Welcome in this Yoga Nidra for Throat Chakra.
Today I will be connecting to the space of your throat and healing any blockages that you might be experiencing,
Mostly with communication and expressing yourself.
We'll be relaxing the whole body,
Creating new healthy thoughts and opening yourself up to a pure expression of unconditional love.
Relax your whole body Now make yourself comfortable for this practice laying down on your back,
Relaxing your whole body,
Adjusting any pillows,
Any blankets and making yourself ready for a deep rest.
The Vishuddha or Throat Chakra is the fifth chakra of the seven main chakras in your body and it acts as a space of communication.
It's where you find your voice,
Speak your truth,
Appreciate yourself and others,
Speak up and express yourself just how you want it.
But it's also about the ability to hear and listen and be heard.
So through this chakra,
Through unblocking this space we connect to clarity,
To truth,
Responsibility for our words.
It affects your ability to be honest and express your thoughts and when it's blocked you might feel difficulty in communicating,
In speaking what you really think,
In clear expression in relationships,
When you often feel pain of your neck and shoulders,
When your jaw is very tense and you clench your teeth.
This chakra might be blocked but through awareness,
Through love and openness to peace and truth you can unblock all these energies and enjoy your life with more freedom.
So let's start by setting an intention for this practice,
Our sankalpa.
Simply repeat it three times,
Quietly or out loud.
I express myself clearly and openly with love and confidence.
I express myself clearly and openly with love and confidence.
Let these words just sink into the space as you start relaxing your whole body more and more.

Now,
Let's come back to the breath again and come back to your throat chakra.
In the centre of your throat,
Imagine a lotus with 16 petals,
A beautiful blue flower shining with a healing light.
Feel this energy in your throat and for the next breaths,
You're going to imagine breathing in through the space of the throat,
Breathing out through the space of the throat,
Let this inner blue light expand.
You're going to count your breaths now,
Inhale on 1,
Exhale on 1,
Inhale 2 and exhale 2.
Keep going like this till you reach 11,
Only focusing on your breath.
Alright,
Now let go of this count right now,
Totally relaxing,
Melting down deeper and deeper to the space of deep rest and healing.
And as your throat space is activated now through your awareness,
We're going to connect to a few affirmations that will strengthen your inner will of expressing yourself with truth,
With openness,
That will clear any inner throat blockages.
Repeat these affirmations just quietly in your mind,
My voice matters,
My words are powerful,
I effectively and openly speak my truth,
I live an honest,
Authentic life,
I speak with clarity and confidence,
I speak with courage and compassion,
I embrace silence and know deep inner peace,
I remain true to myself in all that I say and do,
It is safe for me to show my true self to the world,
I speak from a place of love and understanding,
I am patient with myself and others,
My ideas and my presence matter,
I am honest and clear,
I radiate calm,
Peace and light,
I release the need to be perfect and embrace my beautifully imperfect self,
I am not afraid to be vulnerable,
I am confident and open and believe in myself,
My throat chakra is coming back to balance,
I am pure unconditional love,
Stay in the space of pure clarity,
Openness and love for a little while,
Resting deeper and deeper in the space of awareness and I invite you now to just keep relaxing here,
Keep breathing,
Keep relaxing as you are sinking deeper and deeper to a peaceful rest,
Maybe to a peaceful sleep,
Always remembering that your ideas,
Your words really matter,
That you are important in this world,
That you are so unique and special,
Let this energy of light,
Courage and creativity and inspiration to express yourself just as you want it,
Let this energy flow through you freely as you are totally opening up to your inner power,
To gratitude,
To be exactly where you are here and now.
Thank you so much for connecting in this practice,
Wishing you a peaceful rest of your day and lots of strength and courage to be yourself,
To speak your truth and to enjoy the life that you are creating.
Namaste.
