Samadhi
I watched and posted a video below of a Russian teacher and he said to teach one should have experienced samadhi once. I have been a reluctant meditator, more intent on becoming part of the world, not separate from it. My sixth house north node vs 12 th house south node confirms this direction. Balance between participation in body and melting into bliss is important. Both seem worthless separately but together quite powerful. I had a bit of time sitting, wondering at work yesterday and started to fall into a reverie which developed morre into the headspace. I am used to living strongly in my body chakras. This brought me upwards and freed me from many thoughts, worries, feelings, focuses on the other chakras. The whirlwind of the energy turning liberating one. I get somewhat down when not working, sitting home alone weekends, surfing the net. I depend so much on body movement and emotional contact. Maybe longer meditations could chill me out of that space where I feel so alone. Contact with above and myself gets more acceptable. Samadhi states get more intense over years, meaning one gets higher energy levels in whole body, each chakra and periodically a meditation can take that total energy upwards. Imagine climate change heating the atmosphere and ocean. Then when the perfect circumstances arise you get a large hurricane. I need grounding of course and don' t like being stuck with my head in the clouds, checked out of everyday life. The teacher in the video had a several hours experience while in an isolated mountain hut. This sounds like the thing one might aim at after years experience. How to manage a serious daily life in balance with spirituality? Step wise. Keep body moving with mind. The 60s movements of youth on drugs was superficial and died out. New age blah blah will die out. Religious movements grow cold. Any enthusiasm gets old. Slow persistent training in a holistic manner brings one forward. You can learn from anyone how to be a better person in any way. This never ends. God gives new opportunities to integrate new elements into your life. Keep growing.

The Bengali Religious Traditions That Transcend Gender
https://daily.jstor.org/the-bengali-religious-traditions-that-transcend-gender/
The Baul and Fakir lineages understand the cosmos through pairs of opposite essences, including male and female.
Many religious traditions have clearly defined gender roles. But to some, a strict border between genders is an impediment to spiritual practice. South Asian studies scholar Carola Erika Lorea describes one setting in India where the crossing of gender lines is crucial to religious practice: several Bengali religious lineages. (Lineages are paths by which religions are passed down from an origin, such as the way Buddhists trace their teachings back to the Buddha himself.)
Lorea conducted four years of fieldwork and research, studying overlapping religious and musical traditions. These included people who described themselves as Baul (bards with a mix of Sufi, Buddhist, and Hindu influences) and Fakir (Muslim mystics), who both share songs and religious traditions. Most practitioners come from low castes and face marginalization from the majority Hindu and Muslim religious establishments in Bengal. Many earn a living as musicians or as farmers, small-business people, or beggars.
The lineages understand the cosmos through pairs of opposite essences, including male and female essences responsible for reproduction, semen, and uterine blood. This helps account for the lineages’ complex expression of gender.
“While in the animal world of common men fecundation is achieved through the secretion of the male seed in the female’s womb, in the upside-down yogic world of Baul practitioners it is the female secretion that is absorbed and drawn upward into the body of the male,” Lorea writes.
Baul and Fakir couples are not supposed to have children. Instead, men attempt to become symbolically pregnant, while some female practitioners are believed to achieve the end of their menstrual cycles before the normal age of menopause.
Songs and traditions urge male practitioners to “become a woman,” or to take on the role of Radha, Krishna’s female consort. Lorea writes that this is partly because the lineages view women as more complete than men and linked to the universal feminine creative force (though, she notes, that doesn’t always translate to a better position in society). Some male practitioners also see acquiring more femininity as a way of achieving balance, bringing them closer to the absolute godhead, which is seen as androgynous.
To do this, some practitioners perform female roles, wearing long hair, necklaces, and nail polish, and doing typically female work like chopping vegetables. Some also value taking in female substances, including through oral sex.
Lorea writes that religious practices related to shifting gender, sometimes through cross-dressing, have a long history in both Hindu and Sufi tradition. But over time, they became stigmatized and marginalized.
“The British image of the ‘effeminate Indian’ articulated by the colonizer and internalized by Indian intellectuals and reformers surely contributed to a new perception of the cross-dresser as an immoral and obscene figure,” Lorea writes. “Moreover, with new ideals of hyper-masculinity propagated during Indian nationalism, gynomimesis in Indian performative traditions—at least in high culture—slowly declined.”
