The Throat Chakra
As sound is the element and the orientation is the throat, this Chakra, when open and developed lends an ability of honest and clear vocal expression. Expressions of truth, creativity, insights, and intuition are enabled when this Chakra is open, developed, and integrated with the other Chakras. The ability to express needs with clarity, brevity, and no charge of emotion is reinforced.
When your Throat Chakra is open and balanced:
You are contented, centered, and have the desire and ability to live in the present As such you have an excellent sense of timing. Of course, you are a good speaker, creative in your expression. Your are able to express your needs without assuming that loved ones "know" what you need. You also have an understanding of what true meditation is and have the ability to enable others to sense that present moment experience.
When your Throat Chakra is open but unbalanced:
You may very well be arrogant, self-righteous, and talk too much. Your expression is dogmatic, and you may have addictive tendencies. Your sexual energy is macho and you prefer partners who can be dominated.
When your Throat Chakra is closed:
You are scared, timid, and hold back. You are probably quiet, inconsistent, unreliable, weak, devious, manipulative. You cannot express your thoughts nor your needs without excess emotion or unreasonable expectations. You cannot relax in your sexual energy and feel conflict with your religious upbringing, you may even be fearful of engaging in sexual activity.
Development of the Throat Chakra:
Tantra practice and the study and practice of Reiki is prescriptive for general Chakra balancing and development. Specific exercises for the development of this Chakra may include the practice of communicating with clarity and brevity.
It may be the right time to begin to realize that most of us in this culture have the characteristics of closed Chakras. hat has been offered as "Chakra clearing", Chakra cleansing", Chakra alignment", and the like are far from efficacious. Those employing those "therapies" or techniques haven't a clue as to what a Chakra is, let alone how to open and develop one. If a doctor said you needed brain surgery, you may very well ask, "What is wrong with my brain?" Energy "healers" and those that claim to work with Chakras do not seem to know what closes one.
The only thing that closes a Chakra is you! And you expend precious life energy holding them closed while you apply various learned strategies to avoid those events you do not want and desire those that you do. It is the world that suffers from this as the only way that "god" exists in this world is if the energy of life is allowed free access to express itself into the world.
The best way to open your Chakras, all of them, is to step out of their way. Once you have done this you see a very different life experience manifesting before you.
