Express yourself.. The throat chakra

-
The throat chakra is the 5th Chakra in our energy system and lies right at the throat. The chakra is also named as Vishuddha or Vishuddhi which means "pure place"
The chakra is also called as kantha padma which means lotus of the throat

The throat chakra is at the location of vocal chords and has to do with our outward communication. It has to do with the element of ether.It has a circle with a flower of 16 petals and hence is also termed as Shodash dala



Colour
The chakra is beautiful turquoise blue in colour. The blue is the colour of expression , infinity and inspiration

Beej mantra
The beej mantra is ham

Body parts
Ear ,Nose and Throat 
vocal chords
Neck 
Thyroid glands
Jaw and Teeth


Physical issues
Sore throat
Issues with teeth
Hypothyroid or Hyperthyroid
Neck pain and upper back issues

Mental and emotional
Trouble expressing yourself
Shame
Fear of speaking truth
Issues with public speaking
Laryngitis
Stammering

It is often noticed some people are gregarious and some are simply domineering. When someone speaks excessively loud or too much the chakra could be too big

On the other hand , people talking softly or ones not able to express oneself have a small throat chakra

The reason  I am bringing these issues is as a need for us to know how to balance a chakra


Deities
Hindu Goddess Saraswati is said to govern this chakra. Often singers have been said to be blessed with Saraswati presence in the throat Chakra
Archangel Michael is said to be governing this chakra

Ways to heal
1) Blue theraphy: use the turquoise blue colour.. It helps to soothe your tensions. I would highly reccommend wearing blue shirts for interviews or meetings where you could be nervous and have to speak
2) Deep breathing helps a lot. Also add mantras or chants. You could say these chants loudly . "Aum" chanting can help
3) Salt water gargles: an excellent technique to remove the blocks from chakra. I often tell clients to take a salt water bath before giving them a reiki healing. Salt helps to remove the negativity and the toxic energies
4) Write: to help express the unexpressed, write a journal. It will help you to remove the issues from mind
5) singing could help.. Who cares how you sing as long as you sing from your heart
6) Reiki / Energy healing can help
7) using crystals like kynaite or Lapis Lazuli can help
8)Spend time near the sea or below an open sky. You can carry a diary or paper and pen. Write down those thoughts which you cant speak or express
9) Yoga : Never underestimate the power of Yoga. Try poses like cobra pose , one of my favorites .. Excellent pose to stretch the neck.. Cobra pose can be used for most chakras
The lion pose with tongue sticking out could help too

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho

Closing Cycles: by Paulo Coelho One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave (in the past) the moments of life that have finished. You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. Things pass, and the best we can do is to let them really go away. That is why it is so important (however painful it may be!) to destroy souvenirs, move, give lots of things away to orphanages, sell or donate the books you have at home. Everything in this visible world is a manifestation of the invisible world, of what is going on in our hearts – and getting rid of certain memories also means making some room for other memories to take their place. Let things go. Release them. Detach yourself from them. Stop turning on your Emotional ...

Breaking Free: 7 Things I Stopped Doing as a Former People Pleaser

In the hustle and bustle of life, it's easy to lose ourselves in the art of people-pleasing, seeking validation and approval from those around us. Almost a decade ago, I found myself resonating with characters like Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and the City,' a show that once held a special place in my heart. However, as the years passed, I discovered a shift within me. I no longer found solace in the world of designer shoes and cosmopolitans; I realized I had outgrown the narrative of people pleasing and codependency that the series subtly glorified. Drawing inspiration from influential thought leaders, such as Dr. Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, Gabby Bernstein, Oprah, and Vishen Lakhiani, I embarked on a journey to break free from the chains of codependency Here are 7 things I stopped doing as a former people pleaser: 1. Seeking External Validation: Carrie's relentless pursuit of external validation struck a chord with my former self. Today, I no longer seek approval to defin...
