Dear Mark

 

Long Deep Breathing is good for developing patience (and calming nerves) and

would be very effective if done for 31 minutes twice a day for the next 2

weeks. It would go a long way towards opening your throat chakra and

allowing your truth to come out of your mouth especially if combined with

vibrating "SAT NAM" mentally. Long Sat on the inhale and long Nam on the

exhale. If done for 40 days it will undo all the negative images you have of

yourself and pave the way for the positive ones to remain fixed in your

psyche. Any meditations to open the throat chakra will also work wonders on

the quality and the sound of your voice. It is often not in the words but in

the tone...Tone carries conviction and passion and belief. It helps if you

really believe in your topic and can speak from the heart. The truth,

uttered from the throat, but coming from the heart, carries with it the

beauty of love and compassion. So you can end your meditation (the long deep

breathing) with chanting long sat nams for 11 to 31 minutes. (Long

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT to a short NAM: sat is 31 times as long as nam).You will

begin to detect notes and tones in your voice that you've never heard

before. Another tip: in order to carry conviction through any obstacles

(even self imposed ones) to your hearers, your voice must come from the

navel. Thus the energy is combined with the fire of your being (the element

of the navel chakra is fire, used to burn through obstacles in your path and

also to connect with the Divine Mother through the umbilicus). To set this

navel energy and allow yourself to access it, do stretch pose for at least 1

minute a day. Stretch pose: lie on your back, raise head, hands and feet 6

inches off the ground, look at your toenails and begin breath of fire. If

you have lower back problems put your hands under your hips to allow your

lower back to sink down to the ground. This is best done in bed before you

get up, first thing on opening your eyes after thanking the Universe for yet

another glorious day.

 

KY is SO useful sometimes...
