PSYCHOLOGICAL ROOTS OF CONSUMERISM
There is a reason for everything in the world, which comes from energy perspective. Often that is something we cannot perceive or even realize. Most problems of over-consuming, being addicted to substances and other weird behaviours in people, come from energy blocks, entities or deep psychological issues. There are many various reasons for over-consumption in society, but here are the main ones: it comes from feeling scarcity consciousness, fear of losing something, fear of not having enough, powerlessness, anxiety, depression and stress. These all can be very subtle or in your sub-conscious mind and you may not be able to recognise it.
Another psychiological reason for over-consumption is related to the divine program in each human for expansion and growth. Many and most souls on the planet (until this time) are programmed in disfunctional society, where they struggle to expand Spiritually; that leads to their suppressed needs of spiritual (and emotional) body and instead expanding in material world. This is called "subconscious substitution".
When you spend too much money, don’t keep track of your monthly expenses- this is sign of deep fear, anxiety, unawareness or depression. Now here are some fears trapped in different chakras that you need to understand.
In the first chakra (Root), people feel unsafe and insecure in their environment – the place they live, home, area, country. This will lead to extremes of having too much –or another extreme they want to feel safe and save all their money.
In the second chakra (Sacral) people feel insecurity in their relationships; they can feel shame, guilt, jealousy and fear of losing their partner. This can effect also in spending too much on cosmetic and beauty products (even without using them), spending more on luxury clothes. Or in another extreme – in lack of self-care. The deep reason for this imbalance is not accepting yourself (especially your body, face), not loving yourself and not taking care of yourself enough.
In the third chakra (Solar Plexus) people have feeling of disempowerment, lack of confidence, lack of motivation and fear of power. This can affect eating disorders, over-consuming special kind of foods –like sweets and sugar, and buying too much food. The quality we work on to overcome these feelings is personal power, assertiveness and self esteem. People who have need to control others constantly or have feeling of power over others, are in state of mental imbalance, as they feel insecure of their own power in life. (Because the external power over something is never "secure").
Here are simple rules to follow to be more aware:
Make list every time you go to supermarket, be intentional
Know exactly what you need to buy, before going to the mall; stop spontaneous purchases.
Make list with all cosmetic products that you no longer need to buy
Make list with all clothes and other items you no longer need.
Make list with items that you want still to buy, when necessary.
Understand and investigate the impact of the plastic and clothes on the planet.
Understand more about the slavery work of poor countries at the factories worldwide.
And finally – live with purpose and awareness. When your soul transitions to the afterlife, angels will not ask you how much money did you earn, nor how many items did you buy. But you will receive the questions – Did you enjoy your life on earth? What things made you satisfied and what made you suffer? Did you fulfil your life mission/ spiritual mission? Did you live according to your values, did you express your talents and gifts and who you are?
These are the things that matter to the eternal Soul. That’s why, when you buy anything new, consider the following:
How this item makes me feel? Do I feel joy?
Why do I like/need to buy this item now? Is it spontaneous decision?
Where this item will be fit and organised in my home?
How many other similar items do I have already?
How long time I`ll truly enjoy and how long I`ll use this item?
what is the material the thing is made of? Is it eco-friendly or it will add to environment destruction?
What will happen to this item after I stop using it, or after my body make transition to higher plane?
Is this item related to my life mission or talents of the soul?
These are also important questions to have in mind and ask yourself for anything you buy. Because the true purpose of anything created in material world is to bring you joy, love and abundance. The purpose is not to bring you clutter, over spending and anxiety.
Here are some Questions and answers with my Angels on different topics:
What is the most toxic” cosmetic that people use?
Anything that has fragrance and colour in it is very unhealthy not just for humans, but for the environment. People are currently living within clouds of toxic smells from perfumes, cosmetics and washing detergents. Some of very harmful products you use are lipstick, perfume, eyeshadow, powders, foundations.
What is the ultimate expiration date of cosmetic that we need to look for?
Angels: anything that has long expiration date (12 months or more) is packed with multiple chemical preservatives. They add to the toxic environment and can create illnesses for your skin and even for people/ children around you. The natural cosmetic (similar as food) has very short expiry date, which is about 3-4 or 5 months. Generally most cosmetics sold on the market are very toxic and create damage in your respiraory system, Thyroid, and many allergies.
What kind of products are safe for us to use and safe for the nature? Are there such products?
All natural resources made of natural organic materials are the best for you – like basic oils – coconut oil, almond oil, carrot oil, apricot kernel oil, evening primrose oil, avocado oil and all essential oils – lavender, pine, lemon, grapefruit, rosemary, cedar wood, frankincense –are good for you but to certain limit and degree. (It means you need to use them mindfully and in small proportion).
Depending on your sensitivity and allergic reactions, you may limit the use of essential oils. For your skin you can use any natural oils, plant and flower essence – Aloe Vera, herbal gels and oils. There are also some acids that can be good for you, but if used carefully with very small amount: like Glycolic acid, Hyaluronic acid, Azelaic acid. They are partly good for the skin, but it depends the proportion of the other ingredients they are mixed with.
How many clothes each person needs and is this impacting the environment?
The consumption of clothes for one person for 5 years time now on planet is enough to make significant climate change. That means the majority of people have over consumption in all kind of material staff, including clothes. This will be major issue in the Future society, when people will live in communal style and they will have strict rules and number of clothing items. For you that may sound scary now, as it is totally another extreme of your consumption. At this time you need to determine for yourself how many items you need. The most important is to be mindful and aware whenever you buy clothes, accessories or shoes. We would say that if you do not use all the items you have, then they are unnecessary for you and for future generation.
Thank you for tuning in!
