Today let us talk about the fifth chakra or the throat chakra.

And this is very much around expressing who you really are,

like just being you as you.

The element here is ether or sound.

So it's very much around expressionOf course this is throat chakra as well.

So this is how you express how you talk, how you are able to be, really.

And you could not be true to yourself if you don't really understand yourself

if you haven't already done that work.

It's very much being authentic, it's very much being genuine, it's very

much about really being that person.

The affirmation for this chakra is very much around I release myself.

Being able to embody who you are, that is very much that essence of feeling

free and of feeling like you are free to vibrate, you are free to be as you are.

So when you say this affirmation, that I release myself, what you are in fact

saying is that you let go of the parts that are not yours and you are really

releasing yourself so now there's no limit and you can just be as you want to be.

So let's look at what does a healthy throat chakra look like.

What are the signs that you can know whether your throat

chakra is balanced or not?

So first it's very much around speaking.

So are you able to speak?

Do you feel comfortable with your voice even?

That's a sign of how much are you able to be authentic?

Like a lot of people will complain that they don't like their own voice.

And that's just a sign that they need to work on their throat chakra.

Are you able to speak up to keep your feelings bottled in?

Are you able to share what you want?

What feels okay to you?

What doesn't feel okay to you?

Are you able to share positive emotions?

Are you able to share feelings of love?

Are you able to really be vulnerable in that space and go,

Hey, I'm really in love with you.

Can you acknowledge that?

Can you do that?

That dependency?

Can you have that?

Can you just say what you feel?

Whether that's deep feelings of love or whether that is.

feeling hurt.

Can you convey that?

So do your emotions go up and down with that or can you just really have a chat

like a non emotional but explanatory chat?

So if you are someone who tends to run away from conversations like this or

someone who just cannot share their emotions too much, then chances are

your throat chakra is not that balanced.

A balanced throat chakra is where you are able to speak and be yourself.

If you are able to put yourself out and just be who you are, if you're not as

conscious of how you are dressing, what you are saying, if you can just be, if

you are comfortable in your element, then that's a balanced throat chakra.

Now throat chakra is a lot around communication and hence social

media comes in here as well.

I'm talking about social media in the sense where people are using

social media to express themselves.

If you are putting on a vibe there that is not you, then just ask

yourself, why is that happening?

Why do you feel like that?

Because those underlying fears and doubts will give you clues to the areas

that you need to heal within yourself.

If on social media you can be truly authentic, that would be a sign that

you have a balanced relationship.

Now, how much you feel influenced by, let's say the likes, the followers,

comments, et cetera, so on, if you were deriving your validation with that,

then again, that's an outward focus.

It's not an inward focus.

All the chakras are very much Inward focus like that's what they want you to get to.

That's the evolution that all the chakras are eventually leading you to.

So if you can be as you are, and it doesn't mean upsetting people.

It doesn't mean, raising your voice and going like, okay, I need to

really champion this cause or so on.

You can do that, but if it comes from a place of ease, where you can just

be, where it's not really taking over you, where you can still feel calm,

where your breath is at its usual pace, where your body is not tensing up,

then that's a balanced throat chakra.

Where you can be authentic, where you can be who you want to be, where

you can be on social media, where you can really put yourself out there,

but you're doing it more from the place of you rather than others.

The affirmation that we talked about in the beginning, I release myself,

it's around releasing yourself from all of these limitations, from all

of these bindings that I've got to say it right for this person.

I've got to do it right.

Otherwise these people will think like that or so on.

It is I release myself from all of these bindings because I'm a

free being, I'm a free person.

And in that sense, being truly authentic to yourself, it's owning your own

voice, and just being who you are.

That relationship, whether that's with social media, or that's on your

blog posts, that's in your general conversations with people, that's

your business language or work language, or your personal life.

It's just embodying who you are, who you want to be, your inner voice,

your inner truth, that's what your throat chakra beckons you to do.

Now throat chakra is also connected with the otherwise we

call them as minor chakras, hands.

And hands are so amazing with creativity.

So throat chakra is a lot around creativity as well.

It's creativity with your voice.

How do you express?

How do you say things?

And with your hands, it's a lot of writing as well.

And how do you use words?

You see words have the power of really motivating people, of inspiring

people, taking them on a journey.

But that journey could be, could be something that brings the whole

humanity forward, or the words could be something that puts someone down as well.

So it's having that balance, how much joy, how much love, how

much authenticity are you able to bring there with Throat Chakra.

So I hope that gives you enough.
