As with any type of meditation, try to perform this meditation when you won’t be disturbed. Turn the phone off or down, make sure the children are occupied or in bed. Find a comfortable position either sitting in lotus position, lying on the floor or bed, or in a reclining chair. Play soft soothing music. Use the aroma therapy recommendations from Lesson 5.3, or burn incense of the appropriate variety to match the aroma therapy recommendations. I like to record these visualizations on a small tape recorder. The multiple dots after words ……mean a pause of about 1 minute or more depending on the amount of time you have available for the meditation. The dots after numbers means to count slowly.
Now to begin.
Inhale somewhat forcefully and pull all that energy up from the deep red root center, through the orange sexual/regenerative center, and up and through the yellow power plexus, and the green heart level, and into your throat area, which is a beautiful blue color. Hold the air and energy in for a moment while relaxing... take in more. Now relax and soften your tongue, vocal cords, epiglottis, neck muscles, shoulders, arms and hands. With each exhalation, feel the radiant energy in your thyroid at the base of the neck, and throughout your entire upper respiratory tract. Sigh out the sound, "ah..." Open the throat chakra.
The image is an open chalice. The color is azure sky blue. The element is the subtle, highly vibrating etheric. And the human sense is pure thought. In the throat chakra, we truly discover the power of the mind, and the importance of our soul-dreams.
The throat chakra is the seat of personal creativity, and self-healing. The thyroid is a master regulator of the other endocrine glands and many of the body's complex metabolic systems, hormonal balances and the immune functions. Send the message from your mind to your body that all systems may now be in perfect equilibrium.
Visualize crystal cool blue light shining through your neck and throat, clearing out all constriction. Let go of all tension, and relax from the jaw to the shoulders, and replace it with a feeling of open space.
The "voice" center mediates your communication skills, your artistic sense, your use of tools and complex systems, and your capacity for innovation. Know yourself as a sensitive, creative being, with an original contribution to make in the world.
The throat chakra is the origin of our thought-forms, which bear real force in the world. A "word" is a creative union of thought and energy.. a vibration with purpose and meaning, utilizing the primacy of idea and sound in creation. "In the beginning was the WORD and the word was with God". At this level, ideas become thoughts, concepts, language, and your plans take on the energy to manifest in the world, as the actual results of your intent and skill. As Peter Pan said, Think good thoughts!
If you are blocked in the voice center, you may have trouble being heard, or feel inept or unoriginal. To overcome blocks in the creative center, deliberately replace all your negative ideas about yourself with positive ones. Say internally, "I am truly effective and creative."
The medium of the mind is higher thought, and symbolic knowledge. Fifth chakra dynamics are subtle, philosophical, poetic, and reflective. Consciously invoke your sense of purpose, and highest personal aspirations. Bring to mind the example and inspiration of teachers and saints. As you physically and psychically "open" your throat center, know yourself as a creative person, with an innate ability to speak the truth effectively, respond authentically to ideas, and to create and appreciate BEAUTY itself.
As you feel your breath pass through your throat, sigh out the sound "Ahhh.." Picture a pure crystal chalice filled with brilliant, deep blue light. Out of the center, a beautiful white dove emerges, spreads her wings, and lifts into the sky with breathtaking grace. You feel blessed by the vision.
