"The way we communicate with others and with ourselves determines the quality of our lives."
- Anthony Robbins
We all know of the difficulty we find today to get closer to ourselves . Whether for work, study, family or money, we find it very difficult to find moments in the day to connect with our true selves . However, in the long run this brings us countless complications in our daily lives, reaching the point of being a threat to health.
More than half a dozen different medical disciplines preach the influence that our mood and our emotions have on the proper functioning of our body. So much so that little by little Western medicine also includes this perspective in its diagnoses, something that was totally unthinkable some years ago .
With regard to the balance that is important for our body, the energy that circulates through it is the main protagonist. That is why to take care of our balance, it is crucial to clean the different channels so that energy can circulate throughout our body naturally and effectively.
Behold, the cleaning of the chakras is a fundamental task in our daily lives. We have previously discussed the importance of the Solar Plexus Chakra . This time, the Throat Chakra will be our protagonist.
We will see, then, considerations to consider in relation to the Throat Chakra and its role in us.
Vishuddha: the Throat Chakra
The Throat Chakra is the fifth of the seven main Chakras, and the first of the superiors. This covers the area that includes the neck, ears, molars and other teeth, our jaw, the thyroid gland, the upper part of the lungs, the esophagus and nose.
This chakra is directly related to our ability to communicate, transmit and capture through language. Express thoughts and purposes, and carry words with meaning and responsibility .
The Throat Chakra is also in direct connection with our inner voice and the search for truth. It is considered the first of the spiritual chakras because it vibrates in tune with the universe and our metaphysical being .
Being the center of communication, body, artistic and symbolic languages will also depend on it. In addition, this chakra allows us to be more aware of ourselves.
The creative capacity to be directly influenced by the Throat Chakra, because it is rooted in a higher form of consciousness, where we connect with our divine energy .
The sense of hearing is governed by this center, and is the source of the subtle energy of sound.
Meaning of the Throat Chakra
The Throat Chakra is represented by a blue Lotus Flower, which has sixteen paint, and in each of these petals you can see the sixteen vowels of the Sanskrit .
The vowels are the elements that contain air in the words, so in this symbol they are considered as a representation of the Spirit . Inside the flower a triangle can be seen pointing down, which represents the ether element. We will also see inside the Yantra, composed of a silver crescent inside a white circle that shines like a full moon.
The Throat Chakra is also related to the illustration of Airavata, the elephant king. His name in Sanskrit is Vishuddha . The word Shuddhi means Purification, and the prefix Vi emphasizes this quality. Located between the heart and the head, joining feeling with thought, this center communicates the purification of the body, the mind and the spirit .
The ether and sound are the elements of this chakra, and are inseparable. Because of that intimate relationship, the ear is considered the perceptual organ of the ether, and the voice (the mouth) the organ of its action. The representative color of the Throat Chakra is pure blue.
The mantra of this chakra is ' HAM ', pronounced as ' Hang '. The sound of the "H" should be produced in the back of our throat.
Function of the Vishuddha Center
The Throat Chakra plays a fundamental role in creating a structure of thought and communication with others in early childhood. In addition, the learning process is closely related to this chakra in all kinds of knowledge.
When the Throat Chakra is balanced, the person can establish a connection with others from honesty. Trust yourself because the balance of this center favors self-knowledge . That also facilitates the path of leadership, and predisposes you to listen to others. This openness directly influences creative processes, spiritual perspective and the search for a higher purpose for your life.
On the other hand, if the Throat Chakra is blocked, the person has complications for verbal expression. He has a hard time communicating clearly, and tends to lie and exaggerate when the occasion compromises him. It is usually very competitive and finds it very difficult to learn new things, and this usually causes problems in their self-esteem.
Thinking about a purpose for life can generate anxiety and fear. And a prolonged blockage in this center can influence the health of the thyroid and throat.
How to exercise the Throat Chakra
As with all Chakra, exercising its functions correctly is the way to strengthen it and promote the flow of energy. Creativity exercises, such as poetry or music, have a positive impact on the Throat Chakra . Singing keeps the throat warm and activates the vocal cords. The dance and everything that implies a creative movement will also keep its energy in circulation.
In addition, it is advisable to surround yourself with the blue color as much time as possible. Listening to people is also an exercise that involves the Throat Chakra, so we must get used to being more attentive to others.
It is essential that the practice of truth be exercised. The lie is a destructive action in every way, and the damage it causes us internally is immeasurable. Let's say and look for the truth .
Lavender, eucalyptus and tangerine also have powers that favor the opening of the throat . Massages can be done by rubbing the area with oils to achieve good results. The crystals that act on the Throat Chakra are lapis lazuli, sapphire and blue sodalite.
Efforts should be made to repeat positive affirmations for this center, such as ' I am the manifestation of the truth', 'I express the creative force ' or ' the truth dwells in me '.
In any case, meditation is the exercise of self-knowledge par excellence. During the practice of meditation, you should repeat the throat chakra mantra, and visualize the blue energy flowing through this center with total nature.
Our health is the result of the exercise of balancing each of the aspects that involve our being. And as social beings, our communication is a fundamental part of life.
Let us seek to live and preach the Truth at every moment.
And with it we will reach balance.
