How to Balance the Throat Chakra
As a follow up to my post on Moses' issues with self-expression and the human resistance to redemption, I thought I'd share some practices that have helped me with balancing the throat chakra.
http://youtu.be/-Fqlm0B0EHsVideo re-cap, plus some extra tips: Self-inquiry: Ask yourself what you are holding back from expressing? What are you having difficulty creating and birthing into the material world? What personal truth are you afraid of communicating out loud? Color: BLUE. Wear it. Look at it. Color it.Affirmations: Repeat these statements. Feel their resonance in your body and throat.I am open, clear, and honest in my communication.I communicate my feelings with ease.I live an authentic life.I love to share my experiences and wisdom. Crystals: Chalcedony, turquoise, aquamarine, lapis, blue topaz.This is the one I wanted to show you in the video (actually it's chalcanthite, not chalcedony):
Singing: My current song of choice --> Don't Cry For Me Argentina.I actually like Madonna's rendition the best. Earth: Lie down on the grass and feel yourself melt into Gaia. Allow her to nourish and energize your body, balance your chakras, and calm your emotions. Essential Oils: Sandalwood, lavender, jasmine, rosewood. Chanting: Ham. I also recommend the Moola Mantra sung by Prema Deval. Yoga Asanas: Back bends, fish pose, bridge pose.Don't Cry For Me Argentina Lyrics:It won't be easy, you'll think it strangeWhen I try to explain how I feelThat I still need your love after all that I've doneYou won't believe meAll you will see is a girl you once knewAlthough she's dressed up to the ninesAt sixes and sevens with youI had to let it happen, I had to changeCouldn't stay all my life down at heelLooking out of the window, staying out of the sunSo I chose freedomRunning around, trying everything newBut nothing impressed me at allI never expected it toDon't cry for me ArgentinaThe truth is I never left youAll through my wild daysMy mad existenceI kept my promiseDon't keep your distanceAnd as for fortune, and as for fameI never invited them inThough it seemed to the world they were all I desiredThey are illusionsThey are not the solutions they promised to beThe answer was here all the timeI love you and hope you love meDon't cry for me ArgentinaHave I said too much?There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.But all you have to do is look at me to knowThat every word is true...
