Speaker: 00:00:35

Today let us talk about the fifth chakra or the throat chakra.

Speaker: 00:00:40

And this is very much around expressing who you really are,

Speaker: 00:00:45

like just being you as you.

Speaker: 00:00:48

The element here is ether or sound.

Speaker: 00:00:52

So it's very much around expressionOf course this is throat chakra as well.

Speaker: 00:00:56

So this is how you express how you talk, how you are able to be, really.

Speaker: 00:01:04

And you could not be true to yourself if you don't really understand yourself

Speaker: 00:01:09

if you haven't already done that work.

Speaker: 00:01:12

It's very much being authentic, it's very much being genuine, it's very

Speaker: 00:01:17

much about really being that person.

Speaker: 00:01:21

The affirmation for this chakra is very much around I release myself.

Speaker: 00:01:27

Being able to embody who you are, that is very much that essence of feeling

Speaker: 00:01:36

free and of feeling like you are free to vibrate, you are free to be as you are.

Speaker: 00:01:43

So when you say this affirmation, that I release myself, what you are in fact

Speaker: 00:01:49

saying is that you let go of the parts that are not yours and you are really

Speaker: 00:01:57

releasing yourself so now there's no limit and you can just be as you want to be.

Speaker: 00:02:05

So let's look at what does a healthy throat chakra look like.

Speaker: 00:02:13

What are the signs that you can know whether your throat

Speaker: 00:02:16

chakra is balanced or not?

Speaker: 00:02:18

So first it's very much around speaking.

Speaker: 00:02:22

So are you able to speak?

Speaker: 00:02:23

Do you feel comfortable with your voice even?

Speaker: 00:02:27

That's a sign of how much are you able to be authentic?

Speaker: 00:02:31

Like a lot of people will complain that they don't like their own voice.

Speaker: 00:02:37

And that's just a sign that they need to work on their throat chakra.

Speaker: 00:02:42

Are you able to speak up to keep your feelings bottled in?

Speaker: 00:02:46

Are you able to share what you want?

Speaker: 00:02:50

What feels okay to you?

Speaker: 00:02:52

What doesn't feel okay to you?

Speaker: 00:02:55

Are you able to share positive emotions?

Speaker: 00:02:58

Are you able to share feelings of love?

Speaker: 00:03:02

Are you able to really be vulnerable in that space and go,

Speaker: 00:03:05

Hey, I'm really in love with you.

Speaker: 00:03:09

Can you acknowledge that?

Speaker: 00:03:11

Can you do that?

Speaker: 00:03:12

That dependency?

Speaker: 00:03:13

Can you have that?

Speaker: 00:03:15

Can you just say what you feel?

Speaker: 00:03:19

Whether that's deep feelings of love or whether that is.

Speaker: 00:03:24

feeling hurt.

Speaker: 00:03:25

Can you convey that?

Speaker: 00:03:27

So do your emotions go up and down with that or can you just really have a chat

Speaker: 00:03:33

like a non emotional but explanatory chat?

Speaker: 00:03:39

So if you are someone who tends to run away from conversations like this or

Speaker: 00:03:45

someone who just cannot share their emotions too much, then chances are

Speaker: 00:03:49

your throat chakra is not that balanced.

Speaker: 00:03:53

A balanced throat chakra is where you are able to speak and be yourself.

Speaker: 00:03:59

If you are able to put yourself out and just be who you are, if you're not as

Speaker: 00:04:06

conscious of how you are dressing, what you are saying, if you can just be, if

Speaker: 00:04:10

you are comfortable in your element, then that's a balanced throat chakra.

Speaker: 00:04:17

Now throat chakra is a lot around communication and hence social

Speaker: 00:04:20

media comes in here as well.

Speaker: 00:04:22

I'm talking about social media in the sense where people are using

Speaker: 00:04:26

social media to express themselves.

