‘Compassionate people ask for what they need. They say no when they need to, and when they say yes, they mean it.’ - Brene Brown
Do you struggle to find your voice when setting boundaries, keeping calm in conflict, or simply saying how you feel when it truly matters?
Do you find yourself at a loss for words, feeling anxious in social situations, or fearful around the idea of speaking up for yourself?
If you said yes to any of these, we hope this article will provide some solutions.
These feelings and discomfort around speaking your truth and effective communication are not uncommon. There are uncountable courses, counseling programs, and training centered around these exact topics to help people become better communicators at work and in their relationships.
While many of these are terrific and provide invaluable skills, what if there was an energetic piece to the puzzle that many of these are missing?
Your body is comprised of seven energy centres that are known as the Chakras. The fifth of these energy centres is commonly known as the Throat Chakra.
Physically, the Throat Chakra oversees the thyroid, which is a gland responsible for hormone regulation, metabolism, and the body's growth and development. Energetically, the fifth Chakra, also known as Vishuddha in Sanskrit, is responsible for clear, open, and honest communication.
There are several tools and resources that can help you to unblock the Vishuddha Chakra and allow yourself to find your inner voice:
Learning to speak up, tap into your inner voice, and feel you are being heard are not luxuries reserved only for some. Use these recommendations daily as spiritual assets in your Throat Chakra harmonizing tool kit.
Germaine and the team at Empath Designs are helping people speak their truth and easing fear around self-expression through captivating visual art and powerful and effective meditation sets. These thoughtfully curated sets make a beautiful gift for yourself or a loved one.
What does Vishuddha mean? Vishuddha is the Sanskrit word for pure or purification. Concerning the Throat Chakra, it relates to self-expression, the ability to speak your truth, and honest communication.
What are the signs of an underactive Throat Chakra? Those who are struggling with an underactive Throat Chakra can experience feelings of shyness, fear around speaking up, fear of being judged, and avoid conflict at all costs.
What are the signs of an overactive Throat Chakra? When the fifth Chakra is working overtime, it can lead to many unpleasant issues such as: feeling like you have ‘no filter’, a tendency to gossip, a condescending tone, and speaking with ego and arrogance. In addition, it can cause issues in relationships as those close to you feel you do not listen to them.
