Creative Expression

Creative Expression - A Solution to the problem of Assaults on women

In a country like India where women are worshipped as Godesses, how is it that the assaults on women have increased so much recently? Understanding this requires a spiritual outlook. If someone is a true meditator, it is virtually impossible to commit such crimes. A true meditator can fathom clearly the movement of energy across various chakras and can very well understand the opposite values attached to each chakras with the upward and downward movement of the energy. The prime reason of such crimes is the fact that the energy is stuck around the first and the second chakras. The downward movement of energy in the second chakra is responsible for the Procreation and in the first chakra results in Inertia/Dullness. Whereas the upward movement of the same energy in the first chakra manifests as Interest and in the second chakra as Creativity. Clearly we can see the phenomenon in our country where more youths are turning away from any form of creative expression and are becoming duller. Children are stuck in front of TV or glued to ipod or busy with mobile phones. Where is the creative expression here? Even when children play, I see children are using everything ready-made. 30-40 years back, not much were available in the form of moulded plastic. Children had to make them up with available materials like sticks, papers, cardboard, etc. I even remember creating a mini-hut along with my friends as a game to simulate a village home and took the help of my mother to set the ground up using water mixed with cow-dung. Some people may not be even aware of how in a village the whole ground in front of houses is set using this method. The mini-hut was entirely made with sticks that were around my home tied together using Jute based threads/ropes. But these days, anything that the children look for is already available in a ready-made fashion. There is not much scope for the creativity to blossom. The right brain is becoming more and more useless. Also another phenomenon is that both at schools and at home so much of emphasis is on using the Logic - Science, Maths, etc. which also compounds to the above problem and children end up using mostly their left brain alone.

Creative expression alone can get the energy move upwards in the second chakra, thereby leaving no scope for any kind of assaults on women. As an addition to that if children start learning Meditation, they can clearly understand what is happening within them and that also helps a person remain centered. I consider the children who commit crimes are helpless at that point of time. They are themselves victims. I am not in any way justifying their actions. But punishing them is in no way a solution to the problem. The only solution is to catch them young, teach Meditation and create avenues for their creative expressions to blossom.
