August Blog
How is everyone’s journey this retrograde? It’s been a roller coaster for me, with its share of disappointments, feelings of being lost, and some truly amazing moments. This period is perfect for purging physically, mentally, and spiritually. It’s all about letting it out through our voice and actions.
August focuses on clearing the throat chakra, located at the centre of the neck and associated with the colour blue. This chakra helps with communication, self-expression, and truth. When blocked, it can lead to issues like sore throats or more severe illnesses, including mental health challenges like anxiety and depression. I’ve found that not expressing myself can even lead to physical discomfort, such as nausea, as my body struggles with misalignment.
The throat chakra, the fifth in our energy system, is for clear, authentic communication and understanding of your inner voice. Balancing enhances your ability to express thoughts and feelings, nurtures creativity, and maintains honesty in your interactions. Being true to yourself and expressing your feelings allows energy to flow freely, improving your health and attracting like-minded individuals who respect your boundaries and confidence.
Clear communication is key to ensuring your thoughts and intentions are understood, which allows trust and strengthening in your relationships. It reduces misunderstandings and conflicts, allowing meaningful and authentic interactions.
To heal and balance your throat chakra, consider using crystals like Blue Lace Agate, Aquamarine, Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, Turquoise, and Amazonite. These can be worn as jewellery, carried with you, or placed on the throat during meditation.
Singing and chanting are also effective for clearing the throat chakra by increasing vibration and altering the frequency you project into the world. This practice helps with tone and clarity of expression, balancing between being too soft or too loud.
Incorporating the colour blue into your surroundings, whether through clothing, accessories, or visualisation, will support throat chakra healing. Blue symbolises clarity, calm, and effective communication, helping in honest self-expression and emotional balance.
Practice speaking up by first rehearsing in front of a mirror, then with a person like a stranger, and gradually with those you need to speak to more seriously. Be patient with yourself; even if you feel nervous, just take the plunge, and it will become easier.
You’ve got this! While the journey may be challenging, and you might lose some people along the way, this is the perfect time to clear and heal your throat chakra. Once healed, this new clarity and communication will be a powerful and lasting skill.
“Love yourself, be authentic, and know who you are. Let me fall in love with you.”