Today, many in India view Baul and Fakir practices as sexual perversion in religious garb. And some observers may see them as a carnivalesque temporary inversion of roles. But Lorea argues that their real purpose is permanent transformation, which some practitioners describe as transcending gender and becoming fully human.
Meeting with Mahavatar Babaji - Kriya Master Imram
Master in Moscow who met Babaji in 2002 after reading Marshall Govindan's book. I have the book and was initiated by him in 1999 and 2000, during which he also met Babaji. In this video he mentions seeing Babaji another time as a woman. I found this article above in my news feed this morning and before had been thinking of the strength of the female knowledge, being. All interesting coincidences.

Advaitaholic for spiritual detox
I read this guy' s blog just after he closed it. Now he made a book and went to facebook. Insightful, smart.
https://www.facebook.com/Advaitaholics-Anonymous-471671813352841/ blog entries
book
https://www.amazon.com/Advaitaholics-Sobering-Insights-Spiritual-Addicts/dp/1916290361
Shiv Sengupta experienced a powerful awakening in his twenties after suffering from years of debilitating depression. He realized that awakening wasn’t a solution in itself, but a glimpse into the right way of approaching the problem of personal existence. A problem that he spent the next decade investigating without resorting to metaphysical rationalizations, spiritual belief systems or cut-and-dry scientific explanations.
Teachers, practices, rituals, communities... in short spiritual culture, is the very thing standing in our way, according to Shiv. This ‘culture of spirituality’ is a decoy. A distraction designed to keep our vision constantly looking away from what is most evident. As long as we continue to outsource our truth-seeking to middlemen and institutions (who are more than happy to oblige us) the only truth we can hope to find is an off-the-rack variety—grossly hyped, overpriced and lacking any real substance.
With raw honesty, charming profanity and a caustic wit, Shiv Sengupta, draws our attention to some of the most fundamental questions about reality and human existence while refusing to settle for any of the rote answers that have been provided to us by scriptures, teachers and philosophers. In fact, he provides no answers of his own. Instead, he insists that it is up to each individual to determine truth by themselves.
Shiv began sharing his reflections on a Facebook page called ‘Advaitaholics Anonymous’ which gained a large readership amongst veteran spiritual seekers. This book is a compilation of his selected essays and serves as testimony of a man who has found his own mind.
Shiv is married with two daughters. A Canadian citizen born and raised in India, he can be contacted via his website: advaitaholics.com.
Tai Chi Master Demonstrates the Surprising Power of Qi Energy
Intense tai chi energy today. how to describe? opening everywhere. Afterwards cookjng breakfast a sharp pain in ball of left thumb.
https://yogaesoteric.net/en/tai-chi-master-demonstrates-the-surprising-power-of-qi-energy/
Human beings have superhuman, Jedi-like, psychic and physical powers. The CIA knows this, and we often see stories of amazing individuals who are capable of unbelievable feats of mind, body and spirit. This is built into the 99.9% part of our DNA that we all share, yet so few of us are fortunate enough to grow up in an environment where these abilities are challenged and developed from early on, and skepticism of our infinite potential is too common.
The world of Chinese martial arts is where much of this type of magic happens, and masters who’ve spent their entire lives cultivating the body’s biophysical and spiritual energy systems are legendary for feats such as healing people with their hands or starting fires with their palms. Remarkably, Qi Gong Master Kanzawa Sensei is famous for being able to put wild animals to sleep by subtly manipulating the energy fields around them with his hands.
Tai Chi, often translated as Supreme Ultimate Boxing, is a traditional Chinese martial art which cultivates inner life force energy (Qi), while strengthening one’s body, mind and spirit for combat, self-defense, and longevity.
“Qi, which is pronounced Ki in the Japanese arts, is the Chinese word for energy, and pertains to all forms of energy in the universe. In martial arts and Qi Gong, it specifically refers to human Qi, the bioenergy or life force within every cell of the human body.” – Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming
Through a lifetime of practicing specific forms, drills, exercises, meditations and other esoteric methods which strengthen and purify the energetic centers of the body, true masters of Tai Chi can develop very refined and potent internal energy which be visibly demonstrated in remarkable ways.
In the following video, a master of Tai Chi is seen using physical movement in coordination energetic movement to jar and repel younger students, forcefully throwing them backwards and off-balance with very small movements of his body.
