In my work the throat chakra is overlaid by the blue ray – the ray of your social cause. Blue is about what you are called to do spiritually with your life.
Blue aligns with the thyroid gland, so it supports our immune system and helps us to overcome viruses. I’ve been working with Blue Ray because of the sore throat issues and also persistent swollen glands. When I looked at the swollen glands using kinesiology I was taken back to distant relationships where I hadn’t spoken my truth – I’d suppressed anger, hurt and betrayal – I really didn’t know how to express these things at the time.
I started writing this post months ago, but never finished it because I’ve had unreliable internet since I was forced onto the NBN. I could not resolve this issue with the company I was with – they would not fix the line. They just sent me new modems, three in total. I repeatedly told them that this was not a modem problem it was a line problem. They wouldn’t listen. And I could not make myself heard, they only responded to complaints if I yelled at them (very stressful) and even then wouldn’t investigate properly. Anyway, I changed to another company and the problem was instantly resolved just by being connected to a different point at the node.
So I’ve been thinking more about the throat chakra, about feeling not heard and about pushing to get a result. Being assertive did not resolve the internet problem, sidestepping the issue and taking another route did. The change needed here was to find another way, not to fix the road I was on. This chakra is also about creative expression, purification, rhythm and the media as a forum for communication.
The throat chakra operates at the level of Divine Will, and aligns us with place and purpose. A balanced throat chakra allows us to move into the flow of Divine Will. By overcoming the demands of the childish small will we can move into a larger flow, we can stop pushing, trying, and allow things to materialise . “What many of us lack in our lives is this resonant rhythm, the integrating aspect that connects us from the very core of our being to the heartbeat of the universe. Consequently, we are at odds with the world and with ourselves . we lack co-ordination, cohesiveness and grace.”(Wheels of Life, Anodea Judith)
I hope I’m moving into more co-ordination now. It is such a relief to turn on my computer and instantly connect to the internet – a huge stress has been resolved. I can even write this post – an expression of my social cause and the blue ray.
