Welcome to the fifth of your seven chakra meditations in rewiring your nervous system.
Your throat chakra is located at the base of your neck,
At the area of your throat where the collarbones meet.
And in the back of the body,
It doesn't exactly oppose the area in the front of the throat,
But is located in the indentation marked when you take the head back into your neck.
Please begin by finding a comfortable seat,
Aligning your head directly over the spine and the shoulders directly over your hips,
Lengthening through the spine,
Lifting the chest and gently opening and exposing the area of your throat,
Focusing in on the center of your throat,
Allowing the breath to gently brush in and out of the throat and receiving and integrating the information associated with the throat chakra.
Your throat is your center of purity.
It is associated with the color blue and the element of ether.
It is associated with the systems within the body responsible for purification.
Your throat governs your lymphatic system.
It governs the thyroid and the parathyroid,
Your pituitary gland,
Your ears,
Nose,
Jaw,
Neck or cervical spine,
Mouth,
Tongue and your shoulders.
When this chakra is out of alignment,
You may experience anxiety,
Shyness.
You may feel like you've lost faith,
Feel shamed or toxic.
You may feel desperate,
Suppressed,
Inhibited or paralyzed.
Your throat chakra is all about truth,
Purity and truth and it concerns itself with discovering your own purity and truth and expressing that.
It is about owning your individuality.
It governs the faculties of speaking and sharing of your truth and it relies entirely on inspiration.
It governs your ability to listen,
To communicate and it is associated with your personal integrity and personal honor.
And I'd like you to sit with this contemplation and the information that you're receiving around the throat chakra,
Allowing the breath to gently brush in and out of your throat.
If you're not speaking,
Thinking and living in alignment with your personal truth,
This chakra goes out of alignment and closes.
Also,
Not being seen,
Heard or acknowledged by others makes the chakra go out of alignment.
Not being listened to,
Not being accepted,
Also gossiping and complaining.
Negative thinking is an antagonist to the throat chakra as is being dishonest with yourself.
And to bring this chakra into alignment,
You need to ask yourself what's preventing it from being open,
What's preventing it from expressing itself truly.
Get clear on what's preventing you from being in alignment with your truth and your personal integrity.
What does your truth look like?
Connecting to this area at your throat,
See if you can contemplate this for another moment.
Other practices that help heal the throat chakra are breath practices,
Speaking practices that are action-associated,
Meaning learning to speak in the first place or learning to speak in a way that is aligned with your truth,
Consciously communicating.
Journaling can unblock the throat chakra,
As does positive expression in opposition to negative thinking.
Social groups that hear you,
See you and understand you help heal the throat chakra.
And silence may in fact open and align the throat,
If this is something that calls to you frequently,
In order to gain clarity and purity in connecting to your personal truth,
Fasting and cleansing purifies the throat chakra,
And integrating all the different parts and aspects of you brings this chakra into alignment.
If you can communicate with yourself in the way that acknowledges and accepts all parts of you,
All aspects of you and bring them into agreement,
This will help and align the throat chakra.
And align this to settle in for another moment,
Connecting to the area at your throat,
Allowing the breath to brush in and out of your throat,
And when you are ready,
Taking a gentle moment to close your practice,
And then moving out into the rest of your day,
Connected to your personal honor,
Your personal truth,
And expressing that.
Have a good day.
Namaste.
