Opening the Throat Chakra

On a Quest to open my throat chakra. Saturn in my 2nd house of throat and income, has been teaching me that there is a lot of resistance in my energy. I am easily a writer, my journey with 'The Artists Way' and the 'Morning Pages' really opened up my hands. But the throat has had its ups and downs. When exercising it, I have found incredible power in it. When dormant, it thoroughly is stagnant energy.. As much as i feel i am capable of expressing myself through word, it is now a quest for me to truly free myself to express through sound. This is a sensitive area of my body being Taurus ruled. I often get sore throats, fatigue quickly after talking for long amounts of time, and often feel that people don't "listen" in the sense that they truly can't hear me or understand. The throat being the connector to the Mind and the body, is allowing me to realize in this moment that the communication channels are often difficult to manifest when the throat chakra is out of balance.

It has also come to light about my situation with my teeth and I do see this as a connection to the throat as the teeth are imperative to the speech and the sound that comes from the throat. Today, I worked on meditation for the throat chakra and I was totally restless. That is what I observed of myself. When I go to meditation it ain't a problem for me to lock down. But on my own, and specifically today when attempting to do the throat meditation, i just could barely sit through 5 min. So now i have proof that this area is crying out for my healing and attention.

I often say I want to heal others with my music. I am now seeing that if I heal myself, it is guaranteed I can heal others. I'm really feeling committed to this journey as it has been a long journey understanding my throat and belief in my talents as a singer. I have been singing since a child, but often battled with being good enough or free enough to do throat "tricks" like riffs etc. I often love coming up with melodies, they are often beautiful and soulful. If I attempt to experiment with my flow though, it is a challenge to hear any quicker tempo or other melodies, i become entrapped in my own stagnant state of the throat. I know that this may be the key to unlocking my doors and I am coming to full realizations that the work I have been forcing and pushing this year, has taught me that again I can do anything my mind desires. What if I learned to use my force in a different way? What if I didn't have to push so hard? I do value hard work. But what if I didn't have to work so hard?

I can see myself working with melodies that come easily to me. I can see myself knocking out journals, blogs, poetry, thought ideologies, and most especially beautiful tunes. I am crafting an architecture of myself, a master builder of self. Lets begin...
