VISHUDDHA – THROAT
The Fifth Energy Center – Throat Chakra – Azure Blue
Aquamarine, Blue Topaz, Larimar and Turquoise are my calm. My Aqua blue ray gems evoke the colours of clarity, creativity and individuality. They stimulate energy from my heart to my throat so I can courageously express my deepest, heartfelt truth with an authentic voice.
Each time I communicate from my innermost self I celebrate my individuality and my connection with the divine feminine. Expressing my essence and being heard is my inherit birth right. I am meant to communicate wild and free just as my children do.
I remember all the times when I wanted to speak up and express my truth in order to have my voice heard and I didn’t. I was a vulnerable child. I was with my first love. I was with a stranger that made me uncomfortable. There have been countless other scenarios in which I ignored my voice. I hurt myself in order not to get hurt. I stopped loving myself in order to get love. I was programmed with the disease to please. These moments had a negative and self-defeating impact in my life.
I have had to really focus on letting myself be heard, valuing and respecting the beauty and power of my voice. A woman connected to her Divine Feminine power knows how to ask for what she needs.
Expressing our truth with confidence and conviction can be a confronting and terrifying experience. Your voice might tremble. You may lose a friendship or a business deal but priority number one you will not lose yourself.
If you find yourself having tantrums, being passive aggressive, manipulating and bottling up your ability to communicate then your emotions are blocked.
Your emotions don’t go away- they are the essence of who you are and they impact the direction of your life.
It is far more empowering to lift your head up out of the sand and be brutally honest with yourself. If is always best to speak your truth even if you face conflict for a few minutes. There is nothing more damaging than treading on eggshells and dodging the obstacles in your way for years and even decades.
I have had to really focus on letting myself be heard, valuing and respecting the beauty and power of my voice. When I speak from my core self, from a space of love and grace (not from an egoic mind) I find it so cleansing. I know each thought I have is a truth I need to articulate. It makes me feel lighter. When I speak with my true voice, I attract people around me who resonate with the essence of who I am. I allow the flow of the universe to support me in manifesting my intentions.
My Aquamarine cools my breath. She evokes the purity of crystalline waters, and the exhilaration and relaxation of the sea. She calms, soothes and cleanses me. I can trust and let go.
Have you ever asked yourself who or what is stopping you from articulating your thoughts, ideas and feelings clearly and with confidence? Are you afraid of your voice? When we honour ourselves we revere our self worth. When we put our needs first we are stating to ourselves that we have a right to stand out and shine. What we have to contribute to the collective is valuable.
When you compromise your truth over and over again, being silent and agreeing, energetically bending and warping it is destructive and you can live life hiding in a shadow place. We cannot thrive behind a veil of pretence. If you allow yourself to get energetically smaller and smaller you can betray who you are. This will leak your life force and vitality. We must say no to repressing toxic feeling and letting this energy stagnate and fester into physical illness and emotional pain. The world needs you to show up visible and vital.
Whether you are a life coach, dermatologist, florist, entrepreneur, healer, physician, domestic goddess, mother, wife or human rights activist you have a unique truth to express to the world. Truth doesn’t need proof. It is loves language and it holds its own resonance that cuts through the darkest fear. If whatever you say comes from that pure innermost place of heart, compassion and integrity, it’s impossible for another person to reject, judge, hate, criticise or get angry at you.
Say to yourself, “I do not fear what someone will think of me, I do not fear not being liked”. It is ok if someone does not accept you, it is okay to hurt someone’s feelings and to rock the boat. We must believe in our truth and trust our own authority.
My blue rays help me to connect with myself and open up my throat so that I can remember both my source and my purpose on this earth. I envision a turquoise orb spinning at my throat diffusing old negative memories, releasing lies, whispers, secrets and screams. It is an open conduit between heaven and earth so that I can express my true self and essence.
Are you living your life pursuing your souls calling? It is important to have embraced your special purpose which is up to you to name. Without purpose you might ask what’s the point of getting up every day? Life can’t just be about growing-up, getting a job, having kids, going on holidays, retiring, and dying, can it? Is that why we are here on earth?
A purpose is a master plan for our life. Knowing our purpose helps us avoid getting lost in the minutia of daily life by keeping our eyes on the mission. Our purpose sets up the entire context for our lives. Without a clearly defined purpose, we are just a haphazard combination of goals and actions meandering through space and time.
Living on purpose means doing what truly matters to you in alignment with your values and beliefs, being who you were born to be. As long as your purpose In your work, play and relationships fills you with passion, it can be simple or complex or daring. What is your legacy?
When you aren’t being you, everything is foggy and colourless. You’re bored and busy at the same time. You feel listless and lethargic, and so you medicate to fix it. If you ignore your higher self for too long it will try to get your attention, sometimes with little punches and sometimes with a big slap across the face.
When you’re in alignment, life is right. Things are easy, and everything just works. You feel alive, passionate, and lit up from within. You aren’t concerned with how to get where you’re going; you’re sure of yourself, even if you’re scared at the same time. Your work brings you joy, it is life giving not energy sucking. You don’t doubt yourself. You feel good about your choices. You don’t need approval from those around you. You know who you are. You have tapped into the knowing that you have so much to give. The fear of what others might think of you has been replaced by the belief that people need your gifts and talents.
My Larimar reminds me to reside in absolute truth. My fears wash away in my new awareness and I no longer hide from myself. The white inclusions and the blue wisps are like waves breaking in the ocean. It is air and water combined, birthed through volcanic fire and made physical in the earth’s sacred embrace.
The outcome of living the Oceana lifestyle is that I remember my source, find my voice and speak from the wholeness of my being. I finally feel like my life is no longer on hold and that I am living my destiny. I dive deep into my wisdom and personal truth. I Am in alignment and allow my soul to express my calling in the world.
I am Goddess
