Reiki and releasing victim mentality

Victim Mentality - A trait in which a person regards himself/herself as a victim of th negative or wrong doing by external circumstances or people.  One with the victim mentality can be yourself or your constantly with people at work/personal relationships with the attitude.
Frustration :(-- 8 of swords

Analyze/Ask  the following questions--
  • Everything bad/worst happens to me ?
  • Is there something about you/others that makes them emotionally oppressed or depressed?
  • Do you or someone around you blames luck and keeps pointing out how unfair life is towards them pretty much most of the time?
  • Do you say or even feel this often about someone- "you make me mad"/ " you make me sick"/  " You make me guilty"/" you trouble me all the time"
  • You feel abused or feel like someone is taking advantage of you 
If yes then in some ways the person has a victim mentality. This is quite deep rooted feeling wherein one feels the other is stronger than them.

Tarot associations with victim mentality- Eight of swords, five of swords, five of cups, four of cups, five of pentacles, Moon, sometimes High Priestess, 9 and 10 of swords.

Victim Mentality and Chakra blockage-

Chakra
Victim Mentality blockage association
Root
It is a fear that someone is stronger than them which makes one feel weak or in emergency state most of times. Sometimes we stay in victim mentality and cover it up with other things and keep lieing to ourselves.
This could be due to past family /childhood issues .
Hara
Others feeling “ oh she is ok with what I am doing to him/her”, lack of dynamism
Manipura
This is the seat of all abilities, this is here where someone feels as if they are a door mat and feels locked in, lack of self esteem, submissive approach to life
Heart
Leads to feeling emotionally oppressed, hurt , feeling not being given enough love from any corner of life

Here are a few things which help in releasing or reducing victim mentality-

Complete holistic happiness-10 of cups 


  • Reiki-- Healing the front and back root chakra, hara chakra , manipura and heart chakra for 21 to 41 days atleast. Be careful while completely opening your hara chakra , if not protected it leads to so uneccessary energy attachments/attack.
  • Reiki- Special healing to the front and back manipura chakra to increase personal strength & Power and not letting drain you. Use powerful manipura affirmations and cutting chords from the manipura and hara chakra.
  • Reiki- Write how would you want to feel on a piece of paper imaging yourself free from the bondages of victim mentality, write all the three reiki symbols and heal the rolled paper for 20 days.
  • Choice - Accept the power of choice that you have today-- the personal power to daily choose that you will  feel accepting of your self. You can write on a piece the two paths of being free or locked in to feeling of being put down and see what makes you feel better. Sometimes blaming others becomes a habit-- make a different choice.
  • Hand Mudras-
    Brahma Mudra ( when pushed around by others/anxiety) ,  Kali Mudra ( breaks negative thought pattern), Makara Mudra ( lack of self esteem or personal power), Sankalpa Mudra ( committment to live with intention and not be a victim of circumstance), Aum Vilom breathing exercise , Garuda Mudra (feeling stuck in life or emotions)
  • Pat Mudra and Meditation (recently read abt it, might be helpful)- Pat yourself  on the left side ( receiving side), affirmation " I accept myself", followed by relaxing meditation and self acceptance mudra or Pushan Mudra eventually being completed by relaxing and patting yourself.
