In this session,
We're gonna do a throat chakra visualization meditation.
You're getting comfortable where you are,
Either sitting down or lying down,
Whichever feels right for you in this moment.
Feeling into the body right now,
Notice how it's feeling.
Is there any tension?
Perhaps it's heavy and relaxed already.
And bringing your eyes gently closed now,
If you haven't already.
If you wish to keep your eyes open,
That's fine too.
Just taking up a soft gaze on a point just in front of you.
Bring your attention to the breath now.
Without changing the breath,
Simply observe the cool air on the inhale,
Entering the body.
Observe the warm air on the exhale as it leaves the body.
Bring in a nice big inhale through your nose.
And when you're ready,
Releasing on the exhale.
Do this three more times.
Three deep and conscious breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.
And bring your attention now to the sounds you might be able to hear in the room around you at the moment.
Is it quiet where you are?
Bring your attention now to what you can see in front of you.
And if your eyes are closed,
Just observe what may appear in the space behind your,
And in between that space in between the eyebrows.
What's appearing there for you now?
Now bring your attention to what you can feel touching your body.
Can you feel clothing on your skin?
Perhaps you may feel the warm rays of sunlight coming through the window and landing on your skin.
If you feel your feet resting on the ground beneath,
Shift your attention now to any flavours or tastes you may be able to notice in your mouth.
And now observe if you notice any fragrances or smells in the air around you.
Perhaps there's a perfume or a cologne.
Perhaps there may be someone's cooking,
Wafting in from another room.
Now as you continue to rest in your current position,
Place your right hand over your throat and your left hand over that one.
Breathe into this space,
Letting your hands rise and fall with the motion.
The Vashuddha is the Sanskrit name for the fifth chakra,
Which is the throat chakra.
And this is the centre of your energy system that supports honesty,
Integrity,
Communication,
Self-expression,
And in many ways,
Your creativity.
If you're unable to express yourself,
If you aren't your authentic self,
You may bottle things up or even evade the truth or have trouble tapping into your creative side.
And this meditation can help you break through those challenges.
As you tune into the vibrational energy of your throat chakra,
Allow your inhaled breath to draw in and support all you need at this moment.
Draw in honesty,
Creativity,
Openness,
Integrity,
And expression.
With each and every inward breath,
Exhale any stagnant energy that is getting in the way of your self-expressive being.
Let it all go on a big,
Beautiful exhale.
And while you continue your meditation,
Tune into the colour of the throat chakra.
If this colour is blue,
You see this colour in your throat with your mind's eye.
What shade of blue is it?
Does it flicker?
Is it a pale and weak colour?
Or is it a strong and vibrant blue?
Now is the perfect time to harness the power of the throat chakra.
Allow your breath to continue to draw in energy and brighten this colour with every inhale.
Imagine it growing stronger,
Brighter,
Deeper,
And more powerful with every breath.
Continue like this.
Sit in this space and continue to enliven this vibrational energy of the throat chakra.
Slowly becoming aware of your body resting on the earth,
Feeling your feet on the floor,
Listening out for any sounds around you in this moment,
And noticing what you might be able to see right now.
If your eyes are closed,
Just observing whatever colours,
Shapes,
Or visions might present themselves.
You might like to bring a gentle rotation into the wrists,
Rotation of the ankle,
Perhaps a jiggle of the arms and the legs and the torso.
When you're ready,
You can open your eyes.
And the meditation is now complete.
So how did you find that meditation?
And that practice can be a great one to tap into if wanting to enhance communication skills and confidence,
And really enliven the throat chakra.
So may you take this meditative state with you into your next activity into the day ahead.
Thank you for joining me.