His actions, though subtle in appearance, have a disproportional effect on his opponents. To the skeptic, this may seem unbelievable, but while charlatans do exist, this demonstration is authentic.
For those who’ve been in the presence of genuine Masters of Qi, and have practiced Tai Chi or other Chinese internal martial arts, this is quite real and very possible.
Lower dan tien is the base foundation of the body’s energy structure, acting as the root, or grounding center, and as well as being the physical center of the human body, this is where the development of powers such as these begins.
Dan Tien
Dan tien literally means Field of Elixir. The locations in the body which are able to store and generate Qi (elixir) in the body are the Upper, Middle and Lower Dan Tien which are located, respectively, between the eyebrows, at the solar plexus, and a few inches below the navel (Dr. Yang, The Root of Chinese Qigong: Secrets of Health, Longevity & Enlightenment).
Beyond basic training of dan tien, there are an almost infinite number of techniques which can be practiced, such as Fah Jing, Hsing Ie, and Ba Gua Zhong, all of which are nuanced means of developing explosive energy, deeply rooted balance, and in intense mind-body connection.
Describing the process of how such remarkable energy can be created so quickly, renowned Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Qi Gong master, Dr. Jwing-Ming Yang remarks: “Theoretically, in order to activate the muscles to generate force or power, the mind must lead the Qi to the area where the muscles should be energized. For example, when you push a car, you must first generate an idea, and from this mind, an electromotive force (EMF) is generated. From this EMF the Qi is led to the muscles for energization. Through the nervous system (a highly electrically conductive system) the muscles are stimulated and contract, thereby generating action.”
In layman’s terms, the human body can be trained to operate as a directed energy weapon, as is demonstrated in the video above.
Final Thoughts
The mind is capable of becoming just as rigid as the body, but anyone can develop their internal energy system and enhance their Qi to improve their life. The fundamentals of Qi training are easy enough for anyone and are outlined in five basic principles by Dr. Yang: strength and flexibility, the breath, the mind, the energetic system, and the spirit.
To conclude, here are the wise words of Nikola Tesla: “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence. To understand the true nature of the universe, one must think it terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

Taoism - The Power of Not Forcing

Hollywood always same. I watched an old Jimmy Stewart Western and he got all the good emotional parts in the scene. Others were statists. Life is always a gradual fight of greys, colors, back and forths. Stars are everything in such stories onscreen.

Cranes - Zhuravli
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuravli
The Dagestani poet Rasul Gamzatov, when visiting Hiroshima, was impressed by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and its monument to Sadako Sasaki,[2][citation needed] a girl who contracted leukemia as a result of the radioactive contamination of the city. Following Japanese traditions, she constructed one thousand paper cranes, hoping (in vain) that this might save her life. The memory of paper cranes folded by this girl—a girl who to this day serves as one symbol of the innocent victims of war—haunted Gamzatov for months and inspired him to write a poem starting with the now famous lines:
"I sometimes feel that the soldiers
Who have not returned from the bloody fields
Never lay down to earth
But turned into white cranes..."
Translations
The poem was originally written in Gamzatov's native Avar language, with many versions surrounding the initial wording. Its famous 1968 Russian translation was soon made by the prominent Russian poet and translator Naum Grebnev, and was turned into a song in 1969, becoming one of the best known Russian-language World War II ballads all over the world.[1]
One of the best English translations in verse of the Gamzatov's poem was produced by an American poet ©Leo Schwartzberg 2018:
CRANES
Sometimes I feel that all those fallen soldiers,
Who never left the bloody battle zones,
Have not been buried to decay and molder,
But turned into white cranes that softly groan.
And thus, until these days since those bygone times,
They still fly in the skies and gently cry.
Isn’t it why we often hear those bell chimes
And calmly freeze while looking in the sky?
A tired flock of cranes still flies – their wings flap.
Birds glide into the twilight, roaming free.
In their formation I can see a small gap –
It might be so, that space is meant for me.
The day shall come, when in a mist of ashen
I’ll soar with cranes, and final rest I’ll find,
From the skies calling – in a bird-like fashion –
All those of you who I’ll have left behind.
