Chit Sabha | From Jealousy to Uniqueness — Awakening the Vishuddhi Chakra

Comparison has become part of everyday life. We compare our appearance, success, relationships, wealth and achievements with others—especially through social media. This can create jealousy, low self-esteem and dissatisfaction even when our own life is progressing well. Recent research continues to find associations between upward social comparison, envy and reduced well-being.

THE SPH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam teaches that “comparison is the seed, jealousy is the fruit.” THE SPH explains that the Vishuddhi chakra is locked by comparison and jealousy and flowers when we discover our uniqueness and express our own capacity and creativity without constantly measuring ourselves against others. Instead of living borrowed desires, we can turn our energy toward our own growth, celebrate others and discover the tremendous possibilities within ourselves.
