Hello there,
Welcome.
My name is Stacey and I am taking you on a journey through the chakras,
These powerful energy centers in our body that really give us an insight as to some possibilities that could be going on both in our physical body as well as some of the choices,
Behaviors,
Patterns that we have in our life.
We've already traveled through the bottom three,
We took a pause at the fourth where we took a breath and recognized love.
We're moving up today,
We're going to move up into the throat chakra.
This one is located in the throat around the neck.
And the color of this one is blue.
This one has a lot to do with sound.
So we love to use sound and singing and humming and spoken word to activate this energy center.
Now when this energy center is off,
When we talk about off,
Whether it's overactive or underactive,
It's just simply off.
So when this one is off,
We might have a tendency to grind our teeth and to have chronic achiness in our neck and in our throat,
And we have a little scratch,
Maybe some congestion.
And then we feel like,
I just can't say that.
I better not rock the boat.
I might just withhold my truth,
I might just swallow it.
We've heard this in our life.
And we've probably all experienced where we withhold speaking because we don't want to upset somebody.
And chronically doing this can lead to just a pattern of being that's really unhealthy.
This energy center has everything to do with communication,
Both listening as well as speaking.
Now on the other side of that coin,
When this one is a little bit overactive,
We might talk,
Talk,
Talk,
Talk,
Talk,
And never listen.
We might interject,
Interrupt loud voices,
We might seek so much to be heard that we end up having sharp words,
Volatile words,
Upsetting words,
And we have a tendency to feel as though what we have to say is more important than what the other person has to say.
We also have a tendency to exaggerate and to not really hold the truth of the word.
To balance this one,
We bring in the color blue,
Like a beautiful sky blue,
Like a rich,
I don't want to say light blue,
But just a vibrant blue,
A sky blue that's vibrant and alive.
We sing,
We hum,
We chant.
Those are things that activate this energy center.
It's tuned to the sound of G.
So using a crystal singing bowl tuned to G can be a great vibrational frequency for this one.
I love to use sodalite gemstone.
I find that sodalite in this beautiful blue shade is a wonderful stone to bring into my life when I need a little support for this fifth chakra.
I also love to use essential oils that are going to support this energy center because it's located in the throat area,
We have some choices as to what's going to support this energy center.
And I really like to use spearmint,
Which is often referred to as the oil of communication and the oil of speaking appropriately,
Truthfully,
Eloquently.
I love to use spearmint in this way.
I also like cassia and cassia is a friend of cinnamon.
It's a little earthier,
A little richer,
A little denser,
Less sweet.
But cassia is the oil for self assurance.
And so when we have to speak to somebody and we have to hold our truth and speak our truth,
We have a conversation coming that maybe we're really not looking forward to swiping cassia with a carrier oil and some spearmint on your throat area can really help to activate that energy center.
I also love lavender.
And I love eucalyptus because eucalyptus helps us to have that opening that airway that is open,
But expressing ourselves is a beautiful compliment when we use eucalyptus.
Tuck your chin into your chest and just compress this energy center slightly.
You might even find tucking your chin deep into that little hole that crevice in your neck.
Tighten it up a little bit.
And just stay here for a moment.
This is working that energy center just to compress it a little bit.
And now with your next breath in,
Lift your chin slowly up to the sky opening the throat chakra opening the neck area.
Stay for a breath.
And now return your chin to neutral and tick tock your right ear to your right shoulder.
Fantastic.
Come back to neutral.
Let's do the left side,
Left ear,
Left shoulder.
Come back to center.
Now we're going to draw a circle,
Dropping chin to chest,
Sliding the chin towards the right,
Circling the chin to the sky,
Bringing left ear to left shoulder and chin returns to the chest.
Now go the opposite way.
Starting with the left ear,
Left shoulder,
Chin draws up to the sky,
Circling,
Coming to the right and resting the chin back on the chest and then return your chin to neutral.
That's a nice way just to say hey,
Throat chakra.
Also reduces some of that tension that we have in our neck and shoulders when we have to face something communication wise that is hard.
Let's finish with some affirmations for the throat chakra.
I speak my truth without hesitation.
My voice matters.
Being honest frees me.
My voice is necessary.
I express myself clearly and openly.
I am worthy of being heard.
I speak truth.
Take a breath.
If you struggle in this area,
If people have commented that you talk a lot,
Consider bringing some blue into your life,
Consider these affirmations,
Consider maybe looking at this energy center and on the other side,
If you withhold things,
You don't really speak your truth.
You swallow things rather than taking the risk to be truthful.
Consider bringing blue into your life,
Rolling out your shoulders,
Tucking your chin,
Lifting your chin,
Singing to your favorite song,
Humming chanting.
We'll continue this chakra journey.
And the next one we move up.
Have a beautiful blue day of truth.
