Opening the Chakras—The linked website will give you instruction on opening all of your chakras including the
Throat.
Yoga Neck
Exercises
Head
Raise—Lie flat on your back. Relax. Lift your head slowly leaving the shoulders
on the floor and look at your toes. Hold
the position until you feel the energy move into your throat.
The following yoga poses are described on the linked websites better than I can, so go there for proper performance. These are designed for all age groups and
physical conditions.
Advanced Yoga Postures for Throat Chakra
The next set of
exercises is designed for the more experienced practitioner who is in decent
shape. If you are not in good physical
condition do not attempt these poses. Be
sure to observe all of the precautions described on the website. As with any exercise program you should check
with your physician prior to starting the program. No one should perform
exercises that will hurt or injure them. Please see contraindications on the linked site before performing a pose.
Dandasana (Staff Pose)
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana
(Bridge Pose)
Viparita Karani
(Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose)
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?
Aromatherapy
Oils
Benzoin
(Styax benzoin, S. tonkinensis)
Bergamot
(Citrus bergamia) Earl Gray Tea has begamot in it and tastes marvelous
Blue
Chamomile (German) (Matricaria chamomilla or M. recutia)
Frankincense
(Boswellia thurifera or B. carteri)
Oil diffuser, on a low wattage lamp bulb itself.
In simmering (not boiling) water.
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.
