What is the Throat Chakra and what does it govern?

 


What is the Throat Chakra and what does it govern? Hi Everyone, Have you ever wondered what the chakras are and what they do? Well now is your chance to find out with this guide. Please follow for more in-depth information and guidance to increase your knowledge and understanding . Here we focus on the Throat Chakra, otherwise known as Vishudda. An in depth exploration of the chakras: Throat (Vishuddha) Location: the throat area (5th chakra) Colour: light blue Related organs/glands: mouth, throat, thyroid Stones and crystals: aquamarine, lapis lazuli, turquoise, blue topaz Associated Planets: Neptune, Mercury Chakra mantra: Ham Direction of movement counter clockwise Corresponding Element: Ether Life Affirmations: ‘I choose to speak the truth at all times ‘My vision ahead is clear and I choose to express myself with clarity and confidence ‘I am always open and truthful when expressing to others how I feel ‘ ‘I choose to communicate with honesty and integrity at all times’. Governing attributes: Open and honest communication, choosing to treat others with integrity and authenticity, creative expression at all times. The Throat chakra or Vishuddha as it is known in Sanskrit is the fifth Chakra and is masculine and connected to the heart chakra below. This is the energy centre of communication and it is very common to see authors, lecturers or musicians using this chakra in their work. It is also a way to truly express how we feel and be completely honest and authentic to speak our truth as often so many people are afraid to do that for fear of judgement from others or repercussions as a result of their words. The thyroid is also responsible for energy release from the body so those suffering from tiredness may want to check to see if their throat chakra is open and functioning correctly. Signs of a healthy and balanced throat chakra are those who are able to communicate honestly and openly with others, without fear or judgement. Signs of a closed or blocked throat chakra are making the choice to not speak in an honest way or unable to find the words to express how you are really feeling, being dismissive of what others are trying to communicate to you. Signs of an overly active or open throat chakra are: a person who just will not stop talking ,so you struggle to get a word in edgeways! Learning to re balance the throat chakra: Become very clear on what your needs are and then find the confidence to express and communicate them to others so you can ensure they are met, a suggestion is to write a blog about something that interests to getting your creative juices flowing or how about trying poetry and practice getting creative with your words, taking singing lessons is another great options or just have sing song at home with your family for added fun !

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...
