For Finding Your Voice, we will delve into the fifth chakra to explore the throat, realms of communication, voice and vibration. Here we will explore sound, expression, and communication. Short writing prompts will touch into the stories we tell, the secrets we keep, the truths we swallow, and the silences we perpetuate and endure. We will practice attuning to a sense of resonance that is both palpable and visceral as well as more subtle and intuitive. Self-expression is the gateway between the inner and the outer, between mind and body. While unlocking a flow of creativity is essential, blockage in the throat can be utterly debilitating.
What is blocking us from expressing our truth, our outrage, our magic? What makes us hide in silence? Deficiency here arises as an inability to find your words. Excess is when our talking becomes a defensive tactic, controlling the narrative, the conversation, the storyline. Central to this chakra is the element sound which can create real transformation through vibration and resonance. We will explore aspects of the throat through seed sounds, mantra and chanting as well as drumming. Seeking balance in the throat, we will touch on topics such as the art of conversation, the give and take of authentic expression and effective listening. Communication is creativity in motion, in connection, in exchange. Combining will and consciousness, the voice becomes a conduit for creating real intimacy, a sense of really being heard.
