Throat Chakra Meditation

Hello,

Liz Doyle here and today I'm sharing a meditation to help balance the throat chakra,

Our fifth chakra.

This chakra gives a voice to your personal truths.

So where does your voice come from?

What provides the energy for you to speak?

And of course on a physical level the answer is the throat,

But on an energetic level the energy actually comes from your fifth chakra.

It lets you speak your truth with clarity.

The throat chakra's center is right in between your collarbone,

But it spreads out towards your heart center and up to the eyes.

A blocked throat chakra manifests itself through an inability to speak or if you have trouble expressing your thoughts or conveying your feelings.

Also if you're weighed down by a secret,

Your throat chakra can become blocked.

When your throat chakra is balanced,

You will be able to clearly speak with love and with kindness and with truth.

In fact,

You will know exactly which words are appropriate for each situation and speaking with a balanced throat chakra will enlighten and inspire those around you.

So if you're ready,

Let's make yourself comfortable.

Lying down,

You can allow your whole body to relax.

If you're sitting,

Then relax your hands on your lap or at your side.

Remember no driving or using any machinery during the meditation.

Be in a position that's comfortable for you and when you're ready,

Just gently close your eyes.

This is your time,

So leave all your worries outside if you can.

Give yourself permission to relax into the flow of this moment.

There is only right here,

Right now.

The future and the past do not exist right now.

Notice any sounds outside of the room.

Acknowledge them and let them go.

Notice any sounds inside of the room.

Acknowledge them and let them go.

Let your feet and legs soften.

Drop your shoulders.

Relax your hands.

Allow your body to soften down and relax into a natural position.

Now let your head and your face relax.

Your ears,

Your jaw and chin,

Your cheeks,

Your nose,

Your eyes,

Your eyebrows,

Your forehead.

They are all soft and relaxed.

Take a cleansing breath in and audibly breathe out the tension in your body.

Allow your breathing to fall into its own natural rhythm,

Not trying to control it in any way.

Just observing as you breathe in,

Relaxation,

And breathe out any tension.

Watching the natural rhythm of the breath.

If your mind wanders,

And it will,

Allow your thoughts to flow on past and gently return your attention to your breathing.

Breathing in relaxation,

Breathing out tension.

Now bring your attention to your throat chakra,

The area at the center of your throat.

Once you can sense this space around your neck,

Tune into its frequency and bless the throat chakra for the greatest good,

With the intention of loving it into life.

Now imagine a very small sky blue light there,

Swirling around like a little whirlpool.

Try to notice how it feels,

How it looks.

Be aware of any tingling in this area.

And the blue glow starts to gently spread out,

And as it spins,

It becomes larger and larger.

Breathing in and breathing out,

And with every in-breath,

You pull in more fresh blue light,

Allowing it to fill your throat chakra and your whole neck area.

With each breath,

Grow this blue light,

Expand it to the mouth,

Then the ears,

Then your entire head,

Spreading out throughout your whole body.

Breathing in blue light down into your chest,

Your arms,

And hands,

Down into your pelvis,

All the way through your legs and your feet.

Breathing in blue light up into your head,

Letting it fill your entire body,

Connecting with all the other chakras.

As you breathe in this blue light,

It brings you truth,

Clear expression,

Good listening.

As you breathe out,

The blue light removes all blockages.

Feel this vibrant blue glow as it gently spins,

Breathing in blue light,

Breathing out tension.

Repeat after me silently.

I am clear,

I am truthful,

I am expressive.

Breathe in the blue light,

Breathe out all tension.

Now,

Imagine the light and the positive energetic guidance pouring into you,

Into your mind,

And your hearing,

Enlightening every cell of your being.

Take another breath,

And continue to expand this light until it is all around you,

And you are in a bubble of blue,

Pure light.

Feel yourself in this blue light that is all around you,

And gently bring your focus back to the blue light within your throat.

Coat the throat with this blissful light,

Both inside and out.

Illuminate the voice box,

The thyroid,

And all around the neck.

Send this light to the mouth to coat your teeth,

Your tongue,

And lips.

This light expands to your ears,

Awakening your ability to listen with love.

This light heals all these areas as it moves over them.

Blue filaments of light glide over and all around the throat,

Strengthening the voice,

Your voice,

And all the areas in the throat chakra.

Absorb this light and awaken so that you can speak your truth.

You have a voice,

You are understood,

You are a good listener.

Imagine any tension still residing,

And anything that no longer serves you,

Old stories,

Old patterns,

Old beliefs.

Bring your awareness of all this pent-up energy and allow it to flow out of your body,

Leaving only the truth of who you really are.

Speaking up,

Listening with love,

Being heard,

Being understood.

Now slowly bring your attention back to your throat chakra.

Imagine the swirling blue light becoming smaller and smaller,

Bringing it down to the size of a blue fairy light.

Now repeat your process.

Now repeat to yourself silently,

My throat chakra is working at normal function.

And then bring your awareness back to the flow of your breathing,

The in and out,

In and out.

Notice the cool breath as it comes in through your nose and down the back of your throat and into your lungs.

Notice the natural movement of your tummy as you breathe in and out.

Just be aware of your whole body again.

Bring your attention to your toes,

Give them a little wriggle.

Bring your attention to your fingers,

Give them a little wriggle.

Give your shoulders a gentle shrug and let yourself be aware of this time and space and the room around you,

Of all the sounds close to you,

Of all the sounds close by.

And when you feel ready,

You can gently open your eyes.

And I'll leave you today with an affirmation that you can repeat whenever it suits you.

I am free to express myself with love,

Truth and gratitude.

Sending you much love.
