sound healing; Vishuddha

The throat chakra: Vishuddha is stimulated and harmonized by chanting.   Deva Premal and Miten are offering their annual 21 day mantra meditation journey.  Everyday you'll receive an email to access the chant of the day.  You will learn about chanting and what these mantras represent.  This is a very devotional practice.  I participated last year for only half, but loved it and feel drawn to participate again.  If you're interested in sharing this experience with me, then click here: 21 Day Mantra Meditation Journey  It begins on Tuesday September 10th, but you can jump in anytime.


About Vishuddha- It's the SEAT OF EXPRESSION! The bija chant is: HAM. This chakra is associated with the color blue, and the element ether. Motto: Be honest! This is a place of eloquence where you express your higher wisdom, the wisdom of harmony and alignment with the Divine Self. All actions are motivated by good intention, a desire to embody peace and to express the highest potential of life. Vishuddha is BALANCED when you can set clear and healthy boundaries to protect you and your family, to protect your time and energy, to say what you feel is right. You express yourself honestly, eloquently, and respectfully. When this chakra is IMBALANCED you may find yourself swallowing your words and feelings and not expressing yourself. You may give your time and energy away feeling depleted and stressed. You entertain hurtful gossip and speak badly about yourself and others.
On a physical plane, you have thyroid imbalances, a frequent sore throat, or neck pain. This chakra is located at the center of your throat and affects the thyroid.
To Speak
*Poses to balance this chakra: plow, shoulder stand, fish, neck rolls and twist, inversions (where the head is below the heart) to flow energy through vishuddha like uttanasana.
Express your voice!  Speak up for what you know is right. Sing and chant, dance, play an instrument, learn a new language, and write. Open the lines of communication with your loved ones.
