Sing! Open Your Throat Chakra

Collectively, we are working to align into our Grandness, allowing the energy of Source to easily flow through us, as us - unobstructed. Thus, our energy centers are trying to clear old patterns that kept us from feeling, acting and enjoying grace and ease in our lives. Specifically, the heart and throat are doing much work at this time to open and expand in freedom. 

As the throat chakra represents speaking our truth (among other things), shame, should's, loyalty and fear are primary reasons for causing us to suppress our need to express who we are and what we want. Parents tell us who we are and aren't, schools tell us what we should become, and those we spend most of our time with project all kinds of restrictions on us. In order to be kind, correct and comply, we stop speaking our truth.

What can one do to open the throat chakra?

A simple task is to sing! Whether you feel comfortable with your voice or not, you can find a variety of places and songs to sing. In the shower or car, while cleaning house, for a lullaby, or even at a karaoke bar, allowing yourself to sing with passion and volume can be incredibly healing for the suppressed chakra. Moreover, finding songs that "speak" your truth adds an extra boost of power. 

Whether you want to proclaim "One Love" along with Bob Marley, or let your voice climb the "Stairway to Heaven" with Led Zeppelin, singing can be a simple step toward self expression and throat chakra expansion.
