The significance of the chakras: Throat: (Vishuddha)

Position: 5th the throat Colour: light blue Organs and glands associated: thyroid, throat, mouth

Crystals and stones:  turquoise, aquamarine, blue topaz, lapis lazuli   Planets:  Mercury, Neptune 

 Chakra mantra: Ham   Direction of spin: counter clockwise   Element: Ether

 Affirmations:  ‘At all times I speak my truth’, ‘I am not afraid to express how I am truly thinking’ ,’ My vision is clear and I express myself with integrity and confidence’, ‘I do not hold back when expressing how I am feeling or hide the truth from others’

Governing attributes: communication, influence, creative expression, communicating with honesty and integrity

The fifth Chakra is known as the throat or Vishuddha in Sanskrit and is a masculine chakra which encourages honest communications not only with ourselves but with others. The throat chakra governs energy release from the thyroid and as a result if our emotional or physical state is not balanced or healthy we can easily become tired or irritated as our energy sources become depleted.  

People with strong throat chakras are good communicators or naturally use their creative gifts in their work or leisure to express themselves, examples maybe music artists, lecturers or authors. Do you find it easy to always express your truth to yourself and others or are you afraid of criticism or judgement and so remain silent? Do you feel the words you wish to express are relevant? Sometimes the greatest lessons we learn in life are from the words of others through the written word or through listening to motivational speakers or indeed our loved ones.

Balanced and healthy throat chakra: able and willing to share your truth with others without fear of judgement, always communicate with honesty and integrity with no fear.

Blocked and closed throat chakra: Not speaking your truth, negative voices in your head, dismissive of what is important to you, unable to find the words to say how you are feeling or feel shy so unable to express as you would like too.

 Overly open/active chakra: Difficulty in stopping talking!

How to re balance the throat chakra::Find the confidence and drive to express what is important to you so your needs can be adequately met, trust in yourself, write a blog to communicate your ideas and thoughts to others, if you have ever wanted to sing try it’s a great way to express yourself and emotions! Creative writing or noting down your thoughts in a journal and finally be honest not only with yourself and your own needs but with others to ensure you are receiving what you need and not what others feel you need.

Misconceptions surrounding cuddle therapy

Image
  There can be many misconceptions surrounding the work of Cuddle therapists here are some of the most common: Misconception no.1 Cuddle Therapists are under cover sex workers / cuddling always leads to sexual activity A cuddle session is conducted with a professionally experienced and trained Cuddle Therapist who will ensure the appropriate ethics and boundaries are clearly discussed prior to the session and adhered to throughout, so that both client and therapist always feel safe and comfortable. These include no form of sexual touch is permitted at any time before during and after the session including kissing. Misconception no.2 Only the most desperate people would hire a Professional Cuddler This is simply not true. There will be times in everyone’s life when you just need that extra care and attention, it is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. It symbolises a degree of self-awareness and recognising a need for human contact. A session with a professional cuddler is always c

How to offer touch to someone who is hypersensitive to receiving it

Image
  Receiving touch is something many of us welcome and benefit from but not everyone is so accepting so what happens when someone is hyper sensitive to receiving and accepting touch? Touch is something that is a basic human need for us all, but what if you are hypersensitive to touch or are affected by ‘tactile defensiveness’ as it can be known and what may have caused this to occur? Individuals who experience hypersensitivity often say that things that touch their skin bother them more than others. This could include textures of clothes, food, stationary or of course touch and there are a variety of reasons as to why they may be hyper sensitive including hereditary, physical trauma, chemotherapy, drugs, substance abuse, infectious diseases, autism, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder and sensory processing disorders. Whatever the reason may be, it is essential to stay mindful and always compassionate and use a gentle, yet attentive therapeutic touch a

An exploration into cuddle therapy and exploring the taboos surrounding cuddling as a therapy?

  An exploration into cuddle therapy and exploring the taboos surrounding cuddling as a therapy? The benefits of receiving touch through massage therapy from a professional massage therapist is widely known and has been recognised and respected for some time. However, Touch or ‘Cuddle Therapy’ is a relatively new concept in the UK and is still in the process of being recognised and understood, although it is already becoming very popular and well established in many other countries including the USA, for all the positive benefits it can provide. This may be partly due to cultural differences and our interpretation of what ‘holding space’ for someone really means and how essential it is considered to be, which will of course vary hugely not only depending on our social conditioning and what is considered the ‘norm’, but on our own thought processes and feelings. In the USA for example the need to feel basic human touch in a platonic and non-sexual way is acknowledged and accepted, he
