Expression & Authenticity (Throat Chakra) Affirmations

This is a guided affirmation meditation practice focusing on the Throat Chakra, translating to Expression, Authenticity, and Communication. This practice is brought to you as part of an intention and movement called ACommitmentToLove. So as part of my commitment to love, I am choosing to share these affirmations with you. Affirmations can be powerful tools to help shift our mindset and belief systems if we let them.

The listener is introduced to the practice and then is guided through some mindful breath work. The affirmations are then introduced to the listener after grounding into the moment. The listener is then brought back to the present moment and reminded that EVERYONE has a unique and important voice.

Hi friend!

Please welcome in.

My name is Caitlin.

Please get settled wherever you are in the world.

This practice can be done wherever you are,

However you are.

Meditation is such a personal practice and can be done in so many different ways.

So,

However you choose to receive this,

Thank you for being here today.

A friend and fellow Insight Timer teacher has brought up the idea of a commitment to love.

He asked what it means to you to really embody love and practice that embodiment and bring more love into the world.

I felt called to share my affirmations.

This practice today focuses on affirmations focusing on our throat chakra,

Which is all about our expression and authenticity.

You do not need to know anything about the chakra system or even believe in any of that to participate in the following practice.

This is just how I have the affirmations grouped in my collection.

But the main themes we will be focusing on are expression,

Communication,

And authenticity.

Anyway,

Before we get started,

I would like to remind you that if something does not resonate,

Please just leave it for the next listener.

Please only take what really resonates within your own being.

I would also like to remind you that meditation is a personal practice,

So please listen to the following however you feel comfortable.

Okay,

With all that being said,

Let's breathe together for a few moments.

You can go at your own pace.

I will keep track of the time for us and bring your awareness back when we start the affirmations.

If you like,

You may now close your eyes,

Or lower your gaze,

Or just leave your eyes open and keep going about your day.

Feel free to focus on your breath if you so choose.

Just observing the inhales and the exhales,

However they come.

No need to force anything.

Just let the breath come however it chooses to flow.

In and out.

Great job,

Great job,

We have reached the end of our practice today.
