For the past 9 months or so I have been focusing on opening up my throat chakra, “Vishudda.” This chakra is an important instrument of communication, expression, sharing your truth, creativity, and connecting with your spirit and purpose.

I felt a massive imbalance in this area. It was the bottleneck to reaching my full expression and authenticity. It was also an important reference point for me to align myself with the whole chakra system. Meaning, if I unblock this, I feel more aligned with my heart chakra, etc.

I knew I had a blockage here because I felt timid, insecure, introverted, and a loss of direction. However, the most overwhelming aspect of it all was feeling a lack of vocation in my life.

To open this up I focused on feelings of confidence, and for once I started experiencing faith in myself and my vision. I pretty much brainwashed my body to feel specific elevated emotions that I wanted to receive. Through this, I stripped away the layers and revealed my soul, then aligned myself with it. I aimed to do everything with intention and I started connecting with my god. Before, I was a slave to myself and to this society. I wasn’t thinking enough outside of the box. I had big dreams but lacked motivation and discipline to achieve them, which left me feeling insecure and lowered my self-esteem.

But, when I was able to clear this blockage through deep meditations, breathwork, yoga, and journaling, I actually felt like I was able to let myself go and in result become whole. 💫 I started loosening up my hips through dance and I even started singing! Lol, something I would’ve never done before and now I even sing when people are around. The guitar I bought 4 years ago was finally put to use, and I can even play a few songs now. 😊 All of this effected other areas of my life. My job, my relationships, my purpose. I was able to speak as if I finally knew who I was, and I started acting like it. Not by going on the other side of the spectrum, but by staying down to earth and grounded in myself. 💌

Most of us have energetic blocks which prevent us from reaching our full vitality and can lead to some serious emotional feelings and can even show up as illnesses in the body. I’m curious if any of you have felt blockages before and how you managed them? Whether or not you believe in chakras, I believe focusing on these energetic centers gets you reflecting in a very positive way. It forces you to go inward which has a very impactful outward effect.
