Communication Breakdown

Ahh the throat chakra…one of the most challenging areas for so many people. Imagine the physical shape of our bodies. Out of all of our chakras, the throat is the narrowest area.

As we come to our centerpoint of balance, each of the chakras need to be accounted for sequentially to bring a balance into the whole being. We layer in the base chakra, sacral, solar plexus, heart and then throat (followed by the third eye then the crown.) We create an upwards momentum of energy.

So, as you could imagine that the amount of work it takes to pass that collective energy upwards through such a small area, is a lot!

This may contribute to the fact that so many people have fears around speaking.

This area is also the location of the parathyroid and the thyroid as well as the same region as the cerebellum. All of these organs are responsible for communication in our bodies.

The throat chakra is the communication center.

Some mantra for maintaining balance in this area:

• My voice is clear

• My voice matters

• I speak my truth

• I speak

• My voice is strong

The current state of the world is leaving so many of us a bit fearful on speaking. There are polarizations around everything and the social responsibilities to maintain surrounding so many progressive movements are intimidating.

When we speak our truth and filter the messages through each of our lenses, our voices become an important component to the deeper human healing.