Sometimes I feel that all those fallen soldiers,
Who never left the bloody battle zones,
Have not been buried to decay and molder
But turned into white cranes that softly groan…
Musical adaptation
The poem's publication in the journal Novy Mir caught the attention of the famous actor and crooner Mark Bernes who revised the lyrics and asked Yan Frenkel to compose the music.[1] When Frenkel first played his new song, Bernes (who was by then suffering from lung cancer) cried because he felt that this song was about his own fate: "There is a small empty spot in the crane flock. Maybe it is reserved for me. One day I will join them, and from the skies I will call on all of you whom I had left on earth." The song was recorded from the first attempt on 9 July 1969. Bernes died on 16 August 1969, about five weeks after recording the song, and the recording was played at his funeral.[3] Later on, "Zhuravli" would most often be performed by Joseph Kobzon. According to Frenkel, "Cranes" was Bernes' last record, his "true swan song."[1]
Legacy
"Cranes" became a symbol of the fallen soldiers of World War II. So much so that a range of World War II memorials in the former Soviet Union feature the image of flying cranes and, in several instances, even verses of the song, e.g., the Cranes Memorial of St. Petersburg.
Today, "Cranes" is still one of the most popular war songs in Russia.[1]
Since 1986, every 22 October, the Russian republic of Dagestan, the birthplace of the poet Rasul Gamzatov, holds "The White Cranes' Festival."
In 1995, fifty years after the defeat of the Nazis, Russia released a stamp in memory of the fallen of World War II. The stamp depicts flying cranes against the background of the Kremlin's War Memorial to the Unknown Soldier.[1]
In 2005, a Russian Veterans Memorial with an image of three white cranes and four lines of the poem Cranes in Russian and English was erected in Plummer Park, West Hollywood, Los Angeles County, California, United States. The cost of the 9-tonne monument was largely covered by the Los Angeles Association of Veterans of World War II, a group of Russian-speaking veterans. Local ceremonies to commemorate the end of the WWII are regularly held on the Victory Day in May. ( https://www.wehoville.com/2016/08/15/lengthy-costly-controversial-task-memorializing-veterans/ )

Heart sync and More Dream ( REM ) Sleep With a Partner in Bed

more and better sleep and dreams with a partner in same bed.
Being in the Zone or in a flow state does not happen as easily alone. Maybe yin and yang balance is harder and not meant to be in the individual, which we have sexual reproduction. I get in the zone, into a synchronous heart state with others. Since my awakening this easier. Of course getting into other' s energies is getting on their nerves. Like they feel my crush. But there are phases to work on this. Sitting and enjoying their energy, being chilled on their mood or when I am busy working my mind loses that blissed out nirvana of love and it goes into my limbs. I move harmoniously after a while. Heart synchrony strengthens, motivates work rhythym. I bet family farming was better, less alienating than factory work, unisex in nature. Wife, husband, kids in the fields together in heart synchrony. Co sleep, instead of in separate beds or rooms overlaps enetgy fields. Maybe this is very subtle. But thought patterns, feelings, heart rhytjhym, hormones come into sync until afters many years and months you become like the other person and physically, emotionally much more stable. Call it negatively codependence but that connotes that living alone is healthy. It is not really.

Being In The Zone
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/what-it-really-means-to-b_b_10300610
I have found that I can be more in the zone at work late on Fridays. One just loosens up as the week drags on if you don' t get worn out and keep moving with repetitive work. This works well under endless repetition without breaks for hours as the body, breathing just regulates itself and the nagging complaining just drifts off and you just forget you are tired, bored or want to take a break. The body does work by itself. It experiences pleasure, has its own momentum. I think that as one ages, loses fitness that this gets more difficult. However yoga has helped me maintain flexibility, tai chi helps with balance. But both and strength, endurance come out mindlessly. It is effortless dance. Can one hold youth as one ages? This is a big part of that. Meditation is one form of freedom but one can only meditate so long, sports like weights, jogging or tai chi are also limited. But we must work. Many do desk jobs. Similar effects can occur for mind numbing tasks. States of flow kick in. Then our productivity and joy in process, not for substance, is felt. Our heart becomes harmonized, synchronized with our limbs. Our main chakras work in union with our balance, our