Welcome to a brief meditation focusing on the throat chakra or our Vishuddha chakra.
Take a moment to get comfortable and allow yourself to find a meditation posture.
It will allow you to remain still to the best of your ability for about five minutes or so.
Begin to connect to your breath just as it is today allowing the belly to move naturally as the air flows in and out.
And when you're ready you can slowly begin to close your eyes and bring your awareness to the throat.
As your consciousness begins to accumulate here,
Envision a bright blue enveloping your body and filling up your being.
From our throat chakra we learn to express ourselves.
This is the place from which we acknowledge and learn to express our truth.
It is the gateway to our upper realms of consciousness.
When we work with this energy center we are reminded to speak our truth and to continue to share what's on our mind and our closest relationships.
We remember how essential it is to listen as well as to speak in truth.
As your being continues to be enveloped in this bright blue,
You can ask yourself where in your life can you bring in more truth?
Where in your life can you express yourself more truthfully,
More authentically?
Notice how you feel in this energy center today.
Perhaps it's overactive and you find yourself speaking without thinking,
Speaking on autopilot.
Or perhaps the opposite is true and you're finding it difficult to get out your words and to say what you mean.
Just notice where you might be at without judgment.
Simply using this energetic center to connect to your truth.
And a tool through which to understand the ways that you express yourself,
The ways that you express your authenticity.
As you continue to let your awareness focus on the throat area enveloped in your mind's eye by this beautiful bright blue color,
You can begin to repeat internally this ancient seed sound or bija mantra ham.
With every inhalation you can hear ham.
And with every exhalation you can hear ham.
And allow this japa,
Allow this repetition to activate,
Vibrate this chakra awake so that you may feel inspired to speak and express your truth.
Taking a few more final long breaths and if you'd like you can bring one or both hands physically to the area of the throat to connect with this energetic center in this way.
Letting yourself feel inspired and excited to express yourself authentically in the world.
And when you're ready you can slowly and gently begin to blink the eyes open.
