Opening the Chakras—This website will give you instruction on opening all of your chakras including the Throat. http://www.eclecticenergies.com/chakras/open.php

The exercises for the throat stimulate your

These connections describe the exercises better than I can, so go here for them. These are designed for all age groups and physical conditions.
The next set is designed for the more experienced practitioner who is in decent shape. If you are not in good physical condition do not attempt these poses. Be sure to observe all of the precautions described on the website. As with any exercise program you should check with your physician prior to starting the program. I do not expect anyone to perform exercises that will hurt or injure them.
Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose)
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose)
Viparita Karani (Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose)
Non-physical Exercises
Play charades with a friend. Try to communicate for one hour without making any sounds, only hand gestures, facial expressions, and body movements. What was the most difficult thing, and did it get any easier after a while?
Vow of Silence—Don’t use your voice for an hour. By avoiding verbal communication one can open up other means of communication, namely with higher self. Try extending the time to a couple hours, then by another hour, and shoot for a day.
Voice Recording—Record you voice during a normal conversation. See how much you say and how much you listen. Do you interrupt, or falter in speech? What is your tone of voice? If you didn’t know this person what would you think about them?
Aromatherapy Oils
Benzoin (Styax benzoin, S. tonkinensis)
Bergamot (Citrus bergamia)
Blue Chamomile (German) (Matricaria chamomilla or M. recutia)
Frankincense (Boswellia thurifera or B. carteri)
Methods for dispersing are in hot melted candle wax (unscented candle of course). Don’t get oil in flame, just drop on top of melted wax. Oil diffuser on low wattage lamp, or on low wattage lamp bulb itself. In simmering (not boiling) water.
Activities for the Throat
Sing (even off key if you must), in the shower, in the car, when you’re alone, karaoke. Record your affirmations and play them back to yourself while you sleep. Chant. Read Poems. Just Five minutes of these activities helps. Start a journal to express your feelings safely. Quit using addictive drugs, including cigarettes and coffee.
Light Meditation
Get comfortable. Take three minutes and study the picture of the Himalayan Blue Poppy. Absorb the color. Now lie down or recline in chair or bed, and relax. Feel that vibrant blue color moving through you eyes to your throat… Feel is mix with the energy of your throat chakra… Feel that blue color mingle with the motion… How does the swirling of this chakra feel… Is it moving fast enough? Or is it whirling out of control?... Ask your higher power to adjust any imbalance of this chakra… Feel it fall into a natural, comfortable vortex that draws in energy for your use… You have a right to get what you need and want… You now have the power and wisdom to ask for what you need and want… The blue energy allows you to listen attentively to others, and verbalize your desires in a non-threatening way… If you are not heard, this is not a flaw in you, and it doesn’t mean that you don’t deserve what you want… The difficult is in the person with whom you are speaking as they may not be able to hear due to an imbalanced chakra… You have a right to speak up for what you want… End of meditation.
When you feel that you are not being heard by someone, imagine that wonderful blue energy filling your throat chakra. Now speak your carefully chosen word, which may help the other person hear you. You may also try flooding the other person’s throat chakra with that vibrant blue energy and that may help them hear you better.
