Do you find that you are having a hard time telling the truth or telling others what you are thinking or feeling? Do you feel scared to communicate with others? If any of this is true, chances are that your throat chakra is blocked. There are things that you can do to unblock your throat chakra and to learn to express yourself better.
Blue
Find things that are blue because blue works with the throat chakra to make it stronger. Wear something blue or keep blue jewelry on your body. Using blue can be soothing for your life and you can also use it to keep your throat chakra strong.
Sing
Take time to sing and to let your voice come out. You don’t have to sound great just give it all you can. You can use your own voice to read something or to sing but just let your voice come out and do its own thing.
Exercises
There are different neck exercises that you can do that can open up your throat chakra. Try to sit straight and then let your chin touch your chest. Do this slowly and then lift your head up.
Hold your ear close to your shoulder and then do the other side. Do each exercise for about a minute. Keep doing it until you feel relaxed, and you feel that you have no pain in your body.
Positive Affirmations
One great way to open up your throat chakra is to do positive affirmations. You can do these no matter what time it is or where you are.
All you have to do is repeat something positive over and over again. Do this while you are taking a bath or while you are driving in your car. You can make up your own or here are some ones you can say:
- I am focused.
- I am true to who I am.
- I can express myself easily.
- When I speak, I have powerful words.
- I have a strong and unique voice.
- My feelings are valid.
Journaling
Another great thing that you can do to keep your throat chakra open is to journal. Write each day in your journal about what you are feeling. Take about half an hour to write and say anything that you are feeling. Do not worry about spelling everything right or doing it all right but just connect with who you are. You can ask yourself these things:
- What are my fears?
- Have my fears changed over time?
- What is causing me to feel stress?
- Do I feel sad?
- What emotions am I feeling right now?
Lion’s Breath
The Lion’s breath is an exercise that can help to get rid of stress out of your body. You need to sit down and make sure that your head and your torso are lined up. Take in a deep breath through your nose and then stick out your tongue as you let your breath out. Let out a roar while you are doing this.
As you do this, imagine that you are no longer stressed and make sure that you are being silly and having fun along the way.
Blue Crystals
There are blue crystals that you can use when you meditate, and they can help you to relax and have better energy. You can use them to open up your throat chakra and to be stronger.
These stones such as the blue turquoise can help you to open up your throat area, can help you to communicate when you are struggling for this, and it can help you to feel warm and cared for.
Healing Vibrations
