Therapy: Throat Chakra

-


                                                        Throat Chakra: I Speak

The Throat Chakra is the house of a person's self-expression, communication, honesty, authenticity, and their true-life purpose. It is also at the centre of our ability to listen to others.

In Sanskrit this chakra is, VISHUDHA.

It lies at the centre of the throat where the thyroid gland is located.

The colour of this chakra is a vibrant, peacock blue.

When this chakra is out of balance, we will have difficulty in communicating with others. A blockage of self-expression prevails along with a lack of confidence when communicating with others. A person with a blocked throat chakra can come across as extremely shy or can display a very secretive personality. A person with an obstructed or imbalanced throat chakra may also suffer from headaches, oral health issues and/or a sore throat that won't go away.

When in balance, a person is better able to communicate and express themselves There is a confidence in their interactions. The person with a fully active Throat Chakra is unafraid of speaking and seeking their truth.

Yoga poses that can help to awaken and balance the Throat Chakra include the cobra pose, the fish pose, camel pose, and child pose.

The mantra for the Throat Chakra is, HAM.

Affirmations:

I am an honest person.

I can convey my feelings.

My ideas matter.

My opinion matters.

I can listen to and honour the opinion of others.

Foods:

Blueberries, figs, blue corn, coconut water and/or tea made with butterfly pea flower can help heal and balance the Throat Chakra.

Crystals:

Sapphire, azurite, celestine, sodalite and turquois




It is important to note that all the seven chakras must be aligned and balanced, we cannot single out one chakra to bring harmony to one area of our lives. All the chakras are deeply connected and 'retuning' just one will not be of any benefit.

Brexit Briefing: Florence.

artycelia   I am quite dreading the speech in Florence on Friday. I hope Boris is gagged and chained while Mrs May spouts another load of silly meaningless slogans and soundbites. ' We will survive and thrive following our departure from the European Union ' 'We will continue to have a close relationship with our European neighbours.' ' We will be enjoying new trade deals outside of the EU ' 'We are stuffed, can we call the whole thing off?' Boris wriggling out of his chains yelling, 'bus, BUS, what about the BUS? ' Ho hum. I am sure the EU are shaking in their shoes. What an embarrassing mess we have gotten ourselves into.

Update: April 2024

This is a painting of, erm, the cancerous tumour that I found in my breast in 2021. It's gone now. I felt much better after the painting was completed, sort of serene. Despite the brutal treatment that is chemotherapy, I have depicted the cancer as drifting away, parts of you do drift away while going through treatment, and some parts return while others do not. That's how I feel anyway. I moved house last year. My rented house was too big with just me in it. It was fine when occupied with my daughters, a grand-daughter, a grand-daughter's dad and my lovely dog, but people grow and need to move on. My dog reached the end of his road. The day I lost him was the saddest day of my life. I know I probably shouldn't say that but he was deep in my heart and I loved him unconditionally. I won't ever get another dog, that 'going to sleep' business is a train wreck, one that you are watching and also feel responsible for, even though you are not. I am now living with

Gallery Today: Gaza

  The first painting is my interpretation of a Miro. The second painting is my interpretation of the war in Gaza, based on a painting by Fernand Leger c 1927. It's maybe easier to put one's thoughts into a painting, in this one, the flag of Israel bleeds into Palestine, land is stolen, territory is taken, people are annihilated. I find it horribly, well horrible, that Netanayu seems to be following in the footsteps of the very person who set out to destroy his people. I just cannot understand how the world can step aside and allow this genocide. Sometimes I just feel the need to paint a picture.
