The Throat: Our Voice, Our Yielding - [Part 6]

In a broad sense, the throat chakra revolves around expression. There are many different forms of communication, but much of what is conveyed is not so bluntly picked up on. We reveal ourselves simply with presence. Our biofields are perpetually interacting with others’ auric bodies, although most of this is occurring on a subconscious level. Undoubtedly, our intuition will guide us as we navigate our surroundings. We must keep this in mind as we attempt to interpret our own perceptions. Instinctive ‘feelings’ can sweep over and signal us of perhaps an intention or manner of character. Nonetheless, this can be misleading if, for instance, our veil of viewpoint is skewed by our own ego. Sometimes we are lead by false pretenses, and sometimes what we See may be swayed by our own mental and emotional capacities. It is helpful to be as self-aware as possible so that we may better decipher our reality. When we operate outside of our personal truth, we unknowingly still exude a persona of falsity. Certain people may be more in tune with this discernment than others; however, we are all capable of listening with sensible composure. As one practices the art of existing in clear-headed space and acting from within his or her divine form, the individual will relay with more confidence and observe with an open mind. The stronger we stand within ourselves, the more effectively we project our motives and purpose. Sincerity is key. I think we are often taught to put on a façade so as to act according to social standards and norms. I believe this disingenuous attitude will ultimately isolate us. I think we owe it to each other to maneuver our space in a raw manner. We are here to be both teachers and learners, and our relationships should encompass a shared spirit of respect despite how difficult honesty can be at times. Notice whether or not you are resonating with your particular modes of being and doing and then ask yourself what that is imparting on your environment. Consider how you could rearrange various habits that may not be favorable for yourself and/or others.

Self-expression thrives as one discovers his or herself and radiates what comes naturally. We can embrace inspiration of mind and spirit towards that which drives us. We can search for truth amidst the layers and complexities. What you think and how you feel affects you on all levels of your being and spurs the climate of your vicinity and the mood of others. We must speak in ways that do not harm others, and we must be cautious in criticism or judgment. Lying is a violation of both the body and the spirit. It is against our natural disposition to distort truth. I think, too, our scrutiny of others tends to originate in insecurities within ourselves. When these anxieties of comparison or self-doubt manifest, it is easier to consider ill of another. We must concentrate on adjusting our own outlooks and management of self so that we may assist and encourage others as they work out their own kinks. This requires consistent redirection of energy towards progressive actions and behaviors. If we cannot release ourselves from the burden of guilt-induced emotion, we create negative consequences both in the body and in our external setting. The throat chakra carries information concerning your sense of self within society. We have a responsibility to our community to contribute in a positive fashion.

The throat center is just as focused on receiving information as it is giving. It is imperative that we find this mutual balance in our exchanges with one another. I think when we assimilate others’ messages with a conscious mind, it allows us to concurrently know ourselves better. I think one’s ability to comprehend material is fastened to one’s ability to exercise objective attentiveness and sensitivity. A state of empathy is an inclination more for some than others. It is not uncommon for one to undergo health problems in the throat region due to an inability to accept or comprehend specific circumstances or notions.

This chakra also acts as a zone for awareness and for our desire to make contact with the divine plan of our life. Choices must often be made, in faith and trust, that allow divine authority to enter our lives and reorder our struggles into successes and our wounds into strengths. It is important that we relinquish our spirit from the authority of the physical world and instead seek spiritual directive. Consciousness involves being aware of the movement of your spirit. This calls for a meshing of the aspirations of the heart and mind. We must regain an element of control over every place our spirit has been unconsciously plugged into. It is easy to conduct ourselves from a surface plane of Self, but all motions should necessitate our full awareness and agreement. Sometimes we may need to retrieve our spirit from the ‘negative missions’ we may have sent it on. It may be that a present course of action merely needs to be reoriented. Remember that we also have jurisdiction over past versions of Self, and we do have the power to influence the kind of energy that composites previous experience. Accessing these moments will be a meditative undertaking that implies a reorganization of perspective. We are capable of this rewiring. As we surrender to the break down of Self, we allow our divine form to bleed through and have a more dominant role in our life.
