Hello,
This is Christiane Machado and I'm so elated to be here to guide you into a meditation for the chakra of your voice,
The Vashuda Chakra.
It is located in front of your throat and it is where you harness your capability and your ability to communicate when that space feels less than optimal.
We might have difficulties communicating with others,
With our own selves and with our hearts.
So I invite you to connect with a comfortable position for you.
Maybe you're sitting down on the floor with a pillow underneath your sits bones.
Maybe you'd rather be seated on a chair with your feet grounded on the floor.
And maybe you want to be lying down,
Completely relaxed.
Our positions are wonderful,
Choose yours.
Once you find that position,
I invite you to close your eyes.
And if closing your eyes doesn't feel natural or comfortable,
Don't worry about it.
Try to find the focal point for you to connect with.
And you're going to take three deep breaths through your nose and release through your mouth.
Two more like that and we're going to start.
Before the beginning,
All was darkness and all was void.
The face of the cosmos was deep and unmanifest.
Indeed,
Not a face at all,
But endless nothing.
No light,
No sound,
No movement,
No life,
No time.
And what's male in the universe was not yet created,
Not even conceived.
For there was no form in which to conceive or be conceived.
In its emptiness,
The darkness fell upon itself and became aware that it was nothing.
Dawn and dark,
Unborn,
Unmanifested,
Silent.
Can you imagine this silence?
The silence of nothing?
Could you quiet yourself enough to hear it?
Can you listen to the silence within you?
Breathe deeply and slowly so the breath is silent in your lungs.
Feel your throat expand with the air coming in.
Listen for the nothing.
Listen for the quiet.
Listen deep within yourself for the place of stillness.
Slowly breathe into this void,
A deep and peaceful breath.
In its infinite quiet,
Darkness fell upon you and itself.
And in its emptiness,
Knew itself to be alone.
And alone,
It desired another.
In this desire,
A ripple moved across the void to fold and fold again upon itself until it was no longer empty and the void was full with birth.
In the beginning,
The great unmanifested became vibration and its own recognition of being.
And that vibration was a sound from which all other sounds were born.
It came from Brahma in his omanation.
It came from Saravati in her eternal answers.
In their union,
The sound arose and spread through all the void and filled it.
And the sound became one.
And the sound became many.
And the sound became the wheel that turned and turned the world unto the dance of life,
Forever singing,
Always moving.
When you listen,
You can hear it now.
It is in your breath.
It is in your heart.
It is in the wind,
The waters,
The trees.
It is in your own mind,
In the rhythm of each and every thought.
From one sound does it all emerge and to one sound shall it return.
And the sound is.
Chant it now inside of you quietly.
Let it build within your breath.
Let the sacred sound escape you,
Moving on the wings of air.
Rhythm building,
Deep vibration,
Rising up from deep within.
Chant the sound of all creation,
Sound that makes the chakras spin.
Louder now,
The voice arises,
Joins with other sounds and chants.
Deeper now,
The rhythms weaving all into a sacred dance.
Rhythms pounding,
Voices growing,
Echoing the dance of life.
Sounds to words and words to music,
Riding on the wheels of life,
Guiding us along our journey,
Moving spirit deep within.
Chant the voice that is within you.
This is where it must begin.
This is where we must begin.
Up from silence,
Breath and body,
Calling now into the void.
Hear its answer in the darkness.
Fear and pain have been destroyed.
Brahma is the first vibration.
Sarasvati is the flow.
Sound unites us in our vision,
Harmonizing all we know.
Soon the silence comes again with echoes of primordial sound,
Purifying all vibration of the truth.
Sound,
Rhythm,
Vibration,
Words,
Powerful rulers of our lives.
We take these things for granted,
Using them,
Responding to them,
Creating them anew each day.
We are the subjects of rhythm upon rhythm,
Endlessly interweaving the fabric of experience.
From the first cries of a newborn child to the harmonies of a symphony,
We are immersed in an infinite web of communication.
With that deep inner communication with yourself,
You're going to take three deep breaths.
Our practice is complete for now.
With a deep sense of knowing that you can always come back into your throat space,
Into your Vashuddha chakra space.
Whenever you feel a need to communicate a little braver,
A little freer and more authentic Whenever hard conversations need to be had in order to experience clarity.
Thank you very much for choosing to take some time for you and your voice today.
It is a pleasure to be here and guide you.
Have a wonderful day,
Evening.