Speaker: 00:04:30

If you are putting on a vibe there that is not you, then just ask

Speaker: 00:04:37

yourself, why is that happening?

Speaker: 00:04:41

Why do you feel like that?

Speaker: 00:04:43

Because those underlying fears and doubts will give you clues to the areas

Speaker: 00:04:48

that you need to heal within yourself.

Speaker: 00:04:50

If on social media you can be truly authentic, that would be a sign that

Speaker: 00:04:55

you have a balanced relationship.

Speaker: 00:04:57

Now, how much you feel influenced by, let's say the likes, the followers,

Speaker: 00:05:03

comments, et cetera, so on, if you were deriving your validation with that,

Speaker: 00:05:07

then again, that's an outward focus.

Speaker: 00:05:10

It's not an inward focus.

Speaker: 00:05:12

All the chakras are very much Inward focus like that's what they want you to get to.

Speaker: 00:05:18

That's the evolution that all the chakras are eventually leading you to.

Speaker: 00:05:23

So if you can be as you are, and it doesn't mean upsetting people.

Speaker: 00:05:28

It doesn't mean, raising your voice and going like, okay, I need to

Speaker: 00:05:33

really champion this cause or so on.

Speaker: 00:05:36

You can do that, but if it comes from a place of ease, where you can just

Speaker: 00:05:40

be, where it's not really taking over you, where you can still feel calm,

Speaker: 00:05:47

where your breath is at its usual pace, where your body is not tensing up,

Speaker: 00:05:55

then that's a balanced throat chakra.

Speaker: 00:06:00

Where you can be authentic, where you can be who you want to be, where

Speaker: 00:06:06

you can be on social media, where you can really put yourself out there,

Speaker: 00:06:10

but you're doing it more from the place of you rather than others.

Speaker: 00:06:17

The affirmation that we talked about in the beginning, I release myself,

Speaker: 00:06:21

it's around releasing yourself from all of these limitations, from all

Speaker: 00:06:26

of these bindings that I've got to say it right for this person.

Speaker: 00:06:30

I've got to do it right.

Speaker: 00:06:31

Otherwise these people will think like that or so on.

Speaker: 00:06:35

It is I release myself from all of these bindings because I'm a

Speaker: 00:06:41

free being, I'm a free person.

Speaker: 00:06:44

And in that sense, being truly authentic to yourself, it's owning your own

Speaker: 00:06:49

voice, and just being who you are.

Speaker: 00:06:53

That relationship, whether that's with social media, or that's on your

Speaker: 00:06:58

blog posts, that's in your general conversations with people, that's

Speaker: 00:07:02

your business language or work language, or your personal life.

Speaker: 00:07:06

It's just embodying who you are, who you want to be, your inner voice,

Speaker: 00:07:11

your inner truth, that's what your throat chakra beckons you to do.

Speaker: 00:07:16

Now throat chakra is also connected with the otherwise we

Speaker: 00:07:19

call them as minor chakras, hands.

Speaker: 00:07:22

And hands are so amazing with creativity.

Speaker: 00:07:25

So throat chakra is a lot around creativity as well.

Speaker: 00:07:28

It's creativity with your voice.

Speaker: 00:07:30

How do you express?

Speaker: 00:07:31

How do you say things?

Speaker: 00:07:33

And with your hands, it's a lot of writing as well.

Speaker: 00:07:36

And how do you use words?

Speaker: 00:07:38

You see words have the power of really motivating people, of inspiring

Speaker: 00:07:44

people, taking them on a journey.

Speaker: 00:07:46

But that journey could be, could be something that brings the whole

Speaker: 00:07:52

humanity forward, or the words could be something that puts someone down as well.

Speaker: 00:07:58

So it's having that balance, how much joy, how much love, how

Speaker: 00:08:02

much authenticity are you able to bring there with Throat Chakra.

Speaker: 00:08:07

So I hope that gives you enough.

Speaker: 00:08:10

with the throat chakra.
