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.

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