dexterity. I think younger peopls have this part easier, acheive it more naturally on the physical level. However motivation might be lacking as major goals are unfulfilled, worries nag, one is self conscious. Older people are comfortable with themselves but have grown stiff, tired, beaten down, worn out The ideal is to have a youthful body and aged wisdom. I recall reading about a famed pitcher who at 40 had a trainer for himself who put him through an arduous routine daily to stay fit. My sport is like this but it would never be enough on its own. The yogic energy which flows, chi, prana, connects all the parts of our body and rejuvenates them continually. This happens automatically after a certain point. Although this, in and of itself, can cause massive internal stress, heat, burning, it overcomes inertial resistance dragging us into a living grave that we call aging We hardly notice, suddenly we are middle aged, old, stiff, our balance gone, flexible back is stiff. The spring in our step has disappeared. Through training and an awakening we can delay bad effects considerably. Anti- aging research ignores the esoteric as it concentrates on the scientific method and ignores ancient customs. These matters must be investigated more thoroughly. Decades of tai chi brings suppleness and a conscious energy flow to fingertips, across chakras. Yoga does similar after decades of practice and with breathing, meditation. This is a magic elixir, a feeling of flow, youthfulness experienced in the moment that usually only great athletes acheive by extreme discipline of will over many years and is limited to peak youth. However this can grow over years, allowing a second youth phase. I don' t know how long this can last. Maybe a 70-90 year old if properly maintained traditionally plus having intensive energy in the esoteric sense can suppress the wears of time. As the nerves and chakras grow in energy capacity and strength, they overcome the aging tendency around them. Perhaps a mathematical formula for this is determinable. At 25 wear and tear begins its preponderance. If sport, nutrition plus chi levels are to counter this then it must increase proportional to age. I notice that my chi continues to increase. In the last year I improved my physical disciplines, nutrition, fasting, meditation. Slowing decline to a minimum would be critical. The gadgets on our arms and electronic scales measure everything and tell us we are 35 or so although we are closer to 60. They measure, heart, fat, blood pressure, etc. Obviously the better the results desired the deeper we must dig. Kundalini blogs talk of feeling it in their bones, muscles. Texts tell of holy men who revitalized their cells, obtained a golden body. Obviously this was a centuries old science passed on highly secretively, much like our modern ph.ds. As it is self experimental, it is highly subjective. Everyone wants a pill, but not to change lifestyle. Most will not try something dubious, experimental, perhaps dangerous. This is understandable. Usually therefore fundamental life changes only occur after trauma of childhood or teen years. Our psychological or body image is bad and we need a complete ideology to get out of a socio- cultural rut dragging us down. Modern suburban lifestyles with bland food, TV, endless academic desk sitting, neurotic upbringing, loneliness, etc lead to a crisis of meaning as young adults. This spawns a cultural shift towards health foods, fitness, asian religious practices. Due to the momentum of our culture towards progress, success, accumulation however very few reach escape velocity. Obesity,over medication, screen time, time indoors, inactivity, social isolation all increase. Mental and physical and social health are on the downswing in society despite having more and better tools to overcome them. The future as they say is distibuted unevenly. Perhaps a collapse of an insane system, focused on consumption and the rat race is neccessary. We say that hippies tried to drop out unsuccessfully. Obviously population growth, pollution, environmental destruction is the flip side of abundance, longer lives. Eating and living minimally is an answer to this. Thousands of years of East Asian culture acheived this. Emulating the American Dream is no solution. We expect limitless growth. My father worked on a gold dredge in the 1950s until the gold ran out. Then he had to move on. Chinese coal mines, Russian and Saudi oil wells will also peter out. Plastics and gas guzzlers, cheap synthetic fabrics will belong to grandpa' s days. Cement, asphalt, massive skyscrapers or electrical tools and rapidly built houses without much sweat will be wishful thinking. Hand tools, reliance on sun and wind will be normal. Then technique of being in the zone after a long week of hard physical effort in old age due to proper care will be critical and normal wisdom, not a curiosity for freaks with nothing else to do.

