Greetings dear yoga students,Hoping this email finds you well. Spring is almost here and it is time to embrace our creativity and expression. The visshudda chakra is the center of communication. When it is balanced we can speak our truth with the wisdom of the heart and the integrity of the mind. Words are powerful. They have the ability to heal and destroy relationships. The words we say to ourselves can empower us or block our own growth as well. When we align our intellect with what is true for us by connecting to source for guidance, we can speak our truth with confidence and have the ability communicate clearly our wants and needs. When our throat chakra is open and balanced we have the ability to hear others in the same way.
A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.
~Chinese Proverb
Saraswati: Goddess of Creativity, Music and Wisdom
Pay attention to your throat and what rises up each time you feel the need to express yourself. To clear the energy in your throat, chant, sing, hum….open the gateway with vibrational energy. Before your speak, pause…..pay attention to what is rising up your throat and try to speak and vibrate the highest quality of energy. As we explore the vishuddha chakra, let us focus on speaking our truth clearly and honestly in the most loving way possible to those in our lives and within our inner dialogue. Listen to the birds sing as they return after the long winter. Allow their song to fill you with joy, hope and peace…sing your song, speak your truth, dance into the day as creatively as you can expressing the only truth you can express; that which is inside you.
Some days there won’t be a song in your heart. Sing anyway. ~Emory Austin
