Anja-Brow Chakra-Functional Archetype-Intuitive

The intuitive is being developed more and more by people as we move into the Aquarian age where spirituality is being developed as never before. The intuitive lives life knowing that the inner voice is there to guide and assist them as they travel their life path. I believe it is the way that God speaks to us, and guides us. All that is needed is to listen, and trust the inner voice that tells us what we need to know. All knowledge is available to us if we listen to our inner voice.

If we listen, the advice is there for the taking. Many people are afraid to listen, and questions the advice that comes from the inner voice because they don’t trust it. Often that inner voice gives us information or advice that we just don’t want to take, because it seems hard or doesn't sit well with what we KNOW (intellectualizing).

It takes trust in our intuition to move into the Intuitive. Trust that, in order to move past the obstacles in life, all you need to do is listen to your intuition. Trust the inner voice, it will guide you through the rough times and good times. It has your best interest at heart.

“The Intuitive has a deep understanding of the inner core of life and how people, who are not in touch with that core, can be lost in the web of their illusions. It knows that things are not always what they appear to be on the surface and it accepts both the fragility and strength of human nature. It knows that limitation is a part of the natural process of development and at the same time it encourages everyone to be positive and develop their full potential. The Intuitive is a loving and supportive contributor to everyone’s well-being.” Chakras and Their Archetypes~~ by Ambika Wauters

An intuitive that has developed their ability, knows what is at the heart of things. They can look at the inner workings, and see what is there. They read the signs, people and objects and understand what they are seeing. It knows the difference between ego based nonsense, and truth of a situation from the perspective of love. This is the seat of wisdom.

We can all open our intuitive self and live life from that inner wisdom. With practice and continued use, we will all be living life from the seat of wisdom that is within us.

Non-physical Exercises

Play charades with a friend.  Try to communicate for one hour without making any sounds, only hand gestures, facial expressions, and body movements.  What was the most difficult thing, and did it get any easier after a while?

Vow of Silence—Don’t use your voice for an hour.  By avoiding verbal communication one can open up other means of communication, namely with higher self.  Try extending the time to a couple hours, then by another hour, and shoot for a day.

Voice Recording—Record you voice during a normal conversation.  See how much you say and how much you listen.  Do you interrupt, or falter in speech?  What is your tone of voice?  If you didn’t know this person what would you think about them?

Activities for the Throat

Sing (even off key if you must), in the shower, in the car, when you’re alone, karaoke.   Record your affirmations and play them back to yourself while you sleep.  Chant.  Read Poems.  Just Five minutes of these activities helps.  Start a journal to express your feelings safely.  Quit using addictive drugs, including cigarettes, sugar and coffee.

Light Meditation

Get comfortable.  Take three minutes and study the picture of the Himalayan Blue Poppy.   Absorb the color.  Now lie down or recline in chair or bed, and relax.  Feel that vibrant blue color moving through you eyes to your throat… Feel is mix with the energy of your throat chakra…  Feel that blue color mingle with the motion of the chakra… How does the swirling of this chakra feel…  Is it moving fast enough?  Or is it whirling out of control?...  Ask the higher power to adjust any imbalance of this chakra…  Feel it fall into a natural, comfortable vortex that draws in energy for your use… End of meditation.

The Wisdom Tidbit

When you feel that you are not being heard by someone, imagine that wonderful blue energy filling your throat chakra.  Now speak your carefully chosen words, which may help the other person hear you.  You may also try flooding the other person’s throat chakra with that vibrant blue energy and that may help them hear you better.On the other side of the communication is how we perceive others communication.

This Chakra is about how we communicate, and this is how we interact with other human beings and many animals. It is always a good, helpful activity to learn the power of good communication. It will hold you in good stead regardless of you chosen path. May favorite book on this subject is "The Dance of Connection" by Harriet Lerner Ph. D., but is directed mostly for women. There are many books on communication, and it is one of the best skills you can learn to advance your career, and your connection with your family.  It will help you understand what others are "Really" saying to you, and, in turn, help you convey information to them in a way that helps them understand what you wish to communicate. You will avoid misunderstandings that lead to anger, hurt or other negative emotions.

I hope you enjoy this.

Namaste

I AM Communication
I AM the Listener
I AM that I AM
