Yogis,
This week we drew from deep within, allowed the energy to
rise, and then toned, screamed, roared and sent our vibration out. And it
felt very freeing! Expressing our true selves. Finding our authentic
voice.
We all have many voices we use – our parent voice, our
spouse voice, our friend voice, our board member voice, our work voice…..and
they go on and on. Usually each one slightly different in words used,
body movements, facial expression and sometimes even the pitch of our
voice. Each one tuned to what we feel is “expected” or
“accepted”. We build these voices based on life experiences and how
we were responded to when we “spoke up”.
As social creatures we want to belong and be acknowledged.
We want to please. We learn at a very young age what is “ok” to say at
home, in school and on the playground, and we slowly develop voices around
it. Often at the expense of our one true voice.
So here we are on this spiritual journey. We find the
stillness and see the pure potential. We begin to feel and awaken desire
to sense what it is that will make this life fulfilling. We visualize it
in detail and send it out to the universe fueling the inner passion, and
believing we can do it. Then at the heart we start to sense there is a
benevolent energy much bigger than us that we can surrender to with utter
trust to support us………… But then we must begin to express it. It
has to make its way passed the throat and out into the Universe to make it real.
I have to begin to speak as ME.
The throat is a very narrow channel and it is easy to
get in the habit of “swallowing our words”, becoming choked up, or having
a lump in the throat. The archetype of the closed throat is the
silent child, and it is often the cause of throat issues, TMJ and tension in
the neck. Our radiant inner energy, our truth, expanding and yearning
to get out and be heard, but trapped. It is often said – that which
you cannot communicate will control you.
What this isn’t – telling people what you
think. That is the flow from the brain out the mouth.
No throat really involved there. Vishuddha is our place of
purification and free will. Here we are communicating from the soul.
The flow is from the tailbone through your very core and out the mouth.
Speaking from the heart. These words are honest, meaningful and pure and
resonate perfectly with what is on the inside. Letting ourselves be seen.
So this week as you are speaking, begin to notice where the
words are coming from. And if you find they are just a pouring out
of the mind’s inner dialog, take a pause. Drop your awareness to your
tailbone and slowly draw an inhale up along the spine, through a wide open
throat and send an expressive exhale out the mouth. Changing the
flow. Sending you out!
My soul speaking to yours,
SARAH