Vishuddha
I had a massive opening here just yesterday, connecting my heart and head strongly as a unit. This freaked me out. I felt quite angry for some reason. Perhaps a life long blockage of communication and general purpose is being lifted connecting feeling and conscious thought. Perhaps this connection has existed but now will come at higher energy levels which make one much more self certain, self confident and able to move forward. The lunar and solar eclipses direct on my north node in gemini/ south node in sagittarius are over.Mercury is exactly on my north node in retrograde as well. Of course mercury rules gemini and virgo. I felt this opening initially in connection with someone whose venus is on mxy north node, giving an assist I suppose and then I moved on to connecting my heart and head in a sort of flowing superhighway over the broad muscles of my throat and neck, also in connection with another person for support, hence my previous comments on learning, absorbing energy from one person and passing it onto another, or using this energy to deepen the experience with another. Still sometimes this is a shock, not casual. Like I can' t believe this works, like I am levitationg or something and the energies are so weird and unsettled. Will they remain or disappear? What effect will this have long term on me and my relationships? Wil this activate others' chakras strongly too, changing them? Can such changes be passed on by them to others creating a chain effect? I have saturn conjunct venus very closely in my horoscope, born shy. This seems like the expression of it, inactive throat chakra or inappropriately active, plapper nonsense or shyness. No direct confident power.
quotehttps://www.chakras.info/throat-chakra/
The Throat chakra is the fifth chakra. Located at the center of the neck at the level of the throat, it is the passage of the energy between the lower parts of the body and the head. The function of the Throat chakra is driven by the principle of expression and communication.
Throat chakra meaning
The fifth chakra is referred to as:
- Throat chakra
- Vishuddha
- Kanth Padma
- Shodash Dala
The most common Sanskrit name for the Throat chakra is “Vishudda”, which means “pure” or “purification”.
This chakra is related to the element of sound. Through the throat, sound is propagated into the air and its vibration can be felt not just in our ears, but also in our whole body. It is an important instrument of communication and expression.
Throat chakra color
The Throat chakra is most commonly represented with the color blue turquoise or aquamarine blue. The auric color of Throat chakra energy can also be seen as a smoky purple or turquoise.
Throat chakra symbol
The symbol of the Throat chakra is composed of:
- A circle with sixteen petals
- A crescent with a circle inside of it
- Sometimes, it is symbolized by a circle containing a downward-pointing triangle in which is inscribed another circle
The color of the petals is depicted as smoky purple or grayish lavender.

Location of the Fifth Chakra
The most commonly accepted location for the fifth chakra is at the level of the throat. It’s important to remember that this chakra is multidimensional and is often represented as going out of the front of the throat, and going in the back at a slight upward angle.
The Throat chakra is associated to the pharyngeal and brachial plexi and is connected to the mouth, jaws, tongue, pharynx and palate. It’s is also linked to the shoulders and the neck. The gland associated with the fifth chakra is the thyroid, which regulates the processing of energy in the body through temperature, growth, and in large parts, metabolism.
Behavioral characteristics of the Throat chakra
The Throat chakra is associated with the following psychological and behavioral characteristics:
- Expression, in particular ability to express your truth, to speak out
- Communication, whether it’s verbal or non-verbal, external or internal
- Connection with the etheric realm, the more subtle realms of spirit and intuitive abilities
- Propensity to create, projecting ideas and blueprints into reality
- Realizing your vocation, purpose
- Good sense of timing
The Throat chakra is about the expression of yourself: Your truth, purpose in life, creativity. Note that this chakra has a natural connection with the second chakra or sacral chakra, center of emotions and creativity as well. The throat chakra’s emphasis is on expressing and projecting the creativity into the world according to its perfect form or authenticity.
Another function of the throat chakra is to connect you to spirit. Because of its location, it’s often seen as the “bottleneck” of the movement of energy in the body. It sits just before the upper chakras of the head. Opening the throat chakra can greatly help align your vision with reality and release pressure that may affect the heart chakra that is located just below.
The throat chakra is associated with the etheric body, which is said to hold the blueprint or perfect template of the other dimensions of the body. It’s an important reference point to align the energy through the whole chakra system.
5th chakra imbalance
A blocked throat chakra can contribute to feelings of insecurity, timidity, and introversion. On the other end of the spectrum, an overactive throat chakra may also lead to gossiping, nonstop talking, and being verbally aggressive or mean. It can seem as though the filter between the discourse you have in your mind and what comes out of your mouth is not working, or missing entirely.
When the throat chakra has an imbalance, it can manifest as:
- Lack of control over one’s speech; speaking too much or inappropriately;
- Not being able to listen to others
- Excessive fear of speaking
- Small, imperceptible voice
- Not being able to keep secrets, to keep your word
- Telling lies
- On the opposite side, a closed throat chakra might manifest as excessive secretiveness or shyness
- Lack of connection with a vocation or purpose in life
Throat chakra: To go further
