution of the chakra. If it is little<br />

evolved, then there will be intense insecurity, which is anxiety. If it is highly evolved<br />

there will be a sense of oneness and complete security. Generally rnooladhara is blocked<br />

to some extent in most people and blockages may manifest as muscle tension.<br />

Muscle tensions are manifestations of the circuits of mental blockages, samskaras. It<br />

is the samskaras that keep down the evolution of the quality of consciousness that is<br />

within these chakra circuits. I think that low evolution, muscle spasms and the<br />

maladjustments of the organisms that are supplied <strong>by</strong> that part of the autonomic nervous<br />

system are due to psychic tensions.<br />

Swami Shankardevananda: These psychic and personality tensions are due to various<br />

events in the environment.<br />

Swami Vivekananda: That is right. The inner unconscious conflicts coming into<br />

conflict with events in the environment. For example, if a man feels very insecure and<br />

someone steals a valuable possession from him, he may go into an absolute frenzy. This
