Welcome to this doorway of expression for your throat chakra activation,
The shuddha.
Find your comfy space,
Warm and cozy,
One that feels supportive for your body,
Seated with your spine gently tall or lying down with your arms resting softly at your sides.
Allow your eyes to close gently and just bring your awareness inward.
Take a deep breath in and let it go with a sigh.
Feel your body beginning to release.
Inhale once more,
Feeling your chest and belly expand.
And exhale,
Letting go of any stress or tension that you've been carrying.
Just visualize roots growing from the base of your body,
Anchoring you to the earth.
You are safe here,
You are supported,
You are held.
Let your attention gently rise now to the center of your throat.
This is the sacred doorway of expression.
Feel your breath flowing into your throat chakra.
The throat chakra is the center of communication and truth.
The color is a deep blue.
Two beautiful crystals that support this chakra are aquamarine,
Known for its calming energy that eases fear of speaking and helps you express your truth with confidence,
And blue lace agate,
A gentle stone that can help to soothe anxiety and encourage clear,
Compassionate communication.
They can help to open the pathway for authentic self-expression.
Before we move forward with this practice,
Just spend a few moments on cleansing your throat chakra.
Visualize a cool stream of crystal clear water.
It's flowing gently through your throat.
It's washing away old words that are left unsaid,
Heavy emotions that might be caught in your voice and any lingering tension.
With each inhale,
You draw in this refreshing stream,
And each exhale releases anything that no longer belongs.
You might picture the blue light at your throat spinning gently,
Like a wheel rinsed by rain,
Restoring purity and openness.
Breathe into the sensation of renewal,
Lightness,
And clarity.
As this chakra begins to open,
Know that your physical voice also responds to care and gentleness.
A sip of warm water or herbal tea before speaking or singing soothes your vocal cords and gentle humming tones like a cat's purr warm and loosen the voice.
Even a few slow neck rolls or relaxed jaw movements can really help to release tension and invite openness.
Your voice is not just a tool,
It is a living,
Breathing instrument of your beautiful soul.
So,
Treat it kindly and it will carry your truth with ease.
So,
Let's begin by awakening your throat chakra with the breath.
Inhale through your nose slowly and exhale through your mouth with a soft whisper as if you are fogging up a mirror.
This is the yujayi breath,
Sometimes called the ocean breath,
And it helps to create a gentle vibration in your throat.
Inhale,
The ocean wave is rising,
And exhale,
Feel the ocean wave falling back into the ocean.
So,
Just visualize your breath like a tide moving through your throat.
It's washing away tension,
It's cleansing,
It's soothing.
Now,
Let's add sound.
So,
Inhale deeply through your nose and as you exhale hum softly and just feel the vibration travel through your throat,
Your lips,
Jaw and chest.
So,
Each hum is like a tuning fork aligning your throat chakra with clarity and truth.
So,
Continue now for a few more rounds,
Hums rising and falling as though you are singing to your own soul.
Inhale and exhale hum softly.
And once more,
Inhale deeply through your nose and as you exhale hum.
Feel that vibration in your throat,
Your lips,
Jaw and chest.
It's aligning and opening your throat chakra.
Wonderful.
Now,
Just bring your attention back to stillness.
Now,
At your throat,
Just visualize a radiant sphere of blue light.
It's the color of a clear sky just after sunrise.
It's the color of a calm lake reflecting the heavens above.
Now,
With every inhale,
This sphere grows brighter and with every exhale,
It expands outward.
Just feel it filling your entire neck and shoulders with this gentle,
Healing glow.
Now,
This blue light clears away fear of judgment,
Dissolves the heaviness of unspoken truths and softens any constriction.
Just see this light as a beautiful lotus flower.
Its blue petals are opening with each breath.
Now,
See this blue light as a glowing sky.
It's vast and infinite,
Reminding you that there is endless space for your voice to be free.
Breathe into this light.
Let it grow.
Let it shine.
Let it flow.
Beautiful.
Let's invite now sacred sound.
It's the bija mantra or seed sound of the throat chakra.
So,
As you inhale deeply,
Then exhale,
Chant,
And let the sound vibrate through your throat.
Again,
Let's inhale and chant.
Now,
Just allow this mantra to ripple through you.
It's like a bell ringing out in a still night.
With each repetition,
Just see the blue light at your throat pulsing brighter,
Expanding wider.
So,
Just continue for a few cycles at your own pace.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Feel it resonating truth,
Purity and freedom.
Continue in your own time now.
So,
Just see yourself in a safe,
Sacred space.
Perhaps it is a quiet clearing in a forest.
With tall trees standing in silence or a wide meadow under a blue sky.
Or it could be the circle of light that is surrounding you.
But here,
Your voice is free.
Here,
You are fully heard.
So,
Feel the soft breeze of the wind brushing against your throat.
It's inviting you to speak,
To sing,
To hum your truth.
In this sacred place,
You can say anything that has long been waiting inside you.
Maybe there are words of love.
Maybe there are unspoken truths.
Or maybe just simply the sound of your own beautiful,
Authentic voice.
So,
Just allow those words or sounds to rise within you.
You can whisper them softly if you wish.
Or simply hold them in your heart.
Or speak them out loud.
And just see the forest or the meadow,
The circle of light listening.
Receiving your truth with compassion,
With honor,
With love.
Breathe into this freedom of this moment.
Let's anchor this practice with these affirmations.
Repeat each one out loud,
Silently or as a whisper to yourself.
I speak my truth with clarity and confidence.
My voice is a gift to the world.
I express myself with love and authenticity.
I listen deeply and I am heard.
I am free to create and communicate from my soul.
Now,
Just feel these words weaving into your energy,
Imprinting into the blue light at your throat chakra.
Slowly and gently,
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
Inhale deeply and exhale fully.
Notice how your throat feels open,
Clear,
Spacious.
And notice how your body feels.
Calm,
Grounded,
Present.
Just see the blue light at your throat softening now.
It's becoming a gentle glow,
But it is always available when you need it.
So,
Gently roll your shoulders if that feels good.
Gently stretch and move your body back into waking awareness.
And when you are ready,
Softly open your eyes.
Carry this clarity of expression with you.
Speak with honesty,
Listen with love,
And remember always,
Your voice matters.
Namaste,
My friend.
