Disease (numb, cold hands), colds & sinus problems, tendency to whine,

scream, curse, or otherwise verbally abuse self and others using words

or sounds; or conversely, to " clam up " and repress speech

 

Communication is vital to the proper functioning of the body as well

as interaction with other beings and the environment. Full

communication requires three parts: input, output, and processing. A

block at any level of communication may result in a physical or

emotional disorder at the throat chakra level. Even mild frustration

can lead to a harmful communication problem, such as yelling or

sarcasm. If these problems persist or are sublimated/internalized,

physical problems of the neck/throat, arms/hands and sinuses/ears can

occur.

 

In order to keep the throat chakra functioning well, be conscious of

the tightness of the throat and neck; take time to focus on relaxing

these areas, especially before attempting communication with others.

Humming or toning helps with this process. Stretch the arms, roll the

shoulders and neck. Try not to abuse your ears with cacophanous noise;

if you work in a loud environment, use your ear protection. Count to

ten to give your mind a moment to focus on input before immediately

allowing your mouth or hands to deliver output. You will find that you

will be getting better quality of responses because your words and

actions will be more considered and polished. If you are truly having

problems with this issue, you might consider taking a class in drama,

speech, dance, tai chi, qi gong or yoga. Patience is a learned skill

that is important at this level.

 

And most importantly, know that others may not be as conscious or as

courteous as you with communication skills. Be patient and attempt to

hear what they are truly saying, rather than how they are saying it.

Our greatest flaw in communication is jumping to conclusions and

taking offense before knowing what others are attempting to express.

If the person's tone is offensive, we tend to ignore the words.

 

This is the key difference between " hearing " and " listening " .

 

In the past, women and children were not encouraged to speak, and if

you will notice, many of the disorders at this level are common to

women. There is no need for this to persist now, if we learn to feel

confident, patient and strong in our communication skills. We can

express what we need. We can hear and respond to the needs of others.

We can sing, and hug, and laugh, and listen. Just like the blue sky,

our possibilities are endless.

 

Animals associated with the throat chakra in East Indian tradition are

the elephant, the bull, and the lion.

You can meditate on your throat center whicch in the Lord's prayer in

Christianity is the center of will. Goldenseal is also good as well as drinking

lots of pineapple juice. Here is a link that I made that might help a little

too.

throat chakra

 

 

Hello. I just joined but had a question about my throat chakra. I had a

nightmare last night that there was something wrong with my throat and

I was getting up in the middle of the night to go look for some

vitamins/medicine. There were bottles and bottles of vitamins and

supplements on the kitchen table but none for the throat that I saw. In

the dream I must have been back with my ex because he came into the

kitchen asking what I was doing -accusingly/angry. (In real life he

suddenly popped up again after almost three years.) I almost felt like

I had to come up with some excuse at first but instead I got really,

really pissed and became violent. I remember at one point I picked him

up by the back of his neck and threw him. Anyway, I wanted to ask if

there's anything I can do to heal my throat chakra as it seems

something needs to be done besides getting angry. Thanks in advance.

In addition to Margaret's suggestions that you meditate on your throat

chakra and drink pineapple juice, consider what you might have said that

you regret and/or what you have withheld from saying that you really

need to say. When your throat chakra is functioning well, you are able

to say what needs to be said without either shame or blame. The anger

seems to suggest that blame may be the issue, whether you might be

blaming yourself or your ex or someone else.

 

You might try giving your throat chakra expression through journaling,

knowing that you will be saying what needs to be said, even if you

decide that nothing of what you wish to say really needs to be said out

loud to anyone else to have the energy dissipate.

 

Be sure to get additional rest until you feel yourself to be fully

centered and confident that you've done everything that needs to be done.
